A true servant

Image
A king had a huge number of slaves. One of them was very black. He was obedient to the king. So, the king liked him so much. One day the king went out on a camel. Some slaves walked in front of the king. Others went behind the king. The black slave rode on a horse by the side of his master – The King. The King had a box. There were pearls in it. On the way the box fell down in a narrow street. It broke into pieces. The pearls rolled on the ground. The king said to his slaves. “Go and take the pearls. I do not want them any longer," said the king. The slaves ran and gathered the pearls. They took those pearls. The black slave did not leave his place. He was by the side of his master. He guarded his master. He cared for the life of his master. He did not care for the master’s pearls. He was the true servant. The king observed the attitude of the servant and gave him many gifts.

There was a girl whose family was very rich. One day her father took her on a tour to the country where he aimed to show his daughter how poor people live. So they arrived at a farm of a very poor family. They spent some days there. On their return, the father asked his daughter, if she liked the tour. Oh, it was a nice tour, dad - the girl replied. Did you notice how poor people live? - the father asked. Yeah, I did. - said the girl. The father asked his daughter to tell in more detail about her impressions from their trip. Well…we have only one dog and they have four of them. In our garden there is a pool while they have a river that has no end. We've got expensive lanterns, but they have stars above their heads at night. We have the patio and they have the whole horizon….the daughter replied in delight. She further added…. We have only a small piece of land while they have the endless fields. We buy food, but they grow it. We have a high fence for protection of our property and

A glass of milk

  Once, there was a poor boy who made a living by selling many kinds of products from door to door. This was the way he earned money to pay for his school. One day, as he was walking from home to home as usual, he felt very hungry and weak. He felt that he couldn't walk even a few steps. He decided to ask for food at a home. He knocked on the door and was stunned to see a beautiful young girl open the door. With much hesitation, he asked the girl for a glass of water. The young girl understood his condition and offered him a huge glass of milk. With an astonished look, the boy drank the milk very slowly. "How much do I owe you for this milk?" he asked her. The girl replied, "I do not want any amount for this." The boy thanked the girl from the bottom of his heart and left the place. Years passed by. The young girl grew up. In her youth, unfortunately, she fell ill and was diagnosed with the rarest kind of nervous disorder. Many experienced doctors were baffled a

Minnu was a cute, lovable and sweet girl, she was six years old. She was an adorable kid as she always respected her elders. Minnu's parents loved her for her nice behaviour. One day, Minnu's mother took her for grocery shopping. As they passed the shops, Minnu noted a cute plastic pearl necklace in dazzling pink! She asked her mother to buy her the necklace. Her mother told her that it cost quite a few pennies. She asked her to do some chores, so that for every completed piece of work Minnu would get some money and she could buy the pink necklace. Minnu prepared a to-do list and assisted her mom with all the chores. Her mom was very happy, and she paid sufficient money to buy the pink necklace. Minnu happily purchased the necklace and wore it just everywhere, alltime, except while taking bath. Her mother said that her neck would turn pink and the pearls would lose their sheen if she wore it while bathing. But all other times, Minnu wore it, even while sleeping. Minnu's fat

The rope

  The night fell heavy on the heights of the mountains and the man saw nothing. There was zero visibility. the moon and the stars were covered with the clouds. When he was just a few feet below the top of the hill, he slipped and fell into the air, falling at heavy speed. He could see only black spots as he went down, and feel the terrible sensation of being sucked in by gravity. He kept falling, and in those moments of great fear, all the good and bad episodes of his life came to his mind. He was thinking now about how close death was getting, when all of a sudden he felt the rope tied to his waist pull him very hard. His body was hanging in the air. Only the rope was holding him. In that moment of stillness he had no choice other than to shout loudly, "Help me God." All of a sudden, a deep voice coming from the sky answered, "What do you want me to do?""Save me God." "Do you really think I can save you?" "Of course, I believe you can."

Proud of red rose

  One beautiful spring day a red rose blossomed in a forest. As the rose looked around, a pine tree nearby said, "What a Wonderful flower! I wish I was that lovely." Another tree said, "Dear pine, do not be sad. We cannot have everything. "The rose turned and remarked, "It seems that I am the most beautiful flower in this forest."A sunflower raised its yellow head and asked, "Why do you say that? In this forest there are many beautiful flowers. You are just one of them."The red rose replied, "I see everyone looking at me and praising me." Then the rose looked at a cactus and said, "Look at that ugly plant full of thorns! "The pine tree said, "Red rose, what kind of talk is this? Who can say what beauty is? You have thorns too. "The proud red rose looked angrily at the pine and said, "I thought you had good taste! You do not know what beauty is at all. You cannot compare my thorns to that of the cactus." &qu

In south of Spain there was a small village. The people of the village were very joyful. The children played under the shades of trees in the gardens of their home. A shepherd boy named Nasir stayed near the village with his father, mother and grandmother. Each morning he took his herd of goats up the hills to find a suitable place for them to graze. In the afternoon he returned with them to the village. Each night he heard a story from his grandmother. One of those days, as Nasir was watching his herd and playing his flute, he suddenly saw a wonderful light behind a flower bush. when he approached the bush, he saw a transparent and very wonderful crystal ball. The crystal ball was glittering as like as colorful rainbow. Nasir carefully took it in his hand and turned it around. With surprise, suddenly he heard a weak voice coming from the crystal ball. It said that he (Nasir) can make a wish and that will fulfill his wish. Nasir could not believe that he had actually heard a voice. Whe

  Once there lived an old man with his three sons in a village. The village was located in the vicinity of a  desert. He had 17 camels through which he used to earn a living. He used to rent out camels as a means of shipping in the desert. One day he passed away. he had left a will, leaving his assets for his three sons. The three sons read the will. While their father divided all the property he had into three equal parts, he had divided 17 camels in a different way. They were not shared equally among the three as 17 is an odd number and a prime number, which can not be divided. The old man stated that the eldest son will own half of the 17 camels, The middle one will get one third of these and the youngest one will get his share of his camels as one ninth. All of them were stunned and asked each other how to solve this problem. It is not possible to give a half of 17 camels. It is not possible also to give the share to others sons as per their father's wish. They spent many days
