a way of love

There was once this guy who is
very much in love with his girl.
This
romantic guy folded 1,000
pieces of paper-cranes as a gift
to his girl.
Although, at that time he was
just a small fry in his company,
his future
doesn't seemed too bright, they
were very happy together. Until
one day,
his girl told him she was going
to Paris and will never come
back.
She also told him that she
couldn't visualize any future for
the both of
them, so let's go their own ways
there and then ...Heartbroken,
the guy
agreed. But when he regains his
confidence, he worked hard day
and night,
slogging his body and mind just
to make something out of him.
Finally with all these hard work
and the help of friends, this guy
had set
up his own company. You never
fail until you stop trying one
rainy day,
while this guy was driving; he
saw an elderly couple sharing an
umbrella
the rain walking to some
destination.
Even with the umbrella, they
were still drenched. It didn't
take him
long to realize those were his
girl's parents. With a heart in
getting back
at them, he droved slowly
beside the couple, wanting
them to
spot him in his luxury sedan.
He wanted them to know that
he wasn't the same anymore; he
had his own
company, car, comfort etc. He
made it! Before the guy can
realize, the
couple was walking towards a
cemetery, and he got out of his
car and
followed.... and he saw his girl, a
photograph of her smiling
sweetly as
ever at him from her
tombstone... and he saw his
paper cranes beside her.
Find time to realize that there is
one person who means so much
to you,
for you might wake up one
morning losing that person who
you thought meant
nothing to you Her parents saw
him. He asks them why had this
happened.
They explained, she did not
leave for France at all. She was
ill with
cancer.
She had believed that he will
make it someday, but she did
not want to be
his obstacle ..... therefore she
had choose to leave him ...
Just because someone doesn't
love you the way you want
them to, doesn't
mean they don't love you with
all they have She had wanted
her parents to
put his paper cranes beside her,
because, if the day comes when
fate brings
him to her again he can take
some of those back with him ...
Once you have loved, you will
always love. For what's in your
mind may
escape but what's in your heart
will remain forever
The guy just wept ..... The worst
way to miss someone is to be
sitting
right
beside them knowing you can't
have them

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.

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.

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.
