All That Glitters Is Not Gold



Listen to the Story, then Read & Answer. 

 

Once upon a time, in a bustling kingdom, there lived a humble cobbler named Thomas. Despite his meager earnings, Thomas was content with his simple life. One day, a wealthy merchant passed through the town, adorned in lavish attire and carrying bags of gold. Seeing the merchant's opulence, Thomas couldn't help but feel envious.

Determined to attain wealth and luxury, Thomas abandoned his cobbler's shop and set off on a journey in search of riches. Along the way, he encountered many opportunities that seemed promising, but each time he was disappointed. He worked for greedy merchants who exploited him, invested in schemes that failed, and even gambled away what little money he had left.

Exhausted and penniless, Thomas eventually returned to his hometown, realizing that true wealth was not found in material possessions but in the simple joys of life—like the warmth of friendship, the satisfaction of honest work, and the love of family.

From then on, Thomas embraced his role as a cobbler with gratitude, cherishing the lessons he had learned. And though he may not have possessed gold, his heart was richer for having discovered the true treasures of life.
