Story No 4 - The Man Who
Boasts
This is a story of a man who loves boasting
about himself and he doesn’t realize that
boasting is not necessary for life.
A man named John lived by himself. He
always enjoyed traveling around the world.
One of his neighbors comes by to see him
after he returns home from his trip.
As he sees his neighbor, he starts to boast
about his adventurous experience. He
describes everything he did on his trip. He
mentions the different people he met and how
knowing so many people made him popular.
Until here it was okay that he said so many
nice things about himself.
Further, he started to exaggerate saying no
one in the world would have gone a long way
as he did.
He had a choice to stop at that but he
continued saying that there were people
who could prove that whatever he spoke
was true. As he crossed all his boundaries
of exaggeration, another neighbor who
overheard the conversation said, “Oh good
man, we do not need any witnesses to believe
your words. Imagine this place to be Rhodes
and leap for us”.
Between Baby And Mother Camel
This story is about a mother and baby camel’s
conversation. The mother camel confidently
answers all the baby’s questions except for one
and her little one gets her to realize something
important that never crossed the mother camel’s
mind ever.
It was a sunny day at the zoo. The baby and
mother camel got free from their work, they
began chatting. The baby camel started to ask
her mother a few questions. What were they?
This left the mother camel surprised and she
didn’t have an answer to give to her little one.
This realization was important for the mother
camel.
Learning
It is good to work hard, focus on improving our
strengths, knowledge, and skills. However, in the
end, what truly matters is to be in the right place
and use those skills appropriately.
After what the other neighbor said, John was
ashamed and had nothing more to boast about
or even utter the next word for that matter. He
kept calm and moved away from the place.
Learning
When we do good or enjoy, it is not at all
necessary to boast about it. Besides being
judged, people would lose faith in us. Thus, it
isn’t necessary to over-share all good things
with people.
