Mill in Denmark 1895

Once upon a time there was a greedy miller in the world. His little water mill stood on the bank of a small river. At the edge of the forest, the miller blocked the river with a large dam. A lot of water was collected behind the dam, so the whole lake turned out. By a special pipe, water flowed from a great height to the mill wheel and thus set it in motion. Every day he grinded many sacks of grain in his mill.

Once a miller noticed a small crack in the dam wall. He was advised to repair it immediately, so that no misfortune happened. But the greedy miller said that it’s not even worth talking about such trifles, and that a few drops that seep through the crack cannot damage the dam. In fact, he simply did not want to spend time and money on repairs. In the evening, the crack became wider. The workers at the mill paid attention to the miller’s attention and asked him to repair the crack. But the miller’s greed has eclipsed his sanity.

“It's late today,” he said, “wait until tomorrow.”

At midnight, the miller awoke to a great noise. He jumped out of bed, ran down the stairs and saw that the dam had broken through and the water from the dam was spreading. Miller saw that almost all of his fields were flooded with water. A little reason, and what big consequences!
