Once upon a tiome there was a vernerable elder.He put a bottle which was filled up with butter inhis attic. But didn' t seal and cover the cap tight and firmly.
"Wow! The smell was so sweet!" A mouse smelt the odour.He searched high and low and discovered that the smell was coming from the butter bottle. Then he got into the bottle and ate the butter without stopping everyday. The colour of his fur became the same colour as the butter.
After eating and eating, the mouse's body become fatter and fatter, day after day. He became too fat to getout the bottle.
Later someone wanted to buy the butter. The venerable elder climbed up to the attic to take the butter bottle down and put it on the fire for roasting. As a result the mouse was burnt to death very quickly, hisbones all melted into the butter.
The venerable elder sold the heated butter to that person. Aftr arriving home, that person poured out the butter and found out there were fragments of bones sinking in the button of the bottle.
That mouse turned out to be scattered her and there of his all body long ago; becme bone ash. This is the result of being too greedy. |
