THE BIG WEN ON THE FACE
There once lived an old man who had a big wen on his face.

One day, he lost his way through the deep forest. He needed to spend a night inside of an old abolished house. In order to overcome his fear, he sang songs in a loud voice. Trolls in the forest appreciated his beautiful songs and asked where they were coming from. They assumed the big wen was a music bag and snatched it, trading it for a large sum of money. So the old man ended up getting rid of his wen from his face and becoming very rich.

In the next village, there was another old man who also had a wen on his face. But this old man was rich already, he was also very greedy. He decided to go into the forest to the old abolished house to trick the trolls into stealing his wen and leaving him with a bag of money. But in his case, the trolls became very angry when they realized that they were tricked. So they attached another wen onto the greedy man's face.

This story teaches us that excessive greediness does more harm than good.
