A greedy sheep saw a basket full of corn. It wanted to eat it all. So he made a small hole and squeezed it's head through that hole. He ate almost half of the corn. He felt satisfied and was very happy.

Now he wanted to remove his head. He tried to remove the head through the small hole. and could not succeed. His belly was full to an extent; food was stored in his throat and mouth. He tried again and again.

The sheep started crying. A goat was passing by and heard the sheep's cry and asked, "My friend, why are you crying?"
The greedy sheep said friend, "I managed to get a small hole to put my head inside this big basket but now am trying to pull it out from it, but I'm not able to do that."
The goat advises the sheep by saying, "Friend, it is because you ate the corn too much. That is why. Wait when your belly shrinks and the one in your throat and mouth shift to that place." And laughed and went away.

The greedy sheep fell asleep with his head in the basket. The following morning, his belly had shrunk. But he tried eating more of the corn again. Forgetting about the suffering he had caused, he set about getting his head out of the basket. He then decided to eat more of the corn, and his belly was really big again.

After eating again, the sheep now remembered that they had to escape from the basket. But obviously, he could not. So he thought, "Oh! Now I will go out tomorrow."

The Lion was the next passing by. He saw the sheep with his head in the basket. He went and caught the sheep and ate him up.

Let's all choose not to be greedy because, greedness never yield good results.

My regards is giving to @oppongk and @nattybongo
