Once upon a time, there lived a greedy king who was always envious of others and their possessions. He lived in luxury with everything he could ever want, but he still wanted more. One day, he met a humble farmer who lived a content life with his family. Despite having very little, the farmer was always happy and never complained. The king, feeling jealous, tried to flatter the farmer with compliments, hoping to make him admit that he wanted more. But the farmer simply smiled and said, "I have everything I need." The king was taken aback by the farmer's humility and realized that true happiness cannot be bought with money or luxury. He learned a valuable lesson about the importance of being content with what you have and not being greedy.
