1. There is a woman who is so old but she still has great love for money. Whenever she sees a rich person passing by, she would wish: “I wish I could be as rich as them. I wish to have their necklace, I wish to have their money!”. Of course with the poor she doesn’t pay any attention and always scorn them.
2. The woman has some children and they are all grown up. Although they are all rich and give her much to have a very good life, she still wants more. She spends hours praying for Buddha to give her much more money.
3. One day when she is praying there is a genie appears. The genie talks to her: “Hello! I am the agent of Buddha. Buddha hears your pray all the day and he sends me to meet you to see what I could help.”

7. The genie smiles: “They have these things because they work very hard and they deserve it. Each one has their own life and the most important thing is that you need to satisfy with your situation. If you insist on having too much, I am not sure that your life is as happy as you think.”
8. The old woman still begs the genie to fulfil her wishes: “I don’t care about the result of being so rich.” The genie smiles again: “That’s all right. If you insist on being like that, I can help you. Here is a magic stick. Keep it and if you wish to have anything from the other, you will have it.”
