    In the mansion lived a wealthy and greedy man. He was known for taking others' rights without remorse.

    The town people lived in fear of the greedy man. They were often left with nothing due to his unjust ways.

    One day, the greedy man woke up with lumps all over his body. They grew bigger and more painful each day.

    Word spread about the man's condition. The town people, who were often victims of his greed, showed no sympathy.

    Despite being treated badly by the man, the humble gardener decided to help him. He visited the mansion daily.

    With patience and kindness, the gardener cared for the man. He fed him, cleaned him, and nursed his wounds.

    Under the gardener's care, the man started to heal. His lumps began to shrink, and his pain lessened.

    The man then realized his mistakes. He felt regret for his previous actions and appreciated the gardener's kindness.
