😃 **STORY OF THE DAY BY AMY SIR   01/05/2024

👹 Test of Demon for Honesty:

Once upon a time there lived a poor merchant. One day he returned from the market in the evening. As he was tired he sat down on a shady three to take rest for a while. Leaning on the tree he began to eat a pocket of dates. After eating the dates he threw the nut behind.

There was a frightening sound around him and the entire place was shaking for a while. The merchant stood up terrified behind the tree. He saw a wicked demon with an ugly face. On seeing the demon his legs started shivering and he could not stand firmly on the ground. “

“You silly man why are you throwing stones on me? I was sleeping calmly. You have disturbed my sleep. You have to die for this". It shouted in a thundering voice.

Some how the merchant gathered his courage and said, “Majesty, I don’t throw stones on you. I had no idea to disturb you. I just threw the nuts of dates that I have eaten. I am very sorry. So please forgive me".

But the demon said, "You are cheating me with your cunning words. I will kill you now".

The poor merchant pleaded to the demon. "If you want to kill me, you can kill me after my last wish". The demon asked, "What is that?" The merchant requested, you allow me to go to my house once. I will settle my debts to the others and say last words to my family before my death".

The demon believed his words and allowed him to do as he liked. But it asked him to come the next day itself. The merchant went to his house and settled all his debts and said with tears. “I am to bind my promise to the demon. So I want to go now to the demon".

The Demon saw the merchant coming back to it as he promised. Then it wanted to test his honesty. "I am very happy now. I want to test you now. I will ask the first three men passing by about you. If they talk good about you, I will leave you to go home". The demon said and waited for three persons.

The first man came there. He was old. The demon stopped him and asked him, "Do you know this merchant?"

The old man said, "Yes, I know him very well. He is very kind of me and helped me when I was robbed by the thieves". The Demon felt happy.

The second man came. He was a judge. The Demon stopped the judge and asked, “Do you know this merchant", The judge replied that he brought a man who cheated him in the trade. When I gave punishment to him, the merchant asked him to forgive". The demon smiled for a while.

The third man came. He was a very rich man. The Demon asked him the same question. The rich man thought for some time and then said, “Yes, yes, he helped me once to start my business, with his help now I am very rich".

Then the Demon was quite satisfied and said, “I think, you are a good man really. You go home and join your family and live long."

The merchant thanked the Demon and the three men on the way. Then he returned back home and lived happily.**

*🐈*👨🏻The Man and The Little Cat Story

In a serene forest, where the trees whispered secrets and the sunlight danced through the leaves, there lived an old man named Mr. Alden. Mr. Alden was known for his kind heart and gentle spirit. He often took long walks in the forest, enjoying the tranquility and beauty of nature.

One crisp morning, as Mr. Alden was walking along a narrow path, he heard a faint meowing. Curious, he followed the sound until he found a little cat, its fur matted and eyes wide with fear, stuck in a deep hole. The cat was desperately trying to climb out, but the slippery walls of the hole made it impossible.

Without hesitation, Mr. Alden reached down to help the little cat. But as he did so, the scared cat scratched his hand fiercely. Mr. Alden recoiled in pain, his hand bleeding. Despite the pain, he looked at the cat with eyes full of compassion and tried again, extending his hand towards the frightened animal.

Just then, another man, who had been watching from a distance, called out, “For goodness sakes! Stop helping that cat! He’s going to have to get himself out of there.”

But Mr. Alden, undeterred by the cat’s defensive scratches or the other man’s words, gently spoke to the cat, soothingly, and reached down again. Finally, after several attempts, he managed to grasp the cat gently and lift it out of the hole.

The cat, now free, scampered away into the forest, still frightened but safe. Mr. Alden turned to the other man, a gentle but firm look in his eyes. “Son,” he said, “it is a cat’s instinct to scratch when afraid, and it is my job to love and care. We must treat others with kindness and compassion, regardless of their actions.”

The other man stood in silence, watching as Mr. Alden continued his walk through the forest, his hand still bleeding but his heart full of peace.

🌿🍁Moral of the Story

Treat everyone around you with your ethics, not with theirs. Treat others the way you want to be treated. This story teaches us about the importance of compassion, understanding, and perseverance in the face of adversity or misunderstanding. It reminds us that kindness and care are choices we make, regardless of how others may react**
