Please read the story and do two things:

Once there lived a fool in a village. He used to work in his field everyday. One day he became very sad to see that somebody was eating away his crops. This might be a naughty cow. Then he planned to come at night and hid himself in the field to see who was eating away all the crops.
Next night he saw a large cow coming to his field when he was hiding in the field. He caught the tail of the cow. The cow tried to escape and started to fly as it could fly. The fool holded it tightly and went with the cow. The cow went to the king of the angels' home. The fool then complained to the king about his cow. The king gave him a golden gourd as a compensation. The fool became happy and came back home.
He became rich by selling the golden gourd and started to live happily. But, the neighbour of the fool was very greedy. He wanted to be rich too. He convinced the fool to tell him the secret of getting golden gourd. The fool told him that. Then they planned to go to the king's palace by catching the cow's tail again. The next night the full family of the fool and the greedy man came to the field and hid themselves.
The cow came again and the fool man caught the tail. When it started to fly, the greedy man hold the legs of the fool man. The rest of the people also followed them and holded one another's legs. The cow flew to the top of the sky. The greedy man couldn't wait for long. He asked the fool about the golden gourd again. The fool assured him well. He asked again, "How large is the largest one in the palace of king? " The fool became eager to show it. He let go his hand and show the size of the largest gourd. By this everybody fell down from the sky and became injured or dead. They got their punishment of greed.
