Joseph is a greedy and stingy man. The reason for his stinginess is his wife. No matter how much money and wealth they have, she is not satisfied with it. All she wants is money. One day, Joseph learns from a friend that there is a huge treasure in a cave in the desert, a short distance from where they live. But the journey to that cave is very difficult and life-threatening, so everyone thinks twice before going there.

So Joseph came home and told his wife about this and she wanted to get this treasure. But Joseph was not very keen to go there. Because Joseph was afraid of the danger and difficulty of the journey. Even though Joseph told his wife about this, his wife kept telling him to go there and bring the treasure in the cave. Even if Joseph's life was in danger, she did not care. Because she valued the money more. So Joseph decided to go to the cave the next morning because of his wife's persistent request.

Joseph woke up early the next morning to go to the desert where the treasure was. When he left home, his wife told him not to return home unless he took the treasure with him. Joseph kept his wife's words in mind and set out on his journey. Since the desert was far from his home, it took him about 2 days to get there. Following the route his friend had suggested, he reached the desert after two days. Joseph was already very tired. Joseph could not bear the intense heat of the desert. He also felt faint, so he decided to stop and rest for a while.

There were several human skeletons in some places in the desert. Joseph was afraid when he saw those skeletons. Those skeletons could be those of those who came to get the treasure. Because as his friend said, getting the treasure is not an easy task.

After rested for a while, then Joseph walked again through forth in the desert for find the cave with the treasure. He still hadn't found the cave. It had been 4 days since he left home. But he still couldn't find the cave. He couldn't walk any further. The food and water he had brought were now gone. He didn't have the strength to go back home. He walked forward with a steady step and wore a black coat. Even his body had become thin during these past few days. Joseph suddenly fainted and fell to the ground. There was no one else in the desert to help him. Someone should be come there to save his life. Otherwise, he would surely die. He even put his life in danger because of his excessive greed. Also, Joseph's wife still dreams of Joseph coming home with the treasure. She doesn't care about Joseph at all.

The End .... ️
