Once in the city of Benares (Kasi) Lord Buddha born as a rich merchant.He was about to go for a trade with costly wares of Benares having five hundred carts.In that city an another foolish merchant also lived.Foolish merchant decided to go first since he thought it is beneficial to go first because taking benifit of resources of earth first as green grass for camels and water etc.But Bodhisatta thought to go after most beneficial as cart will levelled the road and new soft green grass will be present for camels.
On going first after some time foolish merchant was encounter with goblins they distracted him and through away all his water with cart loaded.After some time all their food and water finished and in night goblins attacked them all died.If he had Teachings Of Lord Buddha nothing bad would happened to him.
But having virtues of Lord Buddha Teachings when Bodhisatta good merchant went forward goblin also tried to distract him but he not believed him and did not threw any water or food loaded hearing magical words of goblin.When he went went further he saw the bodies of all people and animals of foolish merchant.
So it is said true that folly kills.Hence Teachings of Lord Buddha suggest to become wise .
