TWO BEAUTIFUL MORAL STORIES

Read two old stories and think how you will decide in these circumstances.....

Story No. 1: A company had a tradition of organizing a party and lottery on the eve of every Diwali..!

The rules of the lottery draw were as follows: Each employee pays a hundred rupees as a fund..! There were three hundred people in the company, that means a total of thirty thousand rupees can be raised..! The winner takes all the money..!

The office was filled with activity on the day of the lottery draw..! Everyone wrote their names on slips of paper and put them in the lottery box..!

Although a young man was hesitating to write..! She thought that the weak and sick son of the company's cleaning lady was going to have an operation soon after New Year's morning, but she didn't have the necessary money for the operation, which made her very upset..!

Even though he knew that the chances of winning were slim, only 0.33 percent chances, he wrote the name of the cleaning lady on the note..!

The exciting moment arrived. Boss shook the lottery box and took out a slip from it..! The man also kept praying in his heart: with the hope that the cleaning lady might win the prize..! Then the boss carefully announced the name of the winner, and lo - a miracle happened!

The winner turned out to be the cleaning lady..! There was a wave of happiness in the office and the woman quickly reached the stage to receive the award..! She burst into tears and said, "I am so lucky and blessed! With this money, my son now has hope!"

Thinking about this "miracle", the man headed towards the lottery box..! He took out a piece of paper and just opened it..!

It also had the name of the cleaning lady on it..! That man was very surprised..! He took out many pieces of paper one after the other..!

Although the writing on them was different, the names were all the same..! They were all names of the cleaning lady..! Tears welled up in the man's eyes and he clearly understood what a miracle it was, but miracles don't fall from the sky, people have to make it themselves...!

Story No. 2:

One day in the afternoon went for a walk to the vegetable market with a friend..! Suddenly, an old man in torn clothes came to us with bags of green vegetables in his hand..! The sale of vegetables was very less that day, the leaves looked dehydrated and yellow and had holes in them as if bitten by insects..! But my friend bought three bags without saying anything..! The old man also blushed and explained: "I grew these vegetables myself..! It rained some time ago, and the vegetables were soaked..! They look ugly. .!I am sorry.."

After the old man left, I asked my friend: "Will you really go home and cook these..?"

He didn't want to say no to me.."these vegetables can't be eaten anymore"

"Then why bother to buy it?" I asked..

He replied,"Because it is impossible for anyone to buy those vegetables..! If I don't buy it, probably the old man will not have any income for today".

I admired my friend's thoughtfulness and concern..! Later on I also caught hold of the old man and bought some vegetables from him..!

The old man said very happily, "I tried to sell it all day long, but no one was ready to buy..! I am very glad that you both bought from me. Thank you very much"

A handful of green vegetables which I cannot eat at all, taught me a valuable lesson..

When we are at the bottom, we all hope that miracles will happen to us, but when we are capable, are we ready to be the miracle workers...?
