LETTER OF DIVORCE|a motivational story

CHECK OUT DIS DIVORCE LETTER
Dear Husband,
I'm writing you this letter to tell
you that I'm leaving you for
good.I've been a good woman to
you for seven years and I have
nothing to show for it. These last
two weeks have been hell. Your
boss called to tell me that you
had quit your job today and that
was the last straw. Last week,
you came home and didn't notice
that I had gotte...n my hair and
nails done, cooked your favorite
meal and even wore a brand new
negligee. You came home and ate
in two minutes, and went
straight to sleep after watching
the game. You don't tell me you
love me any more, you don't
touch me or anything. Either
you're cheating or you don't love
me anymore, whatever the case
is,I'm gone.PLS.If you're trying to
find me, don't. Your BROTHER
and I are moving away to West
Virginia together! Have a great
life! > Your EX-
Wife*******************************************
**********************************************
**
Dear Ex-Wife Nothing has made
my day more than receiving your
letter. It's truethat you and I
have been married for seven
years, although a good woman is
a far cry from what you've been.
I watch sports so much to try to
drown out your constant
nagging. Too bad that doesn't
work. I did notice when you cut
off all of your hair last week, the
first thing that came to mind
was"You look just like a man!"
My mother raised me to notsay
anything if you can't say
anything nice. When you cooked
my favorite meal, you must have
gotten me confused with MY
BROTHER, because I stopped
eating pork seven years ago. I
went to sleep on you when you
had on that new negligee
because the price tag was still on
it. I prayed that it was a
coincidence that my brother had
just borrowed fifty dollars from
me that morning and your
negligee was $49.99. After all of
this, I still loved you and felt that
we could work it out.So when I
discovered that I had hit the
lotto for ten million dollars, I quit
my job and bought us two
tickets to Jamaica. But when I
got home you were gone.
Everything happens for a reason I
guess. I hope you have the
fulfilling life you always wanted.
My lawyer said with your letter
that you wrote, you won't get a
dime from me. So take care.
Signed..Rich As Heaven and
Free!....hmmmm? ===========

A TOUCHING STORY|THE FAITHFUL DOG AND THE NURSING MOTHER

A dog was so faithful that the
woman could leave her baby
with it and go out to attend
other matters. She always
returned to find the child
soundly asleep with the dog
faithfully watching over him. One
day something tragic happened.
The woman as usual, left the
baby in the "hands" of this
faithful dog and went out
shopping. When she returned,
she discovered rather a nasty
scene, there was a total mess.
The baby's cot was dismantled,
his nappies & clothes torn to
shreds with blood stains all over
the bedroom where she left the
child & the dog. Shocked, the
woman wailed as she began
looking for the baby.
All of a sudden, she saw the
faithful dog emerging from
under the bed. It was covered
with blood and licking it's mouth
as if it had just finished a
delicious meal. The woman got
angry and assumed that the dog
had devoured her baby. Without
much thought she beat the dog
with a wood to death. But as she
continued searching for
the"remains" of her child, she
beheld another scene. Close to
the bed was the baby who,
although lying bare floor, was
safe & under the bed where the
body of a snake was torn to
pieces in what had been a fierce
battle between the snake and the
dog which was now dead.
Then reality dawned on d woman
who now began to understand
what took place in her absence.
The dog fought to protect the
baby from the ravenous snake. It
was too late for her now to make
amends because in her
impatience and anger,she had
killed the faithful dog. How often
have we misjudged people and
torn them to shreds with harsh
words and deeds before we have
had time to evaluate the
situation?.


This is called SIN OF
PRESUMPTION Presuming things
our way without taking the
trouble to find out exactly what
the situation really is. Little
patience can drastically reduce
major life long mistakes. Who
Are You misjudging right now?.
Don't think what you think
others are thinking, Take time to
get the whole truth.

THIRTY YEARS OLD SON

At last, the train started to move. Filled with a large number of people of various age groups, young, old, college girls, business men and all others, everyone sat close to someone.
An old man was sitting close to
Near the window, seated a old
man with is 30 year old son. As
the
train moves on, the son is overwhelmed with great joy, he was thrilled with the outside scenery. "Wow! Daddy, see the green trees, they seemed to be moving away from us, It's beautiful outside there"
This kind of behaviour is not expected from a 30 years old individual, infact, it is strange, everyone in the train got irritated by his childish acts and almost everybody began muttering something to himself or herself... Jane particularly, remarked loudly, "This guy is a crack, a disgrace and not sociable" The old man heard this but held his peace.

Not so long, it started to rain outside. The 30 year old son filled with joy, exclaimed "oh! The rain is beautiful!" Jane, most irritated of all, with rain drops splashing over her through the open window remarked harshly again, "Can't you see it's raining? You this foolish old man, if your son is mentally retarded, why not take him to a mental asylum and stop disturbing public peace"
The old man at first hesitated, then replied in a low tone, "We are on our way back from the hospital, my son has been blind from birth, he got discharged this morning, he just got his vision last week, and so, all these works of nature are new to his eyes, please forgive us for any inconvenience we might have caused you "

tHE PAINFUL PART OF MOTHERHOOD

A poor couple who lived in a
small village in Pakistan. They
had only one son. Gave him
the best education. Son.
graduated as an Engineer in
the nearby city. Eventually,
got married to a rich girl.
Initially, they lived with his
parents in the village. Soon
the wife got tired of village
life and persuaded the
husband to move to the city
leaving the old parents in the
village. As time went the
husband seen an advert in
the newspaper about a
vacancy in Jeddah. He was
successful and lived in Jeddah
for years with his wife.
Regularly he used to send
money to parents. Eventually
with time he stopped and
forgot about his parents ever
existed. Every year he made
Hajj and immediately after
that he used to see someone
telling him in a dream that his
Hajj is not accepted. One day
he related story to a pious
Aalim who advised him to go
back to Pakistan to visit his
parents. The man flew to
Pakistan and reached the
boundary of the village.
Everything had changed. He
could not find his house. He
asked a small boy about the
whereabouts of so and so.
The little boy directed the
man to a house and said: "In
this house lives an old blind
lady who lost her husband a
few months ago. She has a
son who migrated to Saudi
Arabia years back and never
came back again. What an
unfortunate man?" Son
enters the home and finds his
mother on the bed. He tip-
toed as not to wake her up.
He hears the mother
whispering or mumbling
something. He gets closer to
hear her voice. This is what
the mother was saying: "Ya
Allah ! I am now very old and
blind. My husband just died.
There is NO MAHRAM to lower
me in my grave when I die. So
please send my son to fullfill
my last wish. " This is the
ending of a story where the
DUA of a mother is accepted.
A human body can bear only
45 del (unit) of pain. But at
the time of giving birth,a
mother feels upto 57 del
(unit) of pain. This is similar
to 20 BONES GETTING
FRACTURED, all at the same
time!!
LOVE YOUR MOTHER WITH
EVERY RESOURCE IN YOUR LIFE,
EVEN WITH YOUR WIFE.

    wHEN THE WORST HAPPENs

    The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him, and every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming. Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from the elements and to store his few possessions. But then one day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, the smoke rolling up to the sky. The worst had happened; everything was lost. He was stunned with grief and anger. "God, how could you do this to me!", he cried. Early the next day, however, he was awakened by the sound of a ship that was approaching the island. It had come to rescue him. "How did you know I was here?", asked the weary man of his rescuers. "We saw your smoke signal," they replied.


    mESSAGE OF THE STORy
    It is easy to get discouraged when things are going badly. But we shouldn't lose heart, because God is at work in our lives, even in the midst of pain and suffering. Remember, next time your little hut is burning to the ground--it just may be a smoke signal that summons The Grace of God.

    oNE POUND MEASURe

    There was a farmer who sold a pound of butter to the baker. One day the baker decides to weigh the butter to see if he was getting a pound or not and found that he was not. This angered him and he took the farmer to court. The judge asked the farmer if he was using any measure. The farmer replied, your Honour, "I am primitive. I don't have a proper measure, but I do have a scale" The judge asked, "then how do you weigh the butter?" The farmer replied, "your honour, long before the baker started buying butter from me, I have been buying a pound loaf of bread from him. Every day, when the baker brings the bread, I put it on the scale and give him the same weight in butter. If anyone is to be blamed. It is the baker.

    THE WOODEN BOWL

    A frail old man went to live
    with his son, daughter-in-law,
    and a four-year grandson. The
    old man's hands trembled, his
    eyesight was blurred, and his
    step faltered.
    While the family ate
    together at the table, the
    elderly grandfather's shaky
    hands and failing sight made
    eating difficult. Rice rolled
    off his spoon onto the floor.
    When he grasped the glass,
    milk spilled on the tablecloth.
    The son and daughter-in-law
    became irritated with the
    mess. "We must do something
    about Grandfather," said the
    son. "I've had enough of his
    spilled milk, noisy eating and
    food on the floor." So the
    husband and wife set a small
    table in the corner. There,
    Grandfather ate alone while
    the rest of the family enjoyed
    dinner and since Grandfather had
    broken a dish or two, his food
    was served in a wooden bowl.
    When the family glanced in
    Grandfather's direction,
    sometimes he had a tear in his
    eye as he sat alone. Still, the
    only words the couple had for
    him were sharp admonitions
    wheneva he dropped a fork or
    spilled food.
    The four-year-old watched it
    all in silence. One evening
    before supper, the father
    noticed his son playing with
    wood scraps on the floor. He
    asked the child sweetly,
    "What are you making?" Just
    as sweetly, the boy
    responded, "Oh I am making a
    little bowl for you and Mama
    to eat your food from when I
    grow up." The four-year-old
    smiled and went back to
    work.
    The words so struck the
    parents that they were
    speechless. Then tears
    started to stream down their
    cheeks. Though no word was
    spoken, both knew what must
    be done. That evening the
    husband took Grandfather's
    hand and gently led him back
    to the family table. For the
    remainder of his days he ate
    every meal with the family.
    And for some reason, neither
    husband nor wife seemed to
    care any longer when a fork
    was dropped, milk spilled, or
    the tablecloth soiled.
    Note: Children are remarkably
    perceptive. Their eyes ever
    observe, their ears ever listen,
    and their minds ever process
    the messages they absorb. If
    they see us patiently provide
    a happy home atmosphere for
    family members, they will
    imitate that attitude for the
    rest of their lives. The wise
    parent realizes that every day
    the building blocks are being
    laid for the child's future.
    Let's be wise builders and
    role models.
    Say this prayer with me.....
    Lord, we ask not that you
    move the mountains, but that
    You give us the strength to
    climb.......
    "Life is about people
    connecting with people, and
    making a positive difference"
    Take care of yourself, and
    those you love....today, and
    everyday!"

    cYCLE OF EVIl [a moral story]

    There was once a
    king who was so
    cruel and unjust
    that his subjects
    yearned for his
    death or
    dethronement.
    However, one day
    he surprised them
    all by announcing that he had
    decided to turn over a new leaf.
    “No more cruelty, no more
    injustice,” he promised, and he
    was as good as his word. He
    became known as the ‘Gentle
    Monarch’.
    Months after his transformation
    one of his ministers plucked up
    enough courage to ask him
    what had brought about his
    change of heart, and the king
    answered:
    “As I was galloping through
    my forests I caught sight of a
    fox being chased by a hound.
    The fox escaped into his hole
    but not before the hound had
    bitten into its leg and lamed it
    for life. Later I rode into a village
    and saw the same hound there.
    It was barking at a man. Even as
    I watched, the man picked up a
    huge stone and flung it at the
    dog, breaking its leg. The man
    had not gone far when he was
    kicked by a horse. His knee was
    shattered and he fell to the
    ground, disabled for life. The
    horse began to run but it fell
    into a hole and broke its leg.
    Reflecting on all that had
    happened, I thought: ‘Evil
    begets evil. If I continue in my
    evil ways, I will surely be
    overtaken by evil’. So I
    decided to change”.
    The minister went away
    convinced that the time was
    ripe to overthrow the king and
    seize the throne. Immersed in
    thought, he did not see the
    steps in front of him and fell,
    breaking his neck.

    oNE HUNDRED DOLLARs [a motivational story]

    One night, a man came home from work
    late, tired and irritated only to find
    his 5-year old son waiting for
    him at the door.
    After a brief welcome, a short conversation came up...

    SON: "Daddy, may I ask you a
    question?"
    DAD: "sure, what is it?"
    SON: "Daddy, how much, precisely do you
    make in an hour?"
    DAD: "That's none of your
    business. Why do you ask such a
    thing?"
    SON: "I just want to know.
    Please daddy, just tell me, how much
    you make an hour?"
    DAD: "If you must know, I make
    $100 an hour. Are you now okay?"
    SON: "Oh! (With his head facing down).
    "Daddy, may I please
    borrow $50?"
    The father was furious.
    DAD: "If the only reason you
    asked that is so you can borrow
    some money to buy a silly toy or
    some other nonsense, then you
    march yourself straight into your
    room and go to bed. Think
    about why you are being so
    selfish. I work hard everyday and all you can come up with is this your stupid
    childish behavior of yours."

    The little boy quietly went to his
    room and shut the door behind him.
    The man sat down and started
    to get even angrier about the
    little boy's questions. How dare
    he ask such questions only to
    get some money?
    After about an hour or thereabout, the
    man had calmed down, and
    started to think: Maybe there
    was something he really needed
    to buy with that $ 50 and he
    really doesn't ask for money very
    often. The man went to the
    door of the little boy's room and
    opened the door.

    DAD: "Are you asleep, son?"
    SON: "No daddy, I'm awake".
    DAD: "I've been thinking, maybe
    I was too hard on you earlier.
    It's been a long day and I took
    out my aggravation on you.
    Here's the $50 you asked for."
    The little boy sat straight up,
    smiling.
    SON: "Oh, thank you daddy!"
    Then, reaching under his pillow
    he pulled out some crumpled up
    bills. The man saw that the boy
    already had money, started to
    get angry again. The little boy
    slowly counted out his money,
    and then looked up at his father.
    DAD: "Why do you want more
    money if you already have
    some?"
    SON: "Because I didn't have
    enough, but now I do.
    "Daddy, I have $100 now. Can I
    buy an hour of your time?
    Please come home early
    tomorrow. I would like to have
    dinner with you."

    The father was crushed. He put
    his arms around his little son,
    and he begged for his
    forgiveness.

    mESSAGE OF THE STORy
    It's just a short reminder to all
    of you working so hard in life.
    We should not let time slip
    through our fingers without
    having spent some time with
    those who really matter to us,
    those close to our hearts.
    Do remember to share that
    $100 worth of your time with
    someone you love?
    If we die tomorrow,
    the company that we are
    working for
    could easily replace us in a
    matter of days.
    But the family and friends we
    leave behind
    will feel the loss for the rest of
    their lives.
    And come to think of it,
    we pour ourselves more into
    work than to our family.

    oNE EYED MUMMy [a moral story]

    Jimmy's mom had just only one eye. He
    hated her so much, the hatred was with a passion!... She was such an
    embarrassment. In order to earn a living, She cooked for
    students and teachers, with the money she got, she
    supported the family, as her husband, Jimmy's mother had died a long time ago.
    One very day, during
    elementary school where Jimmy's
    mom came to say hello to him. He
    was so embarrassed.
    "How could she do this to me?" he said in annoyance. He
    ignored his mother, gave her a hateful
    look and ran out. The next day
    at school one of his classmates
    said, 'Jimmy, your mom only has
    one eye!'
    Jimmy felt like he should bury himself. He just wanted his
    mom to disappear
    . Jimmy confronted her that
    day and said to her, ' If you're only
    going to make me a laughing
    stock, why don't you just die?'
    The poor woman didn't respond... Jimmy
    didn't even stop to think for a
    second about what he had said,
    because he was full of anger. He
    was oblivious to her feelings.
    All Jimmy could think of was getting out of the house, and
    having nothing to do with his mom. So
    he studied very hard, got a chance
    to go abroad to study.
    Then, he got married. Jimmy bought a
    house of his own and had his own kids
    . He was now happy and satisfied with his
    life, his kids and the comforts from his wife.
    Then one day, his mother came
    to visit him. She hadn't seen him
    in years and she didn't even
    meet her grandchildren.
    When she stood by the door, Jimmy's
    children laughed at her, and immediately, Jimmy
    yelled at her for coming over
    uninvited and without giving any notification for coming. He screamed at her, at the top of his lungs
    'How dare you come to my
    house and scare my children!'
    GET OUT OF HERE! NOW!!!'
    And to this, the poor mother quietly
    answered, 'Oh, I'm so sorry. I
    may have gotten the wrong
    address,' and she went out
    of sight.
    One day, a letter regarding a
    school reunion came to Jimmy's
    house. So he lied to my wife that he
    was going on a business trip.
    After the reunion, he went to the
    old shack just out of curiosity.
    His neighbors told him that his mother had died.
    Jimmy did not even shed a single tear. They
    handed him a letter that she had
    wanted him to have. Here the content of the letter goes...



    'My dearest son,
    I think of you all the the time. I'm
    sorry that I came to your house
    and scared your children.
    I was so glad when I heard you
    were coming for the reunion.
    But I may not be able to even
    get out of bed to see you. I'm
    sorry that I was a constant
    embarrassment to you when
    you were growing up.
    You see........when you were very
    little, you got into an accident,
    and lost your eye. As a mother, I
    couldn't stand watching you
    having to grow up with one eye.
    So I gave you mine.
    I was so proud of my son who
    was seeing a whole new world
    for me, in my place, with that
    eye.
    With all my love to you,
    Your mother.

    a TRUE FRIENd [a moral story]

    A true friend is a special gift from God and indeed a rare gem. Read this short story and see why I said so.


    The soldier's heart was filled with horror
    soldier as he saw
    his lifelong friend fall in battle.
    Caught in a trench with
    continuous gunfire whizzing
    over his head, the soldier asked
    his lieutenant if he might go out
    into the "no man's land"
    between the trenches to bring
    his fallen comrade back.
    "You can go," said the
    lieutenant, “but i don't think
    it's worth it. Your friend is
    probably dead and you may
    loose your own life too." The
    lieutenant's advice didn't
    matter, and the soldier went
    anyway. Luckily, he
    managed to reach his friend,
    Placed him onto his shoulder and
    bring him back to their
    company's trench. As the two
    of them tumbled in together to
    the bottom of the trench, the
    officer checked the wounded
    soldier, and then looked kindly
    at his friend.
    “I told you it wouldn't be
    worth it,” he said. “Your
    friend is dead and you are
    Terribly wounded.”
    “It was worth it, though, sir,”
    said the soldier.
    “What do you mean; worth
    it?” responded the Lieutenant.
    “Your friend is dead.”
    “Yes, Sir” the private
    answered. “But it was worth it
    because when I got to him, he
    was still alive and I had the
    satisfaction of hearing him
    saying his last words, “Joe…, I knew you'd
    come.”

    mORAL OF THE STORy
    Many times in life, whether a
    thing is worth doing or not,
    really depends on how you look
    at it. Take up all your courage
    and do something your heart
    tells you to do so that you may
    not regret not doing it later in
    your life. May each and every
    one of you be blessed with the
    company of TRUE FRIENDS. A
    true friend is one who walks in,
    when the rest of the world
    walks out. War doesn't
    determine who is right. War
    only determines who is left. A friend in time of need is a friend in deed.

    a HEART TOUCHING STORy - 2 [a moral story]

    A very loving couple have been married for
    over 10years without any child and
    it was becoming their 11th year.
    Steve and Sarah stayed with each
    other and greatly hoped that they will
    have a child before their 11th
    year of marriage runs out
    because they were under
    persuasion from friends and
    family members to get a divorce
    but they could'nt let go because
    of the strong bond of love between them.
    Months passed and one day,
    while Dave was returning from
    work, he saw his wife walking
    down the road with a man. The
    man had his arms around her
    neck and they looked very happy.
    For over a week, he saw the
    same man with his wife at
    various places and one evening,
    while Dave was returning from
    work he saw the man drop her
    off at the house after giving her
    a kiss on the cheek.
    Dave was angry and sad.
    Two days later, after a hectic day
    at work, Dave was taking water
    with a glass jug from the
    dispenser when the phone rang.
    He picked it up and the person
    said,"Hello dear, I'll be coming to
    your house this evening to see
    you as promised. I hope.....".
    Dave hung-up the phone. It was
    a male voice and he was sure the
    person was the man he had
    always seen her with.
    He suddenly became shaky with
    the thought that he has lost his
    wife to another man. The glass
    jug fell from his hand and
    shattered into pieces. Clara came
    running into the room asking,"Is
    everything okay?".
    In anger he gave his wife a push
    and she fell.
    She wasn't moving or getting up.
    Dave then realized that she fell
    where he broke the glass jug. A
    large piece of glass had pierced
    her. He felt her breath, pulse and
    heartbeat but there she lay
    lifeless.
    His wife was dead!
    In total confusion, he saw an
    envelope in her hand. He took it,
    opened it and was shocked by its
    content -it was a letter. It reads:
    "My loving husband, words
    cannot express how I feel so, I
    had to write it down. I have been
    going to see a doctor for over a
    week and I wanted to be sure
    before I give you the news. The
    doctor confirmed it that I am
    pregnant with a twin and our
    baby is due 2months from now.
    The same doctor is my long lost
    brother whom I lost contact with
    after our marriage. He has
    promised to take care of me and
    our baby and give us the best
    without collecting a dime.
    He also promised to have dinner
    with us today.
    I am putting this on your favorite
    chair in the sitting room for you
    to remember the day you
    proposed to me and I had to
    write to you saying,"Yes"
    because I was so happy.
    Thanks for staying by my side".
    -Your loving wife
    The letter fell from his hand.
    There was a knock at the door
    and the same man he had seen
    with his wife came in and said,
    "Hello Dave, I suppose I'm right.
    Its Max the brother of your wife
    and......".
    Suddenly, Max noticed his sister
    lying in a pool of her blood.
    He rushed her to the hospital and
    she was confirmed dead. Her
    twin baby gone.


    mESSAGE OF THE STORY
    - We should not be too quick to
    take unnecessary actions in our
    relationship or marriage when
    we havn't questioned our
    partner or spouse on what we
    saw or heard about them.
    - Each of us have our faults. We
    shouldn't be too fast to decide
    the judgement of others.
    Have you thought of that thing
    you are doing wrong that no one
    sees?
    - Not everything you see, hear or
    believe about someone is true.


    mORAL OF THE STORY
    Always learn to control yourself under any condition or situation, irrespective of what you've heard or seen You never can tell... Can you?

    tHE FARMER'S CORn [a moral story]

    Wait! Before you read the story: Ever think that you are in one way connected with your neighbours, even if they're your worst enemies? Do you know that when helping them in any way, you're indirectly rendering yourself help and vice versa? Now you can read the story to know why I said so...


    There was once upon a time, a farmer who
    grows corn. This farmer was very popular for planting award-winning corn. Each
    year he entered his corn in the
    state fair where it won a blue
    ribbon.
    One particular year a T.V reporter
    interviewed him and learned
    something interesting about
    how he grew it. During the course of the interview, the reporter
    discovered that the farmer
    shared his corn seeds with his
    neighbors.

    "How can you afford to share
    your best seed corn with your
    neighbors when they are
    always earning you awards in competition. Don't you know that theirs might beat yours in the next competition
    ?" the
    reporter asked.
    "Why sir," said the farmer,
    "didn't you know? The winds
    picks up pollen from the
    ripening corn and swirls it from
    field to field. If my neighbors
    grow inferior corn, cross-
    pollination will steadily degrade
    the quality of my corn. If I am to
    grow good corn, I must help my
    neighbors grow good corn."

    mESSAGE OF THE STORy
    The farmer is very much aware of the
    connectedness of life. His corn
    cannot improve unless his
    neighbor's corn also improves.
    So it is with our lives. Those
    who choose to live in peace
    must help their neighbors to live
    in peace. Those who choose to
    live well must help others to live
    well, for the value of a life is
    measured by the lives it
    touches.

    mORAL OF THE STORy

    Always help others around you, if you do, you're helping yourself too.
    Remember, what goes around comes around.

    tHE LYING PRINCe [a moral tale]

    This story is actually one of my favourites, very short though, but yet it's moral is so clear and plain. It is mostly suitable for children...

    There was once upon a time, a King whose
    son was a dishonest telltale.
    This dishonest Prince would threaten to
    punish the servants if they ever
    let the King know about his behaviour and acts.

    One fateful day, the King and his son, the Prince
    left the castle together. They
    got to a village, at which
    they parted and went on separate ways. As usual, the Prince
    went back to his normal
    behaviour of getting on
    everyone's nerves, but the King
    returned unannounced and
    caught the Prince red-handed,
    up to his tricks.
    The dishonest Prince took advantage of
    the fact that in that village there
    was a youth who looked just
    exactly like him. He told his father that
    it had been the youth who had
    done all these bad things.
    However, the King, seeing what
    a lying snitch this person was,
    concluded that the boy in the
    village must be his real son, the
    Prince.
    So the King took the boy back
    with him to the palace, and left
    the real Prince in the village.
    While there, the Prince finally
    came to regret his previous life
    filled with lies and accusations.
    The other young man heard of
    this, and decided to forgive the
    Prince. He confessed to the King
    that he wasn't his real son after
    all. The King left the castle and
    brought his son home, and the
    two young men ended up as
    inseparable friends.

    Author.. Pedro Pablo Sacristán

    mORAL OF THE STORy
    If you think you're a professional liar, your lies will backfire one day. So, stop telling lies from now on. Do you promise?

    oUTSIDE THE WINDOw [a moral and motivational story]

    Before you read this story: Are you in a situation or condition and you feel others you're equal with are more privileged or opportuned than you? How do you react to this situation? Do you get envious? Jealous or...? Well, read this story to see why envy or jealousy is not the right answer in such situation....

    Once upon a time...
    Two men who were seriously ill,
    occupied the same
    room in a hospital. One man was allowed to
    sit up in his bed for an hour a
    day to drain the fluids from his
    lungs. His bed was next to the
    room's only window. The other
    man had to spend all his time
    lying flat on his back.
    The men talked for hours on
    end. They spoke of their lives,
    families, their homes,
    jobs, their involvement in the
    military service, where they had
    been on vacation and many other things. And every
    afternoon when the man in the
    bed next to the window could
    sit up, he would pass the time
    by describing to his roommate
    all the things he could see
    outside the window.
    The man in the other bed would
    live for those one-hour periods
    where his world would be
    broadened and enlivened by all
    the activity and color of the
    outside world. Outside this window is
    a park with a lovely
    lake, the man by the window said. Ducks
    and swans played on the water
    while children sailed their
    model boats. Lovers walked arm
    in arm among flowers of every
    color of the rainbow. Grand old
    trees graced the landscape, and
    a fine view of the city skyline
    could be seen in the distance. As
    the man by the window
    described all these
    details, the man on the other side
    of the room would close his
    eyes and imagine the
    scene.
    One warm afternoon the man
    by the window described a
    parade passing by. Although
    the other man could not hear
    the band, he could see it in his
    mind's eye as the gentleman by
    the window portrayed it with
    descriptive words.
    Unexpectedly, an bad thought
    entered his head: Why should
    he have all the pleasure of seeing
    everything while I never get to
    see anything? It seems
    unfair. As the thought compiled,
    the man felt ashamed at first.
    But as the days passed and he
    missed seeing more sights, his
    envy eroded into resentment
    and soon turned him sour. He
    began to brood and found
    himself unable to sleep. "I should be by that window" was all he kept thinking day after day.
    Late one night, as he lay on his back, staring
    at the ceiling, the man by the
    window began to cough terribly. He
    was choking on the fluid in his
    lungs. The other man watched
    in the dimly lit room as the
    struggling man by the window
    groped for the button to call for
    help. Listening from across the
    room, he never moved, never
    pushed his own button which
    would have brought the nurse
    running in. In less than five
    minutes, the coughing and
    choking stopped, along with
    the sound of breathing. Now,
    there was nothing more but silence--deathly
    silence.
    The following morning, the day
    nurse arrived to bring water for
    their baths. When she found the
    lifeless body of the man by the
    window, she was saddened and
    called the hospital attendant to
    take it away--no words, no
    fuss. As soon as it seemed
    appropriate, the man asked if
    he could be moved next to the
    window. The nurse was happy
    to make the switch and after
    making sure he was
    comfortable, she left him alone.
    Slowly, painfully, he propped
    himself up on one elbow to take
    his first look into the outside world. Finally, he would
    have the joy of seeing it all
    himself. He strained to slowly
    turn to look out the window
    beside the bed. It faced a blank
    wall. It was then the man realized that his partner who just died has been describing all sort of scenes only to make him happy. It was then all his evil thoughts dawned on him, he could have pressed the emergency button and a nurse would have attended
    to him, now it's too late to help. He would have to lay there all alone, lonely, sad and...



    mESSAGE OF THE STORy

    The pursuit of happiness is a
    matter of choice, it is a positive
    attitude we consciously choose
    to express. It is not a gift that
    gets delivered to our doorstep
    each morning, nor does it come
    through the window. And I am
    certain that our circumstances
    are just a small part of what
    makes us joyful. If we wait for
    them to get just right, we will
    never find lasting joy.


    mORALS OF THE STORy

    1. No matter the condition of things, never nurture an evil thought towards anyone.
    2. Render the little help you can at every time possible. Remember, the help you render today will earn you a reward tomorrow.

    iMMEDIATE ATTENTIOn [a moral story]

    A doctor entered the hospital in
    hurry after being called in for an
    urgent surgery. He answered
    the call asap, changed his
    clothes & went directly to the
    surgery block. He found the
    boy's father pacing in the hall
    waiting for the doctor. On
    seeing him, the dad yelled:
    "Why did U take all this time to
    come? Don't U know that my
    son's life is in danger? Don't U
    have any sense of
    responsibility?"
    The doctor smiled & said:
    "I am sorry, I wasn't in the
    hospital & I came as fast as I
    could after receiving the call......
    And now, I wish you'd calm
    down so that I can do my work"
    "Calm down?! What if your son
    was in this room right now,
    would U calm down? If your
    own son dies now what will U
    do??" said the father angrily
    The doctor smiled again &
    replied: "I will say what Job said
    in the Holy Book "From dust we
    came & to dust we return,
    blessed be the name of God".
    Doctors cannot prolong lives. Go
    & intercede for your son, we will
    do our best by God's grace"
    "Giving advises when we're not
    concerned is so easy" Murmured
    the father.
    The surgery took some hours
    after which the doctor went out
    happy,
    "Thank goodness!, your son is
    saved!" And without waiting for
    the father's reply he carried on
    his way running. "If U have any
    question, ask the nurse!!"
    "Why is he so arrogant? He
    couldn't wait some minutes so
    that I ask about my son's state"
    Commented the father when
    seeing the nurse minutes after
    the doctor left.
    The nurse answered, tears
    coming down her face: "His son
    died yesterday in a road
    accident, he was in the burial
    when we called him for your
    son's surgery. And now that he
    saved your son's life, he left
    running to finish his son's
    burial."

    gREEDY KING MIDAs [a moral story]

    Almost everyone knows the story of a greedy king known as Midas. Even young children of this generation knows the story. But as common as the story is, It entails several moral lessons for us to learn. For the benefit of those who haven't heard or read it before... Check it out below....
    .
    .
    .

    King Midas
    had lots and lots of gold. The more gold
    he had the more he wanted. He even built a very big treasure house where he
    stored all the gold. King Midas used to spend almost half of the day
    counting the gold.
    One day, as he was counting as usual,
    a strange looking man appeared to him
    and said he would grant him a
    wish. King Midas was delighted
    and said, "I would like
    everything I touch to turn to
    gold."
    The stranger asked him,
    "Oh king, Are you sure?" The king
    replied, "Yes, I'm absolutely sure" So the stranger
    said, "Ok, starting from tomorrow
    morning with the sun rays you
    will get the golden touch." The
    king thought he must have been
    dreaming, this couldn't be true.
    But to his greatest surprise, the next day when he woke
    up, he touched the bed, his
    clothes, and everything turned
    into gold. He was very much happy that the wish wasn't a dream.
    He looked out of the
    window and saw his daughter
    playing in the garden. He
    decided to give her a surprise
    and thought she would be
    happy. But before he went to
    the garden he decided to read a
    book. Just immediately he touched
    the book, it turned into gold and he
    couldn't read it. Then he decided to have breakfast, as he sat to
    have the breakfast, the moment
    he touched the fruit and the
    glass of water, they turned to
    gold. Soon, he was getting more and more hungry and
    he said to himself, "I can't eat
    and drink gold." Just about that
    time his daughter came running
    in, he gave her a welcoming hug and she
    turned into a gold statue. There
    were no more smiles left.
    The king bowed his head and
    started crying. The strange looking man who
    granted the wish came again and
    asked the king if he was happy
    with his golden touch. The king was ashamed, he told the strange man
    that he was the most miserable
    man.
    The stranger asked him another question,
    "What
    would you rather have, your
    food and loving daughter or
    lumps of gold and her golden
    statue?"
    At this point, the king cried and
    asked for forgiveness. He said, "I
    will give up all my gold. Please
    give me my daughter back
    because without her I have lost
    everything worth having." The
    stranger said to the king, "You
    have become wiser than before"
    and he reversed the spell. He got
    his daughter back in his arms
    and the king learned a lesson
    that he never forget for the rest
    of his life.


    mORAL OF THE STORy
    Always think very deeply before making choices, each choice you make has its own consequence so, make wise choices.

    mESSAGES IN THE STORy

    1. Distorted values lead to
    tragedy.
    2. Sometimes getting what you
    want may be a bigger tragedy
    than not getting what you
    want.
    3. Unlike in soccer games
    where players can be
    substituted, the game of life
    allows no substitutions or
    replays. We may not get a
    second chance to reverse our
    tragedies, as the king did.
