The Mother and Son- STORY

Dear friends,

Lets share a story rather 2 stories in one story :

Once upon a time there was a son and he had a mother who was illiterate but wise and positive thinker. They had a small tiny house which is just a single room for living, sleeping and cooking. Life was difficult but somehow they were surviving. The mother knew the importance of education so she made her son to study hard and arranged him books for learning.The son had many friends in school but he was always shy of bringing or showing them his house. He always felt low in front of his friends as they lived in bigger house and had a flourishing childhood in comparison to him. The son always asked his mother to take some land and to built a bigger house over that land so that he could show his friends a big house. The mother knew the ground realties and always replied positive about the future. The son used to get annoyed by that and made valid arguments about his poor state. The mother understood his pain but helpless in relieving him from that unbearable pain of his child due to limitation of resources.

Just to release him from his pain the mother used to tell a story to his son: that there were mother and son like them who had no better life than themselves and one day the son came home running and told his mother that a camel is being sold at single penny. On that the mother replied that it was too costly and  they should refrain themselves of buying that camel at such a high price. The time went on and situations got changed and after a few years the son came home running and informed his mother that the camel was being sold at a price of one hundred thousand pennies. On that the mother replied that he should bought as many as possible as it was a throw away price.

The lesson of story was that sometimes even a single penny is expensive and sometimes even thousands of them were a throw away price. It has occurred due to prosperity and buying capacity of the son.

After hearing that story the son never argued with his mother nor complained about their small house as he had understood the true meaning of narrated story.

It happened with all of us in life when sometime we are not able to spend or buy a thing which is available in small price as it would seem to us a big price and sometime the situation gets opposite that even at hefty price the money seems to be very small for any thing we desire. We shall never forget this that it happens only when we work hard and achieve results through our sheer hard work. Life changes for them who believe in  focus, hard work and consistency. The situations changes better for them and at that stage no price is bigger than your effort and result achieved.

Always appreciate and thank god for what you have as at any stage of life you would feel pride in having it.

This story goes well with necessity point of view as that when you are away from desert, a camel is not required even if it is available in a single penny and if you are there and facing the difficulties in surviving then it is cheaper even in all carrying gold as nothing can compare to life gifted by god.

Never forget a camel may be costly even in single penny or sometime cheap in thousands of them.
