In a village called Kosi, there lived four friends, who were robbers by profession and they were merciless with their victims and their hearts turned to stone while carrying on with their robberies.
One day One of the four friends located a rich village and they planned to rob the village at night.
They went at night to that village and created terror by killing many people and robbing them, they entered houses by force and took everything valuable they could get.
They got much gold, gold coins,silver coins and precious stones worth a huge fortune. They were very happy with their work and left the village and entered a forest.
In that forest was a huge banyan tree on which a yaksha used to live. These robbers went to that tree to take rest for the night. They kept the loot under the tree and wanted to share it equally and honestly.
One of the robbers suggested that it is better they eat some nice food and then distribute the loot, as they are very hungry after all the days work. So they sent one robber to fetch food from another village.
The robber left to get food for all of them and on the way he got an idea that why should i get only 1/4th share and why not everything and he purchased some poison and mixed in the food he got from the village.
Meanwhile his other three friends also made a plan to kill this friend when he gets the food so that they can share more loot, as one share will be less.
The robber who went to get the food was killed by the other three friends as soon as he came back. As they were very hungry, they decided to have the food and then share the loot.
As soon as they ate the food, they all died as their friend had poisoned the food before bringing it to them.
The yaksha on the tree had been witness to all these dealings of the robbers and he was laughing about the ways of this world.
First of all they were robbers, and they wanted to share the loot honestly and equally and they got greedy to get more and killed each other and the wealth was lying under the tree with no one to claim it.
so, the yaksha told the moral of the story to some wood cutters who passed by next day, the greed for wealth made these robbers to kill people and still they wanted to be honest with each other, how is it possible. it is not their nature.
The ultimate result of their dark deeds was death for everyone of them, Is it not true about the ways of this world.
Everyone is trying to cheat each other and ultimately death takes it all away. So much loss for getting this human form of life and wasting it away in useless pursuit of temporary things.
