Greedy matching means take as many characters as you can while still satisfying 
the condition, i.e. find the longest match.
Lazy matching means take the first match you find, i.e. find the shortest.

In the form of regular expressions, we have:
 * greedy = /\*.+\*/
 * lazy = /\*.+?\*/

The text is already correct.
