THE MISER AND HIS GOLD |English Bedtime Stories |Fairy Tales For Kids| #bedtimestories #shortstory The miser and his gold . Once, an old miser lived in a small house that had a garden. In that garden, the miser hid all his gold coins, in a pit, beneath some stones. Every day, before going to bed, the old miser used to go near the pit where he had hidden his gold to count the coins. He continued this routine to go and count the gold coins day after day. Not once did he ever spend the gold coins that he had saved. One day, a thief who kept track of the old miser’s routine waited for the miser to get into his house. And in the late evening, when it was dark, the thief went to the pit where the gold coins were hidden and stole all the gold. The next day, the old miser found his treasure missing, and he started shouting and crying loudly. Upon hearing the shrill cry, the miser’s neighbour enquired, “What happened to you? Why are you crying like that?” The miser told the neighbour about the theft of the gold treasure hidden in the pit. Upon learning what had happened last evening, the neighbour asked him, “Why didn’t you keep the gold coins inside the house? It would’ve been easier for you to access it when you had to buy something, and it would have even been difficult for the thief to steal it.” “Buy something! What buy?” asked the miser. “I have never used the gold coins to buy anything, and I was never ever going to spend it.” On hearing this, the neighbour nodded his head in disbelief. He threw a stone towards the pit and said, “If that was the case, you should have probably saved the stones, for it was as worthless as the gold coins you have lost.” The neighbour said that he should have hidden a stone in the hole and looked at it every day, as it is as worthless as the unused gold coins.
