A Story of King and Three Ministers
Once a king called his three ministers and said, Here I have given you one empty sack. Your task will be to go to the forest and collect different fruits and bring this sack full, see who can fill the sack and bring it back. Three people went to the forest.
🧒👦 The 1st minister thought, the king said so he filled the sack with good fruits and like that he returned with the sack full of good fruits of the forest.
🧒🧑 The 2nd minister thought, the king will not see all the fruits so Habijabi filled the bottom with rotten fruits, filled the top with only some good fruits and returned.
🧑👦 The 3rd minister thought, where will the king spend so much time to open the sack, he will only see if the sack is full. He brought sacks full of dead leaves, grass and wood in the forest.
Three ministers appeared in the court of the king, the king was happy to see all the sacks full. He did not even open the sacks. The 3rd minister thought of his intelligence and felt himself to be quite intelligent. The ruler got some margin to sit in his masnad and reported that these three priests ought to be shipped off jail with their sacks for 7 days and every one of them ought to be kept in three separate rooms. They will not be given any food for these seven days.
All three were sent to prison. The first priest went through these seven days eating the products of his sack.
The second minister was able to eat all the good fruit he had for 2 days, he tried to spend the rest of the day eating rotten fruit but he fell ill.
The 3rd minister had no fruit in his sack so he died in prison without eating.
The lesson of this story is- If we grow up by learning and studying properly, then we can enjoy the results when we go to work.
