THE YOUNG MAN AND THE GOLDEN MOUNTAIN #Inspirational Moral
Stories
A young
man was employed by a man, who took him to a distant isle having
a
mountain of gold. The employer told him to climb to the mountain top, dig
out as
much gold as he could, and throw it down to him. When the youth
asked
how he could climb up, his employer made him drink a ‘magic potion’,
which
was a sleeping potion! As the youth slept, his employer wrapped him
in a cow
skin, and left him on the beach. Some seagulls carried the cow skin
to the
mountain top. The youth awoke, climbed out of the cow skin, and
began
digging. He threw down a lot of gold. But when he asked how he
would
come down, his employer walked away. The golden mountain became
so angry
at being robbed, that it began heaving, and blew up! The youth was
thrown
into the air and landed in his home! While the lava poured over the
cruel
employer, turning him into a statue of gold!
