Greed (shortest short story ever)


VINA

Recommended Posts

That same night, I wrote my first short story. It

took me thirty minutes. It was a dark little tale

about a man who found a magic cup and learned

that if he wept into the cup, his tears turned into

pearls. But even though he had always been poor,

he was a happy man and rarely shed a tear. So

he found ways to make himself sad so that his

tears could make him rich. As the pearls piled up,

so did his greed grow. The story ended with the

man sitting on a mountain of pearls, knife in

hand, weeping helplessly into the cup with his

beloved wife's slain body in his arms.

Drawn From

Khaled Hosseini , The Kite Runner
