Jack asked his teacher, “What is greed?” The teacher said, “To answer your question, let’s play a game. Go through the chocolate factory next to our school and ___________ the one bar of chocolate you like the most. But there is a ___________. As you pass through the factory, you cannot turn back. You must pick the chocolate as you go forward only.”

Jack went to the chocolate factory. As he walked through, he saw a nice bar of chocolate. He at once liked it ___________ he wanted to know if he might find a much bigger one further. So Jack walked on, and then he saw another bar of chocolate. But again, he thought about the ___________ thing. When the factory tour was about to end. Jack couldn’t see any chocolates as ___________ as the one he didn’t pick earlier and started to regret his decision of letting it go.

Finally, he gave up. He went back to the teacher with ___________ in his hands and told the teacher what he had done.

The teacher told him, “You did like the one bar of chocolate very much but still you kept ___________ a bigger one. And later you realized that ___________ you had let go of was the best chocolate you could find there. That is ‘greed’, my dear.”

We let go of many good things in our life because of our greed ___________ better things. It’s natural to always want that which is bigger and better. But we want something “better”, we let go of many good things. They could have given us the same satisfaction and made us happy. So learn to make your ____________ wisely.
