Story 4

A boy and a girl were playing together. The boy had a collection of marbles.
The
girl has some sweets with her. The boy told the girl that he would give her all his
marbles in exchange for the sweets with her. The girl agreed.
The boy kept the most beautiful and the biggest marbles with him and gave her the
remaining marbles. The girl gave him all her sweets as she promised. That night the
girl slept peacefully. But the boy could not sleep as he kept wondering if the girl
has hidden some sweets from him the way he had hidden the best marbles from her.
Moral of the Story :
If you do not give 100 percent in a relationship, you will always kept doubting if
the other person has given her / his hundred percent. This is applicable for any
relationship like love, employee – employer, friendship, family, countries, etc…

A Carrot An Egg and The Coffee-Beans
A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how things were so
hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up.
She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed that, as one problem was
solved, a new one arose. Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots
with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to a boil. In the
first, she placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs and in the last she placed
ground coffee beans. She let them sit and boil without saying a word. In about
twenty minutes, she turned off the burners. She fished the carrots out and placed
them in a bowl. She pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then she ladled
the coffee out and placed it in a bowl.
Turning to her daughter, she asked, "Tell me, what do you see?"
"Carrots, eggs, and coffee," the young woman replied.
The mother brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted
that they were soft.
She then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she
observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, she asked her to sip the coffee. The
daughter smiled as she tasted its rich aroma.
The daughter then asked, "What does it mean, mother?"
Her mother explained that each of these objects had faced the same adversity -
boiling water - but each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, hard and
unrelenting. However, after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and
became weak.
The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior.
But, after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened! The
ground coffee beans were unique, however. After they were in the boiling water,
they had changed the water.
"Which are you?" the mother asked her daughter.
"When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg,
or a coffee bean?" Think of this. Which am I? Am I the carrot that seems strong
but, with pain and adversity, do I wilt and become soft and lose my strength?
Am I the egg that starts with a malleable

heart, but changes with the heat? Did I have a fluid spirit but, after a death, a
breakup or a financial hardship, does my shell look the same, but on the inside am
I bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and a hardened heart? Or am I like the
coffee bean? The bean actually changes the hot water, the very circumstance that
brings the pain.
When the water gets hot, it releases the fragrance and flavor. If you are like the
bean, when things are at their worst, you get better and change the situation
around you.
When the hours are the darkest and trials are their greatest, do you elevate to
another level? How do you handle adversity? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee
bean?

A farmer said to his wife, “You are lazy. You work slowly and lethargically. You
waste your time."
The wife was angry at the words of her husband.

She said to her husband, “You are wrong. Stay at home tomorrow. I will go to field.
I will do your work there. Will you do my works at home here?"
The farmer said happily, “Very well. I will do your works back at home."
The wife said, “Milk the cow. Feed the pigs. Wash the utensils. Take care of our
hen. Spin the yarn."
The woman went to the field. The farmer stayed back at home. He took a vessel and
went to the cow to milk it. He tried to milk the cow. He received a good kick. He
then went to the pig-sty. He hit his head against the beam. He went to feed the
hen. He forgot to spin.
The wife returned from the field when it turned evening. The farmer hung down his
head in shame. Thereafter he did not find fault with his wife. They lived happily
together for a long time.

This Short Story A Father learns A Lesson from His Son is quite interesting to all
the people. Enjoy reading this story.
Velan was a carpenter. He was living in a village. His mother dies a long time
back. His aged father, Kuppan, lived with Velan. Kuppan was very weak. He could not
even walk well. He was so weak. It was because Velan did not give him enough food.
He had given his father a small earthen plate. Even a small quantity of rice in the
plate appeared to be much. Velan was a bad man. He was a drunkard also. After
taking drinks, he abused his father badly.
Velan had a son. His name is Muthu. Muthu was just ten years old. He was a very
good boy. He loved his grandfather. He had great respect for his grandfather. He
did not like his father’s attitude and character, because his father was treating
his grandfather cruelly.
One day Kuppan was eating his food out of earthen plate that his son had given to
him. The earthen plate fell down. The plate broke into pieces. The food also fell
on the floor. Velan was working at the other end of the room. He saw the broken
plate. He was very angry with his father and used very harsh words to abuse his
father. The old man felt bad about what happened. He was sorry for his mistake.
Velan’s words wounded him very deeply.
Velan’s son, Muthu, saw this. He did not like his father. His father was ill-
treating his grandfather. He was afraid to speak against his father. He was sad
about his grandfather. But he was not powerful to stand in support of his
grandfather.
The next day Muthu took some of his father’s carpentry tools and a piece of wood.
He worked with the tools to make a wooden plate. His father saw him working.
“What are you making, Muthu?" he asked.
“I am making a wooden plate!" replied Muthu.
“A wooden plate! What for?" asked his father.
“I am making it for you, father. When you grow old, like my grandfather, you will
need a plate for food. A plate made from earth mat break very easily. Then I may
scold you severely.
So, I want to give you a wooden plate. It may not break so easily."
The carpenter was shocked to hear this. Only now he realized his mistake. His
father was kind to Velan He had looked after Velan very well. Now, he was old.
Velan was treating his father severely. Velan was now very sad about his own
behavior. He realized his mistakes. He then became a different person.
From that day, Velan treated his father with great respect. He gave up drinking
too. Velan learnt a lesson from his own son.
You should honor your parents at all times. It is your duty. It brings you their
blessings.

An old woman wanted to cross a road. She was weak. Therefore she wanted help. She
waited long. She waited alone.
She saw a large number of school boys. They were laughing and talking. They were
going home. So they were happy. They looked at the old woman. They did not help
her. They walked on.
But one boy went to the old woman. He said to her, “Mother! Do you want to cross
the road? I will help you. I will take you to the other side."
The boy helped the old woman. He led her across the road. He did a good deed. He
was happy. He said, “I helped somebody’s mother. So, somebody will help my mother
in her old age."
“Dear God! Be kind to this good boy," said the old woman in her prayer.
