 The Greedy Mother and Her Son 

There was a boy who lived with his mother. One day he stole his friend's book.  The mother was very pleased with her son after seeing the book. Next time, he stole a beautiful watch and showed it to his mother.  The mother saw the costly watch and said, "How intelligent you are ! What an easy way to get such nice things!" The boy felt very much encouraged. So, for the third time he stole a purse of money. His mother was very happy. She said, "O, how soon we will get rich now !" The boy grew up and became a robber. But one day he was caught. He was brought before a judge and sentenced to death. On the day of the execution, he wanted to see his mother.   His prayer was granted. He saw his mother and fell on her.  He grabbed his right ear between his teeth and bit it.  The boy was asked why he did so. He said, "She encouraged me to commit crimes. She never asked me not to steal. She is the cause of my sad end." 

The story teaches us not to encourage bad habits. One bad habit leads to another. So, the very first bad habit should be killed.
