Retell The Story - The Half-Eaten Mountain

A deity wants to find a decent human being to be his disciple. He wants to find a person who was not greed, so he disguised as a vendor and turned a mountain into millions of buns. Then he erected a sign that said, “one cent for one bun: two cents for all you can eat.” People passed by and saw the sign, they though the vendor must mad a mistake or he was a plain moron. More and more people came to the vendor, and soon the mountain of buns was covered with people. From an 80-year-old grandpa to a 1-year-old baby who could barely walk, everyone was gulping, gathering, holding, shoveling, squeezing, and wrapping buns. The mountain of buns was soon dented like a giant had bitten into it, and got bigger and bigger. The vendor’s heart sank just as the sun was setting. He said he just want to have a taste of the buns. Finally, a deity found a decent human. With a wave of his hand, he turned the mountain of buns back into a mountain and taking the boy’s hand and stepped onto the cloud. They finally disappeared into the starry Milky Way.
