Being greedy never pays
**Part 1: A Tragic Beginning**
**Emma:** (tearfully) Grandma, where are Mom and Dad? Why aren't they coming back?
**Grandma:** (heartbroken) Oh, my dear Emma. They... they won't be coming back, sweetheart. They've gone to a better place.
---
**Emma:** (crying) But I want them here with us, Grandma. I miss them so much.
**Grandma:** (embracing Emma) I know, my dear. I miss them too. But we have each other, and we'll get through this together.
---
**Part 2: A Humble Life**
**Emma:** (admiring a toy in a store window) Grandma, can I have that doll? It's so pretty.
**Grandma:** (sadly) I'm sorry, Emma. We can't afford it right now.
**Emma:** (disappointed) Oh, okay. Maybe someday.
---
**Emma:** (sitting at the dinner table with Grandma, staring at their simple meal) Grandma, why don't we have fancy dinners like the ones we see in movies?
**Grandma:** (smiling) Because, my dear, what matters is not what we have but who we have. As long as we're together, we have everything we need.
---
**Part 3: Temptation**
**Emma:** (walking home from school, overhearing classmates talk about their expensive gadgets) Grandma, can I get a phone like my friends have? They say I'm missing out on so much.
**Grandma:** (gently) Emma, we can't afford luxuries like that. But we have each other, and that's more important than any gadget.
---
**Emma:** (finding a wallet on the ground) Look, Grandma, I found a wallet. It's full of money!
**Grandma:** (concerned) Emma, we need to return it to its owner. It's the right thing to do.
**Emma:** (hesitant) But Grandma, what if we kept it? We could buy so many things we've always wanted.
---
**Part 4: Consequences**
**Emma:** (enjoying the newfound wealth, buying expensive toys and clothes) Grandma, look at all the things we have now! Isn't it amazing?
**Grandma:** (worried) Emma, I'm afraid we've made a mistake. This money doesn't belong to us, and we need to return it.
**Emma:** (stubbornly) No, Grandma! We deserve this. We've been poor for too long. We finally have what we deserve.
---
**Emma:** (seeing Grandma's health deteriorate from stress) Grandma, what's wrong? You don't look well.
**Grandma:** (weakly) Emma, I fear we've brought trouble upon ourselves. The money... it's cursed.
---
**Part 5: Redemption**
**Emma:** (regretful, returning the wallet to its owner) I'm sorry, Grandma. I was wrong. I thought being rich would make us happy, but it only brought us pain.
**Grandma:** (smiling weakly) It's okay, my dear. We all make mistakes. What matters is that we learn from them.
---
**Emma:** (embracing Grandma, tears streaming down her face) I love you, Grandma. I'm sorry for being greedy.
**Grandma:** (hugging Emma tightly) I love you too, Emma. And I forgive you. Let's cherish what we have – each other's love and support. That's all we need to be truly happy.
**Emma:** (tearfully) Grandma, where are Mom and Dad? Why aren't they coming back?
**Grandma:** (heartbroken) Oh, my dear Emma. They... they won't be coming back, sweetheart. They've gone to a better place.
