Story for Children - Gary's Temple Visit Part III
61
Part III
In the night Gary didn’t get a wink of sleep. He was worried about his
promise given to Brown. “How can a fox go to the temple and how can I
get him the payasam?” he kept thinking. He had made the promise to Brown just to
escape at that moment. Gary wanted to tell his master about his
problem, but after a second thought he decided not to worry him.
Next day Gary got up
early and went to the temple. Brown was waiting for him on the way.
"We will wait for the poojari," Gary said. "After the pooja he will distribute payasam."
Brown didn't like his suggestion. “Idiot! Are you telling me to wait for the poojari, little pussy
cat? Will he give me payasam? I’m the most cunning animal in this world. Don’t you know that?”
Brown laughed at him.
When they reached the temple, the poojari
was performing the pooja. After a while he came out and distributed the
prasadam to the devotees and kept the remaining inside. He also gave some to Gary. Then he locked
the door and went away.

The Greedy Fox
Brown wanted to have a bigger share. He entered the temple through a small opening. He ate stomach full. And he could not come out.
Meanwhile Gary went home.
For the noon prayer, the poojari came to open the door and was shocked to see a fox sleeping inside the temple and the empty payasam vessel by his side.
The poojari locked the door again, shouted for help and soon the villagers gathered. Within no time, they killed the fox.
Next day morning, Gary came to the temple as usual. He saw his friend’s beaten up, lifeless body lying on the side of the road.
Immediately,
his master’s words came to his mind: “Greedy people will always end up
in trouble. Even the most cunning will, one day or the other, get into
trouble.”
