The king and the Beggar💗💗

 Once upon a time a country was ruled by a king who had no son to succeed to the throne.

since the king was getting old, He wanted to select a suitable successor to rule the country.

The king send out notices throughout his country. The notices invited every qualified young man in the country for an interview with the king. The outcomes of the interview would decide a possible successor to the throne. The only qualification for the candidate was that they should have immense love for their fellow human beings.

Every young man across the country was very exited at the possibility of being the ruler of the country.

A poor young man from a remote village also read the notice and started to prepare for an interview with the king. The man was a kind man, a hard working man but he was very poor due to various circumstances.

The man had no good clothes to be presentable in the sight of the king. So the young man man worked really hard and saved some money to buy him proper clothes and supplies. to support him for a long journey to the palace. After he got his supplies and a proper attire for the interview, the young man set out on his quest. 

He traveled many days and had almost completed the journey when he came upon a poor beggar by the side of the road. The poor beggar sat trembling in the cold, covered only in tattered rags. 

The beggar extended his arms and pleaded for help. His weak voice croaked,"I'm hungry and cold. Please help me sir." 

The young man was so moved by the pathetic condition of the beggar that he immediately stripped his new attire and offered it to him.

He also provided his very limited food, he had carried for the journey. The beggar thanked the man a thousand times, but since the man had given up his good clothes to the beggar, He was bit hasitant to go for the interview. He however gathered enough courage to enter the place in his old dirty clothes. Upon his arrival at the palace, a king's attendant showed him the way to the great hall. After a short rest to clean off the journey's grime, the was admitted to the throne room for the interview. 

The young man bowed low as the king entered the room. When he raised his eyes, he gasped in astonishment as he noticed that the king looked very similar to the beggar, he had met on the way. 

The king saw the shook in the man's eye and said " Yes,  i was the beggar, you met on your way." " But why did you dress up like a beggar? you are a king, Well why did you do this to me?"  The young man stammered  after gaining some composure.

 " Because i had to be sure that you had a good heart and you genuinely love your fellow human beings," said the king. 

" i knew that if i came to you as a king, you would have done anything to impress me. But that way i would never have known what is truly in your heart. The generosity and love to the one in need without expecting anything in return is the sign of a great heart. Looking at your love , generosity towards the beggarman proved that you sincerely love your fellow human beings. This country needs a leader who would work for the welfare of all of the nation, not just one who would  offer and cater to the throne.  You have proven that you are the right person to be my successor," promised the king. 

Moral:- You see in life, Kindness is more important than wisdom; and the recognition of this, is the beginning of wisdom.

Think Diffrently

Always Think  Be unique    “In a small Italian town, hundreds of years ago, a small business owner owed a large sum of money to a loan-shark. The loan-shark was a very old, unattractive looking guy that just so happened to fancy the business owner’s daughter. He decided to offer the businessman a deal that would completely wipe out the debt he owed him. However, the catch was that we would only wipe out the debt if he could marry the businessman’s daughter. Needless to say, this proposal was met with a look of disgust. The loan-shark said that he would place two pebbles into a bag, one white and one black. The daughter would then have to reach into the bag and pick out a pebble. If it was black, the debt would be wiped, but the loan-shark would then marry her. If it was white, the debt would also be wiped, but the daughter wouldn’t have to marry the loan-shark. Standing on a pebble-strewn path in the businessman’s garden, the loan-shark bent ...
