Theme: The use of wealth


Wealth and its companions


In a kingdom very close to here, there was a character called Wealth.

She was beautiful, extravagant, luxurious, engaging... she caught a lot of attention and many
people wanted to have her around.
In fact, the most beloved character of all in that kingdom was Happiness. Everyone wanted her company, but Happiness was seen very rarely. She was delicate, sensitive,

didn't frequent any environment because she didn't like wrong things.

As Wealth was also fun, some people thought that she could be a friend of Happiness and believed that, calling one, the other would come too. But that didn't always happen.

In fact, most of the times, what happened was that Wealth attracted the presence of Pride, rather than Happiness. Pride adored Wealth and always tried to get in where she was.

But the Pride was terrible! He was one of the biggest troublemakers in that kingdom.

When he got together with his best friend, Selfishness, they did so many bad things, that afterwards it took a lot of work to fix everything.

Often, when Wealth entered someone's house, without much delay, Pride would ring the bell, wishing to enter too. If the person allowed it, then Selfishness would also enter and the three of them, inside, would start a wild party, which always ended badly.

Most people didn't know well these characters that inhabited that kingdom. They didn't quite understand how they affected their lives. Therefore, they accepted the presence of Pride and Selfishness, for a while, until they realized that they were not good company for anyone.

Wealth wasn't bad, it was just very influential. She only messed things up when she was encouraged by those two troublemakers.

In fact, Wealth was sometimes very good. She could help, build, educate, save, relieve, and do amazing things. But, for that, she needed to be in the company of other characters, who were very friendly with each other, Love and Humility.

Love and Humility were the opposite of Pride and Selfishness. If those last ones only knew how to get in the way, the first ones always did good.

When a person received Wealth in his house and managed to close the door to Pride and Selfishness, who arrived at that house, right after were Love and Humility and the three of them, inside, began to make so many beautiful things that after a while they attracted the presence - do you know whose? - of Happiness!

Gradually, the people who already had Wealth began to realize how things worked and everyone left Pride and Selfishness far away and called their friends Love and Humility to join her.

And so, Wealth always started to do good things and, with Happiness always around, the whole kingdom became very happy.
