The lesson is greed and selfishness will not stand without a
punishment. I will choose “The Magic Prison” and the “The Story of Baba
Abdalla.”
In “The
Magic Prison,” Prince Harweda was
greedy, selfish, and didn’t
care much for
anyone except for himself. Then, his fairy
godmother brings to
a house that
she made. He
saw many sweet treats,
mirrors and windows
both the same width. Prince
Harweda started looking
at himself in the
mirrors and the
mirrors started growing
wider and windows
started growing narrower
until there was no light. Prince
Harweda was
trapped in the magic prison along
with a
little bird. So he started taking care of the little bird
by giving it food, water, and freedom.
By then Prince Harweda is caring for others and selfless.
In “The Story of
Baba Abdalla,” Baba Abdalla was a great and powerful king who had money. One day, Baba Abdalla met a merchant who
asked for eighty camels, they each get forty camels. Baba
Abdalla wanted more, so he
started getting more camels, but
still wanted more. So the merchant told Baba Abdalla a vase
with special liquid. If you dab the
liquid in your left eye, you can see all the treasure in the world, but if you
dab some in the right eye, you will become blind. Baba Abdalla did not heed the
merchant’s warning, so Baba Abdalla dabbed
both eyes with the special liquid, at
first he could see ever treasure
in the world, then he dabbed some in the right eye and became blind very fast, now
he’s poor and asking to be box on the ear because of his
greed and selfishness.
Both characters
were greedy and selfish, so the reader can learn from the characters that
greedy and selfish people will get punished. Their lesson is important because
the reader greed and selfishness can be rewarded, but with a big punishment.
