Once, there was an old Tiger that could no longer hunt. One morning, he stood in a lake and held a blade of holy grass in one paw and a gold bracelet in the other. He was shouting, “Ladies and Gentlemen! A gold bracelet for charity.”
A Traveller, passing by, liked the gold bracelet. However, he was scared of the Tiger.
The Traveller said, “How can I believe that you would not harm me?”
The Tiger replied, “I admit that when I was young, I was wicked and killed many cows and human beings. Then a holy man advised me to give alms. So, now I take a bath and give things for the sake of charity. Besides, I’ve gone old. My teeth and claws have fallen off. So, what have you to fear from me?”
The Traveller believed him and went into the lake, but got struck in the deep mud.
When the Tiger saw this, he comforted him. “Oh! Don’t worry. I’ll help you,” he said, and slowly waded towards the Traveller and grabbed him.
Soon after that, the Tiger killed the Traveller and ate him up.
You must not risk your life at the cost of greed.
