The Magic Antelope spun gold wherever he ran in the forest. The greedy king captured him and demanded he continue to produce gold endlessly. The antelope agreed, but told the king if he asked him to stop, the gold would turn to clay.
The king laughed, since he knew he could never have too much gold. The antelope started to produce it, so much so that it piled over the king's head until he feared he would suffocate. He yelled "stop" and as forewarned, it all turned to clay.
A great moral lesson about greed, and like I said, I never forgot it (probably last saw it around 1960).
