Two men were stranded on a small island after a shipwreck. They decided to pray to God to determine whose prayers were more powerful. The first man prayed for food, a wife, children, a house, and clothes, and each morning found that his prayers had been answered. The second man had prayed that all prayers be granted, including those of the first man, so that he may receive blessings as well. A voice from heaven then revealed to the first man that the second man's single prayer had enabled all other prayers on the island to be answered.

A shipwreck happened during a storm in the sea, and only two
survivors able to swim to the shore of a very small island. The two men not knowing what to do, agreed that they could have no other recourse but to pray god. However, to know whose prayer was more powerful, they divided the small island for both of them, one staying opposite to the other. The First Thing That They Agreed Was To Pray For Was Food. The Next Morning, The First Man Saw A Fruit-Bearing Tree On His Side Of The Island And He Was Able To Eat Its Fruit. The Other Man Had Nothing On His Side. After a week, the first man prayed for a wife, since he was lonely. The next day, another ship, was wrecked, and the only survivor was a woman who swam to his side of the island. The woman became his wife. On the other side, the second man still had nothing.
SOON, THE FIRST MAN PRAYED FOR CHILDREN, A HOUSE AND
CLOTHES. THE NEXT DAY, ALL OF THESE WERE GIVEN. ON
THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ISLAND THE SECOND MAN STILL HAD
NOTHING.
finally, the first man prayed for a ship so that he and
his family can leave the island. in the morning of the next day, a ship was found anchored near the shore. tHE FIRST MAN DECIDED TO LEAVE THE SECOND MAN ON THE ISLAND, SINCE NONE OF HIS PRAYERS WERE ANSWERED AND CONSIDERED HIM UNWORTHY OF ANY BLESSINGS. When he was about to board a ship and leave the second man behind, a voice from heaven spoke, “why will you leave you companion?” “my blessings are mine alone since I was the one who prayed for them”, the first man answered. Since none of his prayers were answered, he is undeserving of any blessings.” “you are mistaken! the voice rebuked the first man. “he had only one prayer which i answered. if not far that, you would not have received any blessings.” “tell me”, the first man replied, “what did the other man pray for that I should owe him anything?” “he prayed that all would prayers be granted.”
