High up in a leafy mango tree, there lived a green iguana who enjoyed the juicy fruits hanging from the branches.

Every morning, he awoke to the chirping of birds and the intoxicating aroma of ripe mangoes.

One day, as she savoured her delicious snack, a greedy fox watched her from afar.

-How selfish that iguana is! She should share her delicacy," exclaimed the fox.

Then he began to shake the branch vigorously, sending a shower of mangoes crashing to the ground.

The iguana, alarmed, tried to stop it, but the fox didn't stop until all the fruit had fallen.

Satisfied, the fox set off to enjoy his booty, but soon realised that the mangoes were overripe and had been ruined when they fell.

Then, he understood the lesson: blind greed leads to the loss of what we value most.

From that day on, the iguana was able to savour his mangoes in peace, while the fox learned to appreciate what he had.
