Yertle the Turtle is a wonderful story for children about greed.
Yertle is the self-important king of the pond, who thinks he needs a taller throne to make himself bigger. He orders all of the other turtles in the pond stand on each other's backs and he climbs on top of them all, higher and higher, even though the turtles complain about being hungry and tired, he stands on their backs claiming to be the ruler of all that he sees.
Although... a ruler who's only strategy to become great is to stand on the backs of others can't possible last long, can he?
Read and see!
