Once upon a time, in a wealthy village, the richest man decided to protect his treasure from bandits. He buried a huge lump of gold in a nearby rice field.
Years later, the village had fallen into poverty, and the field lay abandoned. A poor farmer, while plowing the land, struck the long-forgotten gold with his plow. At first, he mistook it for a hard tree root, but upon uncovering it, he saw its brilliant shine. Fearing daylight discovery, he covered it and waited for nightfall.
Returning at midnight, he tried to lift and drag the gold, but it was immovable. Frustrated by his inability to take the treasure, he sat down to think. He realized the solution was to break the lump into four smaller pieces.
He planned wisely: "One piece for daily needs, one for savings, one to invest in my farm, and the last for charity and good deeds." With a calm mind, he divided the gold and carried it home in four trips.
Afterwards, he lived happily.
The moral is: "Don't bite off more than you can chew."
