Jane and Lily used to be very good friends infact they are like sisters, everyone would always admire them whenever they walk through the neighborhood wishing to be like them. They were so adorable, they love each other so much that no amount of words could break them apart. They are both so beautiful, of average height, light in complexion and has nice shapes.

They both live in the same neighborhood almost beside each other's house and both work in the same company. They have always been like that right from when they were kids, they both attended the same school all their life even when they did a second degree in the university. That's the reason why it was so hard to break the two apart.

The only thing that differentiate the both of them is that one of them had a boyfriend while the other does not. Jane had always had a relationship right from their college days but she broke up with the guy after she graduated from the university to date a rich guy. Her relationship was going on well and she seems happy with guys level of wealth not until Lily met a more richer guy who loves her so much and their love life rumor isn't fading away anytime soon.

Immediately Jane realised that Lily's boyfriend is way more richer than her boyfriend because Lily's boyfriend bought Lily a very nice and fancy car but her own boyfriend couldn't afford it so he bought her a very small car, she started behaving in a bad way towards her own boyfriend. She would call him series of bad names, she had quickly forgotten how the guy used to buy her so many beautiful things without hesitation, he would make sure he gets her whatsoever thing she needs.

All the love Jane shared with her boyfriend suddenly became hate just in the twinkle of an eye all because of greed and covetousness. She now wanted Lily's boyfriend by all means, she started seducing him so he can fall for her but he didn't even take a glance at her twice. Jane started to turn her back against her childhood friend, she would cook up lies against Lily in the presence of her husband so he could start hating her and dumb her afterwards but no matter how much she tried, she didn't get Lily's boyfriend into hating her.

Lily and Jane started quarrelling because Lily found out every of Jane's act and they became enemies. Lily later got married to her boyfriend while Jane's boyfriend quitted their relationship because of Jane's recent bad behavior. She started to regret all her action but it was too late for her to out things back into place.

Lessons learnt

Do not always let greed and covetousness control our actions, the truth is we are humans so we are bound to want something better but not to be greedy. We should always be satisfied with whatsoever we have and we should not let other people's achievements of properties get to us.

Greed and covetousness are the children of lack of contentment. And the result those two bring are devastating, heartbreaking and long lasting

Either way, greed destroys everything, not only friendships, even sibling relationships can be destroyed because of greed

This story reminded me of the Brazilian TV series I used to watch. I was a little kid and I remember every morning an episode of one of these shows was televised. The name of the protagonist of the series was Mariana. She was in love with the owner of the house where she worked as a maid. Mariana was a benevolent character, just like in the classic novels. Oh, it was such a boring series :)
