tHE ORPHAN BOY WHO WISHED TO FLY| MORAL STORy

Read this story carefully, there's a moral for you to learn from it

Once upon a time there was a
little boy who was raised in a
orphanage.
The little boy had always
wished that he could fly like a
bird. It was very difficult for
him to understand why he
could not fly. There were
birds at the zoo that were
much bigger than he, and
they could fly.
"Why can't I?" he thought.
"Is there something wrong
with me?" he wondered.
There was another little boy
who was crippled. He had
always wished that he could
walk and run like other little
boys and girls.
"Why can't I be like them?"
he thought.
One day the little orphan boy
who had wanted to fly like a
bird ran away from the
orphanage. He came upon a
park where he saw the little
boy who could not walk or
run playing in the sandbox.
He ran over to the little boy
and asked him if he had ever
wanted to fly like a bird.
"No," said the little boy who
could not walk or run. "But I
have wondered what it
would be like to walk and run
like other boys and girls."
"That is very sad." said the
little boy who wanted to fly.
"Do you think we could be
friends?"
he said to the little boy in the
sandbox.
"Sure." said the little boy.
The two little boys played for
hours. They made sand
castles and made really funny
sounds with their mouths.
Sounds which made them
laugh real hard. Then the
little boy's father came with a
wheelchair to pick up his son.
The little boy who had always
wanted to fly ran over to the
boy's father and whispered
something into his ear.
"That would be OK," said the
man.
The little boy who had always
wanted to fly like a bird ran
over to his new friend and
said, "You are my only friend
and I wish that there was
something that I could do to
make you walk and run like
other little boys and girls. But
I can't. But there is
something that I can do for
you."
The little orphan boy turned
around and told his new
friend to slide up onto his
back. He then began to run
across the grass. Faster and
faster he ran, carrying the
little crippled boy on his back.
Faster and harder he ran
across the park. Harder and
harder he made his legs
travel.
Soon the wind just whistled
across the two little boys'
faces.
The little boy's father began
to cry as he watched his
beautiful little crippled son
flapping his arms up and
down in the wind, all the
while yelling at the top of his
voice,
"I'M FLYING, DADDY. I'M
FLYING!"
Father cried more louder.
Ooops!

That's where the story ends.

a HEART TOUCHING STORy

When I heard of this story, I
almost cried.
I have decided to share it
with you today.
Share with others too.
TRUE STORY HAPPENED IN
INDIA.
;-(
I was walking around in a Big
Bazar store making shopping,
when I saw a Cashier talking
to a boy couldn't have been
more than 5 or 6 years old..
The Cashier said, "I'm sorry,
but you don't have enough
money to buy this doll."
Then the little boy turned to
me and asked: ''Uncle, are
you sure I don't have enough
money?''
I counted his cash and
replied: ''You know that you
don't have enough money to
buy the doll, my dear.''
The little boy was still holding
the doll in his hand.
Finally, I walked toward him
and I asked him who he
wished to give this doll to.
"It's the doll that my sister
loved most and wanted so
much . I wanted to Gift her
for her BIRTHDAY.
I have to give the doll to my
mommy so that she can give
it to my sister when she goes
there."
His eyes were so sad while
saying this. My Sister has
gone to be with God..
Daddy says that
Mommy is going to see God
very soon too, so I thought
that she could take the doll
with her to give it to my
sister...''
My heart nearly stopped. The
little boy looked up at me and
said: "I told daddy to tell
mommy not to go yet.
I need her to wait until I
come back from the mall."
Then he showed me a very
nice photo of him where he
was laughing. He then told
me,
"I want mommy to take my
picture with her so my sister
won't forget me."
"I love my mommy and I wish
she doesn't have to leave me,
but daddy says that she has
to go to be with my little
sister."
Then he looked again at the
doll with sad eyes, very
quietly..
I quickly reached for my
wallet and said to the boy,
"Suppose we check again,
just in case you do have
enough money for the doll?''
'OK' he said, 'I hope I do have
enough.' I added some of my
money to his with out him
seeing and we started to
count it. There was enough
for the doll and even some
spare money.
The little boy said:
"Thank you God for giving me
enough money!"
Then he looked at me and
added, "I asked last night
before I went to sleep for
God to make sure I had
enough money to buy this
doll, so that mommy could
give It to my sister.
He heard me!''
"I also wanted to have
enough money to buy a
white rose for my mommy,
but I didn't dare to ask God
for too much. But He gave me
enough to buy the doll
and a white rose.
My mommy loves white
roses."
I finished my shopping in a
totally different state from
when I started. I couldn't get
the little boy out of my mind.
Then I remembered a local
news paper article two days
ago, which mentioned a
drunk man in a truck, who hit
a car occupied by a young
woman and a little girl. The
little girl died right away, and
the mother was left in a
critical
state.
The family had to decide
whether to pull the plug on
the life-sustaining machine,
because the young woman
would not be able to recover
from the coma. Was this the
family of the little boy?
Two days after this
encounter with the little boy,
I read in the news paper that
the young woman had
passed away.. I couldn't stop
myself as I bought a bunch
of white roses
I went to the funeral home
where the body of the young
woman was exposed for
people to see and make
last wishes before her burial.
She was there, in her coffin,
holding a beautiful white
rose in her hand with the
photo of the little boy and
the doll placed over her
chest.
I left the place, teary-eyed,
feeling that my life had been
changed for ever...
The love that the little boy
had for his mother and his
sister is still, to this day, hard
to imagine. And in a fraction
of a second, a drunk driver
had taken all this away from
him.
Please DO NOT DRINK & DRIVE.

hARD WORKING FATHEr

Father was a hardworking man
who delivered bread as a living
to support his wife and three
children. He spent all his
evenings after work attending
classes, hoping to improve
himself so that he could one day
find a better paying job. Except
for Sundays, Father hardly ate a
meal together with his family. He
worked and studied very hard
because he wanted to provide his
family with the best money
could buy.
Whenever the family complained
that he was not spending
enough time with them, he
reasoned that he was doing all
this for them. But he often
yearned to spend more time with
his family.
The day came when the
examination results were
announced. To his joy, Father
passed, and with distinctions
too! Soon after, he was offered a
good job as a senior supervisor
which paid handsomely.
Like a dream come true, Father
could now afford to provide his
family with life’s little luxuries
like nice clothing, fine food and
vacation abroad.
However, the family still did not
get to see father for most of the
week. He continued to work very
hard, hoping to be promoted to
the position of manager. In fact,
to make himself a worthily
candidate for the promotion, he
enrolled for another course in
the open university.
Again, whenever the family
complained that he was not
spending enough time with
them, he reasoned that he was
doing all this for them. But he
often yearned to spend more
time with his family.
Father’s hard work paid off and
he was promoted. Jubilantly, he
decided to hire a maid to relieve
his wife from her domestic tasks.
He also felt that their three-room
flat was no longer big enough, it
would be nice for his family to be
able to enjoy the facilities and
comfort of a condominium.
Having experienced the rewards
of his hard work many times
before, Father resolved to further
his studies and work at being
promoted again. The family still
did not get to see much of him.
In fact, sometimes Father had to
work on Sundays entertaining
clients. Again, whenever the
family complained that he was
not spending enough time with
them, he reasoned that he was
doing all this for them. But he
often yearned to spend more
time with his family.
As expected, Father’s hard
work paid off again and he
bought a beautiful condominium
overlooking the coast of
Singapore. On the first Sunday
evening at their new home,
Father declared to his family that
he decided not to take anymore
courses or pursue any more
promotions. From then on he
was going to devote more time
to his family.
Father did not wake up the next
day.

MORAL OF THE STORY
Learn to spend time with your family, show them the love they need, money is not everything, you don't know when you'll be leaving them

aLWAYS DIRTy

Mr. and Mrs. George a newly
wedded young couple moves
into a new
neighborhood.
The next morning,
while they are eating breakfast,
the
young woman sees her neighbor
hang
her washed clothes outside,
perhaps
she needs better laundry soap she
says.
Her husband looked on, but
remained silent..
That laundry is not very clean, she
continued, she doesn't
know how to wash correctly.

Every time
her neighbor would hang her
clothes
to dry, the young woman would
make
the same comments..
.
About one
month later, the young lady was
surprised to see a nice clean wash
on
the line and said to her husband:
Look! She has learned how to
wash
correctly. I wonder who taught
her
this.
The husband said: I got up early
this morning
and cleaned our
windows!

mORAL OF THE STORy
So it is with life: What we see
when
watching others, depends on the
purity of the window through
which we
look.
Before we give any criticism, it
might be a good idea to check
our
state of mind and ask ourselves if
we
are ready to see the good rather
than to be looking for something
else in the
person we are about to judge.

sWITCHED FOR JUST ONE DAy

Man was tired of going to
work everyday, while his wife
stayed home. He wanted her to
see what he went through so he
prayed:
'Dear Lord: I go to work
... every day and put in 8 hours while
my wife merely stays at home. I
want her to know what I go
through. So, please allow her body
to switch with mine for a day.'
God, in His infinite wisdom,
granted the man's wish. ... The
next morning, sure enough, the
man awoke as a woman (his wife)... He
arose, cooked breakfast for his
mate... awakened the kids, set out
their school clothes, fed them
breakfast, packed their lunches,
drove them to school, came home
and picked up the dry cleaning, took
it to the cleaners and stopped at the
bank to make a deposit, went
grocery shopping, then drove
home to put away the groceries,
paid the bills & balanced the check
book. He cleaned the cat's litter
box & bathed the dog... Then, it
was already 1 PM & he hurried to
make the beds, do the laundry,
vacuum, dust, sweep and mop the
kitchen floor. Ran to the school to
pick up the kids & got into an
argument with them on the way
home. Set out milk & cookies and
got the kids organized to do their
homework. Then, set up the
ironing board & watched TV while
he did the ironing. At 4:30 he
began peeling potatoes &
washing vegetables for salad,
breaded the pork chops &
snapped fresh beans for supper.
After supper, he cleaned the
kitchen, ran the dishwasher,
folded laundry, bathed the kids &
put them to bed. At 9 PM He was
exhausted, though his daily
chores weren't finished, he went
to bed where he was expected to
make love, which he managed to
get through without complaint.
The next morning, he awoke and
immediately knelt by the bed and
said: 'Lord, I don't know what I
was thinking. I was so wrong to
envy my wife's being able to stay
home all day. Please, Oh! Please, let
us trade back.. Amen!' The Lord, in
His infinite wisdom, replied: "My
son, I feel you have learned your
lesson and I will be happy to change
things back to the way they were.
But, you'll have to wait till 9PM

wHAT GOES AROUNd

One day a man saw an old lady, stranded on the side of the road, but even in the dim light of day, he could see she needed help. So he pulled up in front of her Mercedes and got out. His Pontiac was still sputtering when he approached her. Even with the smile on his face, she was worried. No one had stopped to help for the last hour or so. Was he going to hurt her? He didn’t look safe; he looked poor and hungry. He could see that she was frightened, standing out there in the cold. He knew how she felt. It was those chills which only fear can put in you. He said, “I’m here to help you, ma’am. Why don’t you wait in the car where it’s warm? By the way, my name is Bryan Anderson.” Well, all she had was a flat tire, but for an old lady, that was bad enough. Bryan crawled under the car looking for a place to put the jack, skinning his knuckles a time or two. Soon he was able to change the tire. But he had to get dirty and his hands hurt. As he was tightening up the lug nuts, she rolled down the window and began to talk to him. She told him that she was from St. Louis and was only just passing through. She couldn’t thank him enough for coming to her aid. Bryan just smiled as he closed her trunk. The lady asked how much she owed him. Any amount would have been all right with her. She already imagined all the awful things that could have happened had he not stopped. Bryan never thought twice about being paid. This was not a job to him. This was helping someone in need, and God knows there were plenty, who had given him a hand in the past. He had lived his whole life that way, and it never occurred to him to act any other way. He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give that person the assistance they needed, and Bryan added, “And think of me.” He waited until she started her car and drove off. It had been a cold and depressing day, but he felt good as he headed for home, disappearing into the twilight. A few miles down the road the lady saw a small cafe. She went in to grab a bite to eat, and take the chill off before she made the last leg of her trip home. It was a dingy looking restaurant. Outside were two old gas pumps. The whole scene was unfamiliar to her. The waitress came over and brought a clean towel to wipe her wet hair. She had a sweet smile, one that even being on her feet for the whole day couldn’t erase. The lady noticed the waitress was nearly eight months pregnant, but she never let the strain and aches change her attitude. The old lady wondered how someone who had so little could be so giving to a stranger. Then she remembered Bryan. After the lady finished her meal, she paid with a hundred dollar bill. The waitress quickly went to get change for her hundred dollar bill, but the old lady had slipped right out the door. She was gone by the time the waitress came back. The waitress wondered where the lady could be. Then she noticed something written on the napkin. There were tears in her eyes when she read what the lady wrote: “You don’t owe me anything. I have been there too. Somebody once helped me out, the way I’m helping you. If you really want to pay me back, here is what you do: Do not let this chain of love end with you.” Under the napkin were four more $100 bills. Well, there were tables to clear, sugar bowls to fill, and people to serve, but the waitress made it through another day. That night when she got home from work and climbed into bed, she was thinking about the money and what the lady had written. How could the lady have known how much she and her husband needed it? With the baby due next month, it was going to be hard…. She knew how worried her husband was, and as he lay sleeping next to her, she gave him a soft kiss and whispered soft and low, “Everything’s going to be all right. I love you, Bryan Anderson.” There is an old saying “What goes around comes around.” Wharever good act you perfom God will never fail to compernsate you in a different way beyond your wildest imagination... God Bless You!

hELPLESS LOVe

Once upon a time all feelings
and emotions went to a coastal
island for a vacation. According
to their nature, each was having
a good time. Suddenly, a
warning of an impending storm
was announced and everyone
was advised to evacuate the
island.
The announcement caused
sudden panic. All rushed to their
boats. Even damaged boats
were quickly repaired and
commissioned for duty.
Yet, Love did not wish to flee
quickly. There was so much to
do. But as the clouds darkened,
Love realised it was time to
leave. Alas, there were no boats
to spare. Love looked around
with hope.
Just then Prosperity passed by
in a luxurious boat. Love
shouted, “Prosperity, could
you please take me in your
boat?”
“No,” replied Prosperity,
“my boat is full of precious
possessions, gold and silver.
There is no place for you.”
A little later Vanity came by in a
beautiful boat. Again Love
shouted, “Could you help me,
Vanity? I am stranded and need
a lift. Please take me with
you.”
Vanity responded haughtily,
“No, I cannot take you with
me. My boat will get soiled with
your muddy feet.”
Sorrow passed by after some
time. Again, Love asked for help.
But it was to no avail. “No, I
cannot take you with me. I am
so sad. I want to be by
myself.”
When Happiness passed by a
few minutes later, Love again
called for help. But Happiness
was so happy that it did not
look around, hardly concerned
about anyone.
Love was growing restless and
dejected. Just then somebody
called out, “Come Love, I will
take you with me.” Love did
not know who was being so
magnanimous, but jumped on
to the boat, greatly relieved that
she would reach a safe place.
On getting off the boat, Love
met Knowledge. Puzzled, Love
inquired, “Knowledge, do you
know who so generously gave
me a lift just when no one else
wished to help?”
Knowledge smiled, “Oh, that
was Time.”
“And why would Time stop to
pick me and take me to
safety?” Love wondered.
Knowledge smiled with deep
wisdom and replied, “Because
only Time knows your true
greatness and what you are
capable of. Only Love can bring
peace and great happiness in
this world.”
“The important message is
that when we are prosperous,
we overlook love. When we feel
important, we forget love. Even
in happiness and sorrow we
forget love. Only with time do
we realize the importance of
love. Why wait that long? Why
not make love a part of your life
today?”
