Greedy boy

 Sam and tom were identical twins. They were so identical that even their mother found it difficult to distinguish one from the other at least during their initial days on earth. However they were very different from each other when it came to everything other than their appearance. Sam had no friend, while Tom had many friends. Sam loved sweet but Tom loved spicy food. Sam was mommy's pet and Tom was daddy's pet. While Sam was generous an selfless, Tom was greedy and selfish. As Sam and Tom grew up, their father wanted to share his fortune equally between them. However, Tom did not agree and argued that whoever proved to be more intelligent and strong would have to get a bigger share of the wealth. Sam agreed. Their father decided to organized a competition between the two. He asked the two sons to walk as long as they could and return home before sunset. The wealth would be divided in proportion to the distance covered. As a rule of the competition, they were not permitted to carry a watch to keep track of the time. The following day Sam and Tom set out to walk. It was a rather sunny day. Sam walk slowly and steadily but Tom walk very fast, he wanted to get a big part of share of his father's wealth. Sam knew that it would be ideal to walk as far as possible till noon and start for home at noon as it would take the same amount of time to walk back for home at noon so as reach home on time. However, Tom with his greed to earn more wealth did not attempt to return home even after mid-noon. He walk twice as long as Sam and thought he would still be able to return home before sunset. He hurried back when he saw the sun turn orange. Unfortunately, he could not even make it half way of home as the sun started to set. Slowly darkness engulfed his path and he had to drag his feet back home. He had lost the race only because of his greed. Greed leads to loss
