Morals of this story :
In life, not everything that looks good is good, bad is bad. But it could be reversed although it looks beautiful, because the neighbor's yard that looks green is not necessarily right for us. And most importantly, good or bad appearance, should not be used as the only benchmarks. Also as when we just get enjoyment, do not forget and too desired, so we do not forget what should to do next.
