Once upon a time, there were two enchanting islands located in the midst of the vast ocean, unreachable to anyone but those who knew the way. Mino, a young and curious boy, lived on one of these islands. He loved nothing more than food, but despite his constant eating, he was never satisfied, and life was a struggle as he had to journey miles every day to search for food and water.

One day, while passing the magical bridge that connected the two islands, Mino heard a gentle voice calling out from the other side. With intrigue and wonder in his heart, he asked, "Who's there?" The voice replied, "Hello Mino, I'm Tim. Where are you going?"

"I'm searching for food," Mino replied.

"Food?" exclaimed Tim. "We have all the food we could ever need here! The sweetest berries and honey that never run out, and enough food to last us through the whole winter. You don't have to struggle like this every day."

Mino couldn't believe what he was hearing. He had never heard of such abundance, and his curiosity was piqued. He asked, "Can I come and see it for myself?"

Without hesitation, Tim answered, "Of course, just cross the bridge and join us."

Mino thought about it for a moment and then decided to take the leap. He had nothing to lose and everything to gain. So, with a brave heart, he began his journey across the magical bridge.

As he walked, the other island came into focus, and Mino saw how truly beautiful it was. He was filled with excitement and anticipation for what lay ahead. When he finally reached the other side, Tim was waiting for him with open arms.

But as Mino looked around, he noticed that the island was much smaller than his own, with only a few trees that bore fruit and flowers that made honey. It wouldn't last a month, let alone a season. Disappointment and heartache washed over him, and tears streamed down his face. He cried out in frustration, "Why did I trust you, Tim? I should have never come here!"

Unable to return home, Mino spent the rest of his days regretting the decision he had made. He learned the hard way that sometimes, what we think we want isn't always what we need. And sometimes, it's best to be content with what we have and cherish it.
