Villagers and Monkey

Once upon a time in a village, a man announced to the villagers that he would buy monkeys for Rs 10.

The villagers, seeing that there were many monkeys around, went out to the forest and started catching them..

The man bought thousands at Rs 10 and as supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped their effort.

He further announced that he would now buy at Rs20.

This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching monkeys again.

Soon the supply diminished even further and people started going back to their farms.

The offer rate increased to Rs 25 and the supply of monkeys became so little that it was an effort to even see a monkey, let alone catch it!

The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at Rs 50!

However, since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would now buy on behalf of him.

In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers. Look at all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has collected. I will sell them to you at Rs 35 and when the man returns from the city, you can sell it to him for Rs 50."

The villagers squeezed up with all their savings and bought all the monkeys.

Then they never saw the man nor his assistant, only monkeys everywhere!

Welcome to the 'Stock Market'!!!!!!!!

The woodcutter

One day, while a woodcutter was cutting a branch of a tree above a river, his axe fell into the river. When he cried out, the Lord appeared and asked, "Why are you crying?"

The woodcutter replied that his axe has fallen into water, and he needed the axe to make his living.

The Lord went down into the water and reappeared with a golden axe. "Is this your axe?" the Lord asked.

The woodcutter replied, "No."

The Lord again went down and came up with a silver Axe. "Is this your axe?" the Lord asked.

Again, the woodcutter replied, "No."

The Lord went down again and came up with an iron Axe. "Is this your axe?" the Lord asked.

The woodcutter replied, "Yes."

The Lord was pleased with the man's honesty and gave him all three axes to keep, and the woodcutter went home happy.

Some time later the woodcutter was walking with his wife along the riverbank, and his wife fell into the river. When he cried out, the Lord again appeared and asked him, "Why are you crying?"

"Oh Lord, my wife has fallen into the water!"

The Lord went down into the water and came up with Priyanka Chopra."

Is this your wife?" the Lord asked..

"Yes," cried the woodcutter.

The Lord was furious. "You lied! That is an untruth!"

The woodcutter replied, "Oh, forgive me, my Lord. It is a misunderstanding. You see, if I had said 'no' to , Priyanka Chopra

You would have come up with Kareena Kapoor . Then if I said 'no' to her, you would have come up with my wife . Had I then said 'yes,' you would have given me all three. Lord, I am a poor man, and am not able to take care

of all three wives, so THAT'S why I said yes to Priyanka Chopra."

The moral of this story is: Whenever a man lies, it is for a good and honorable reason, and for the benefit of others..

That's our story, and we're sticking to it! - "WE ARE HONORABLE MEN!!!!!!"

Please read. Really good.

Please read. Really good.


A Professor was teaching about Proverbs 15:1.
He asked his students, 'why do we shout in anger?
Why do people shout at each other when they are upset?'


The students thought for awhile.
One said, because we lose our calm.


But why shout when the other person is just next to you?
Asked the professor.
Isn't it possible to speak to him or her with a soft voice?
Why do you shout at a person when you are angry?


The students gave some answers but none satisfied the Professor.


Finally he explained, 'when two people are angry at each other,
there is a distance in their hearts psychologically.
To cover the distance, they must shout to be able to hear each other.
The angrier they are,the stronger they will shout to hear each other through that great distance.
Then the Professor asked, 'What happens when two people fall in love?
They don't shout at each other but talk softly.
Why? Because their hearts are psychologically close.
The distance between them is very close.
The Professor continued, 'When they love each other even more, what happens?
They don't speak, only whisper and they even get closer to each other in their love.
Finally they even need not whisper, they only look at each other and that's all.....
So next time you shout on a loved one,
know that you are creating distance between your heart and that person’s heart.


Proverbs 15:1 says a gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.


PLS SHARE with as many friends as u can.
U maybe healing a hot tempered person today...
Enjoy every moment. "Life is easy"

Boss and Joe

Joe was a house keeper who had this habit of drinking from his boss’s wine bottle
and replacing it with water.



The boss, shouted: "Joe?"


Joe answered from the kitchen: “Yes boss?”


Sam: “Who drank my wine and added water in the bottle?”


No answer.


The boss repeated the question, still no answer.


The angry boss marched to the kitchen and threatened Joe,


“What the hell is going on? When I call your name you respond with ‘Yes Boss’ but


when I ask you a question, you remain silent. What is this !!!”


Joe said: “It is like this. In the kitchen, you can hear only your name being called..


You don’t hear anything else that is said, I swear.”


Sam: “How is that possible? All right, I will prove you wrong..


You stay right here in the hall with Madam,


I will go to the kitchen and you ask me a question”


So the boss went to the kitchen.


Joe shouted: “Boss?”


Boss: “Yes Joe?"


Joe: “Who got the maid pregnant?”


No reply.


Joe, yet again: “And who arranged for her abortion?”


Once again silence..


Sam came running from the kitchen and said:


"you are right Joe. When one is in kitchen, one can’t hear anything but one’s name.


That’s bloody strange!”

Doctor save life

A doctor entered the hospital in hurry after being called in for an urgent surgery. He answered the call asap, changed his clothes & went directly to the surgery block. He found the boy’s father pacing in the hall waiting for the doctor.




On seeing him, the dad yelled:

“Why did you take all this time to come? Don’t you know that my son’s life is in danger? Don’t you have any sense of responsibility?”




The doctor smiled & said:

“I am sorry, I wasn’t in the hospital & I came as fast as I could after receiving the call…… And now, I wish you’d calm down so that I can do my work”




“Calm down?! What if your son was in this room right now, would you calm down? If your own son dies now what will you do??” said the father angrily




The doctor smiled again & replied: “I will say what Job said in the Holy Book “From dust we came & to dust we return, blessed be the name of God”. Doctors cannot prolong lives. Go & intercede for your son, we will do our best by God’s grace”




“Giving advises when we’re not concerned is so easy” Murmured the father.




The surgery took some hours after which the doctor went out happy,

“Thank goodness!, your son is saved!” And without waiting for the father’s reply he carried on his way running. “If you have any questions, ask the nurse!!”




“Why is he so arrogant? He couldn’t wait some minutes so that I ask about my son’s state” Commented the father when seeing the nurse minutes after the doctor left.




The nurse answered, tears coming down her face: “His son died yesterday in a road accident, he was at the burial when we called him for your son’s surgery. And now that he saved your son’s life, he left running to finish his son’s burial.”




Moral: Never judge anyone….. because you never know how their life is & what they’re going through

Gardner

A man was an avid gardner...

Saw a small butterfly laying a few eggs in one of the pots in his garden since that day

he looked at the egg with ever growing curiosity and eagerness.




The egg started to move and shake a little.

He was exited to see a new life coming up right in front of his eyes.

He spent hours watching the egg now.

The egg started to expand and develop cracks..

A tiny head and antennae started to come out ever so slowly.




The man's excitement knew no bounds he got his magnifying glasses and sat to watch the life and body of a pupa coming out.




He saw the struggle of the tender pupa and couldn't resisit his urge to HELP.

He went and got a tender forcep the help the egg break,

a nip here a nip there to help the struggling life. And LO!




The pupa was out the man was ecstatic!

He waited now each day for the pupa to grow and fly abt like a beautiful butterfly,

but Alas that never happened the larvae pupa had a oversized head and kept crawling along in the pot for the full 4 weeks and died!




Depressed the man went to his botanist friend and asked the reason.

His friend told him the struggle to break out of the egg helps the larvae to send blood to its wings and the head push helps the head to remain small so that the tender wings can support it thru its 4 week life cycle,

in his eagerness to help the man destroyed a beautiful life!




Struggles help all of us, that's why a wee bit of effort goes a long way to develop our strength to face life's difficulties!




As parents, we sometimes go too far trying to help and protect

our kids from life's harsh realities and disappointments.




We don't want our kids to struggle like we did.




But Harvard psychiatrist Dr. Dan Kindlon says that

overprotected children are more likely to struggle in

relationships and with challenges.




We're sending our kids the message that they're not capable

of helping themselves.




To quote clinical psychologist Dr. Wendy Mogel:

"It is Our Job to prepare Our Children for the Road..., &

Not prepare the road for Our Children..."
