On the way, they met several people who looked flustered. One of the old ladies told them that "death" was chasing them, and they had to run away quickly, or they would be killed, and suggested that others run away together. If they meet "death", they will die. They told the old lady that they had come to kill "Death". At their repeated requests, the old lady told them that "Death" was under an old oak tree at the top of the hill behind the small village.
The three of them excitedly walked to the top of the mountain and took out their sharp knives, ready to kill "Death" at any time. But unexpectedly, when they came to the old oak tree on high alert, they didn't see the hideous "death" in their imagination, but found a box of shiny gold coins. They immediately dropped their sharp knives and counted the gold coins selflessly, completely forgetting to look for "death". The leading young man said, "We must keep these gold coins, otherwise they will be considered stolen and thrown into prison." All right, let's draw lots. Whoever draws the shortest time will go to the town to buy food, and the other two will stay and keep these gold coins. Tomorrow we will divide the gold coins and go our separate ways. The youngest boy got the shortest ticket, and he went to town to buy food with a few gold coins.
The two gold coin custodians have their own ulterior motives. Finally, they came up with a plan: when their friend came back with food, they killed him, then ate the food, and then divided the gold coins that should have been divided into three parts into two parts. When the young man who bought food walked into the town, he thought, if poison is put in these foods, then those gold coins can be owned by me alone. So, he ate his fill first, then put a colorless and tasteless poison in his food and drink, and returned to his friend that night. Unexpectedly, he was killed by two friends as soon as he came back. They proudly ate the food and drinks bought by their companions, and a few minutes later, they were also poisoned to death.
They never imagined that they would be killed by "death" like "friendship" and "happiness" of their friends. What is even more unexpected is that the "death" who killed them is actually greed hidden behind gold coins.
Life sentiment
Death and greed often go hand in hand, and death is not terrible, because people will die, and no one can escape; But greed is terrible. If greed is at work, whether it is "friendship", "happiness" or life, it will soon die out.
