Greed

The little one was walking in a forest, it seemed like it was crying. Suddenly it tripped over something big. The little one stood up and wiped it's eyes, it then looked down and saw an egg laying in the middle of the path in the forest.

The egg had a special symbol on it but the little one couldn't find out what it was. The little one picked up the egg and stroked it, "You're alone like me, aren't you?"

Of course the egg didn't respond since it's an egg.

"I will take care of you now." The little one said enthusiastically.

Skipping, the little one went into a village. There were many people living in this village but none of them seemed to notice the little one. Still skipping the little one took the egg to a small straw house and written on a small sign was the words, "Lulu."

The little one went to the sign, pointed at it, and said to the egg, "Lulu is my name, do you have a name, how about I give you a name." She thought for a little bit and then smiled, "How about eggy."

Lulu then went inside the house and placed the egg on the floor and placed straw around it, "This should keep you warm."

A knock then came from the door, with each knock it was louder, Lulu then walked to door and opened it.

"Hey little bean, I saw that you brought back something from the forest." A middle aged looking man said greedily.

"I have found an egg." Lulu responded.

"Can you show it to me?"

"Okay..." Lulu said hesitantly.

Lulu let the man in and showed him the egg, as soon as he laid eye on it they lit up, "This egg could feed the whole village!"

The man turned around looked at Lulu, "Would you mind sharing the egg, I don't think you can finish it on your own." The greedy an asked.

"No! This is my friend and I will not eat it!"

"Don't be so selfish! The whole village has been looking after you, and you can't even give us an egg."

"But it's my friend!"

The man picked up the egg and pushed Lulu away, since her body was so small, she wasn't able to fight back.

The greedy man walked to the center of the village and shouted, "We shall have a feast tonight!"

Everyone came out of their homes and saw the large egg in his arms and behind him was Lulu running towards him.

"That's my friend you can't eat it!"

An old women came up to Lulu and shouted, "It's just an egg you can always find a new one."

"But..." She couldn't say anything.

"Little bean, don't be so greedy!" The old women shouted at Lulu. Little bean was Lulu's nickname and everyone in the village called her that.

Lulu started crying and the villagers were staring at her. A women from the distance said out loud, "Too bad you don't have any parents to teach you manners." This was followed by laughter from everyone that was outside.

The greedy man then took the egg and walked away from Lulu, she knew that she had to get it back. Even though Lulu was young, she still understood basic things such as greed and that being greedy make you a bad person.

"I will get eggy back." She said to herself quietly.
