8. FIGEATER’S MONEY BAG
#Inspirational Moral Stories
Once, a young fellow
loved to eat figs. Nobody knew where he had come
from, so he was
called Figeater. Figeater discovered an old money bag one
day, on which a
phrase had been embroidered: ‘Ask and you shall receive.’ It
granted each wish he
made! At first, he wished for a small sum of money,
and then, for gold
coins. Having few needs, he gave away everything to the
villagers. But, the
villagers suspected him of being a thief, and chased him
away. Roaming about,
Figeater met an old beggar, who seemed familiar. On
speaking to each
other, they realised they were looking for each other! The
old beggar was the
king in disguise, looking for his son who had been
kidnapped by robbers
in his childhood, and then abandoned. And, that child
was none other than
the Figeater! The king happily returned to his kingdom
with his son.
