Moral no. 1: Stop being greedy. Moral no. 2: Go easy on vinegar. Look what it does to your brains if you inhale the noxious fumes day in and day out :-)

Reminds me of stories of 'vikramaditya' and 'panchtantra' that our grandad used to tell us before going to bed. If only I could capture all those stories. I have forgotten most of them but bits and pieces still remain intact in my memory

I love that story! A moral, of course, but what a lovely way to make the point.

It really does remind me of childhood days when we used to get these small bedtime anecdotes and stories from our elders,always with underlying moral messages.
