A man and his son were going to the market. While were walking, a country man passed and said, “ You fool, what a donkey for but ride upon?”

So the man put the boy on the donkey. But soon, some passersby said, “see that lazy young steer. He lets his father walk while he rides”.

So the man ordered his boy to get off and got on himself, but the passerby said, “Shame on that lazy old man, he lets his poor son walk, while he rides”

The man did not know what to do. Last, he took his boy on the donkey. Then the passerby said “Aren’t you ashamed of yourself for overloading the poor donkey?”

The man and the boy got off. They cut down a pole, tied the donkey’s feet to it and raised the pole to their shoulders. They arrived to a bridge when the donkey, getting one of its feet loose, kick all out and caused the boy to drop his end of the pole. In the struggle, the donkey fell over the bridge and then it was drowned.

Why did the boy get off from the donkey?

                In ancient times, the king placed a boulder on a roadway. Then he hid and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king’s wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it.

                Many loudly blamed the king for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything to get the big stone out of the way. Then a peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After lots of pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. As the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying on the road where the boulder had been.

                The purse contained a lot of gold coins and a note from the king indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway. The peasant learned what many others never understand.

The Old Man and the Durian Tree

In a very quite little village, lived an old man whose age was over 80 years old. He was planting a durian tree when a neighbor observed him. The neighbor asked the old man “ Do you expect to eat durian from that tree? The durian tree will take about 8 years to bear fruit.”

The old man rested on his spade and smiled. He said, “No, at my age I know I won’t. All my life I have been enjoying durians, but never from a tree I have planted  before. I wouldn’t have had durians if other men haven’t done what I’m doing now. I am just trying to pay the other men who have planted durians for me.” No wonder he looked so happy

We should give first and can get something in return. We will not only get what we want but will actually be really happy in the end, because we need to sow first before we can keep.
