Greed has destroyed many families and many societies. As Laos opens to more tourism, both the positive and negative influences of money are making themselves felt. This age-old fable, about a family that wants too much, too soon, carries a lesson as important today as when it was written.
retold by Sonesoulilat Vongsouline, illustrated by Bounpasong Phannavin
