The selfish stories

This is my presentation of two stories. They are about 2 selfish people. The titles of these stories are the magic prison and the blind man. They both learn lessons but one learns from his mistakes. Here is the magic prison story.

            The magic prison is about a young selfish prince who is trapped in a magic play house. When he becomes even more selfish the windows turn smaller and it turns to a dungeon. When he shows kindness to a little bird the windows get bigger and he becomes a little freer. After which he frees a bird knowing he himself is trapped. He then is released and rejoins his family

            The blind man is a story of a selfish man who finds a priest in the desert. The priest leads the man to a cave full of gold, telling him that in return the man will give the priest halve of his camels to carry some gold. The man then tells the priest little by little to give the man his money. Then he takes a cup full of ointment and asks what it does. He says if he puts on his left eye, he sees all treasures. On the right, he’ll be blind. He thinks the priest is lying and becomes blind. Since he was selfish he suffered the consequences.

            The prince in the magic prison says to be kind and you will be happy. If you’re cruel, you will be in a lot of sorrow. The blind man warns of the danger of greed. both teach the reader in unique ways. After reading this you should know not to be greedy
