While
going, the Devil Greed in him woke up and gave advice great ,
"Aye fool! don't you like to become sole owner of that countless
wealth
Up up dear, to poison the food first and own next that countless wealth."
Convinced, he pleased the devil and ran to the cave with speed great.
When surveying the heaps in the absence of junior, the eldest said
"Can't we dispense with that imbecile and share fifty fifty each
Why giving share to that novice?" seconding it anon the other said
"Let us lie in wait at the portal and dump boulders on him one search
Descending to that nefarious level, they awaited the entry of the novice
On hearing foot steps, they threw boulders on the unsuspected novice,
Delighted at his instant death, they opened the packets and fell to anon
Alas! the poison laid them flat on the ground on reaching bellies anon.
After
years the selfsame sanyasi chanced again to visit the cave
And found to his composure, the skeletons of the three in the cave
Envisioning all that went past he burst into a song soulful
Interpreting the power of wealth and disasters it brings in full.
