The Proud Sculptor

Shyam was a famous sculptor. His work was so good that they looked like real people. One day Shyam dreamt that after 15 days, the angel of Death would come to take him away.
       Shyam was worried. Suddenly he thought about an idea. Shyam made nine statues of himself. On the 15th day he heard the angle of death arriving. He stood between the statues.

The angel could not see him and was surprise to see ten Shyams instead of one. He rushed back to the God of death and
told him about it.
As the God of death arrived , Shyam stood without moving. The God of death was puzzled. But he thought for a moment and said,"Shyam, these statues are good. But they would have been perfect without this one mistakes."
               Shyam was so proud of his work that he could not hear about any mistake. He immediately came out and asked, "What is the mistakes?" 

The God of death immediately caught him and said,

"Here! The statues are perfect but your pride has marked your end."
