WHERE DOES IT END?

There is a story about a wealthy farmer who
was once offered all the land he could walk on in
a day, provided he came back by sundown to the
point where he started. To get a new start, early
the next morning the farmer started covering
ground quickly because he wanted to get as
much land as he could. Even though he was
tired, he kept going all afternoon because he
didn't want to miss this once in a lifetime
opportunity to gain more wealth.

Late in the afternoon he realized the condition
he had to fulfill to get the land was to get back
to the starting point by sundown. His greed had
gotten him far enough. He started his return
journey, keeping an eye on how close he was to
sundown. The closer it got to sundown, the
faster he ran. He was exhausted, out of breath
and pushed himself beyond the point of
endurance. He collapsed upon reaching the
starting point and died. He did make it before
sundown. He was buried and all the land he
needed was a small plot.
There is a lot of truth in this story and a lesson
to be learned. Whether the farmer was wealthy
or not, any greedy person would have ended the
same way.
