The Four Thieves :

Once, there was a gang of four thieves. One night they robbed a wealthy merchant's
house. But the servants woke up and chased them. The thieves ran away with all the
robbed money and the ornaments and hid in a deep forest outside the city.

After two days they could not control their hunger, so one of them said, "Two of us must
go to the city and see if everything is safe. Then they must get some food for the
others."

So, two of them went to the city. They went to a hotel and fed their hungry stomachs.
Then they mixed poison in some packed food to feed the other two because they wanted
to have all the wealth.

Back in the forest, the other two thieves also made a plan. They hid behind a bush.
When the other two thieves came with the food, they stabbed them to death. Then they
happily sat down to eat the food. But as soon as they ate it, they fell dead as the food
was poisoned.

So, all of them fell victims to their evil ways.

The Three Wisemen and The Camel :

Once there lived a man in a small village in Arabia. He had a camel. Whenever he went
on a journey, he went along with his camel. At one such journey, he lost his camel
unexpectedly. He was in search of his camel. He asked everyone, “Have you seen my
camel." But everywhere his effort was in vain.

One day when he came through a city he met three wise men on his way. As usual he
asked the wise men "Have any one of you seen my camel?" The three wise men thought
for a while and began to speak. The man asked them curiously, “Have you seen my
camel on your way?"

The first wise man asked him, “Is your camel’s one eye blind?"

The man replied quickly, “Yes, yes my camel's one eye is blind."

"Have you seen my camel on your way" the man asked the second wise man.

The second wise man asked him, “Is your camel lame?"

The man became curious and said, “Yes, yes he is lame!"

“Have you seen my camel" again he asked the third wise man.

The third wise man asked, "Was your camel carrying honey on one side and grain on the
other side?"

On hearing these words, the owner of the camel became happy and asked them’ “Have
you all seen my camel? Please tell me."

Now the three wise men replied, “We had never seen your camel?"

“You three are fooling me now" Don’t make fun of me", the man said in anger.

The three wise men said calmly." We are not fooling you man. We didn’t see your camel
anywhere". The man got angry and took them to the King for enquiry.

He said to the King, “The three men had stolen my camel my Lord".

He also described what they had said. The king asked the three what had happened. The
three men denied that they had never seen it. The King asked them then how they could
tell the identity of the camel lost.

The first man told the king that he had seen the grass eaten on only one side. “So I
assumed that the camel must be blind in one eye", He said.

The second man said that he had seen the grains scattered on one side and the honey
on the other side. “So I assumed that the camel was carrying the grains on one side and
honey on the other side", He said.

The third man described that the hoof marks of the camel were lighter on one side than
the other. “So we came to a conclusion that the camel must be lame", He said.

The courtier including the king wondered about the cleverness of the three. So the king
declared that they were not thieves and he asked the owner of the camel to search on
the way the three wise men had come. The camel man went out of the court bending his
head in search of his camel. The king appointed the three, as his ministers and ruled
according to their advice.

Budhha and Angry Many :

Do You Still Get Angry? Then you should read this and decide.

One day Buddha was walking through a village. A very angry and rude young man came
up and began insulting him, "You have no right teaching, others,' he shouted. “You are
as stupid as everyone else. You are nothing but a fake."
Buddha was not upset by these insults. Instead he asked the young man "Tell me, if you
buy a gift for someone and that person does not take it to whom does the gift belong?"

The man was surprised to be asked such a strange question and answered, "It would
belong to me. Because I bought the gift."

The Buddha smiled and said, “That is correct. And it is exactly the same with your anger.
If you become angry with me and I do not get insulted, then the anger falls back on you.
You are then the only one who becomes unhappy, not me. All you have done is hurt
yourself. If you want to stop hurting yourself, you must get rid of your anger and
become loving instead. When you hate others, you yourself become unhappy. But when
you love others, everyone is happy."

Do not Give Up :

ONE DAY I DECIDED TO QUIT my job and to end my life. There seemed to be no reason
for me to live any longer.

I quit my job, my relationship, my spirituality…everything… I wanted to quit my life.

I went to the deep-woods to have one last talk with god

“God", I asked,

“Can you give me one good reason not to quit?".

His answer surprised me…

“Look around", He said. “Do you see the fern and the bamboo ?

“Yes", I replied.

“When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very good care of them.

I gave them light.I gave them water.The fern quickly grew from the earth.

Its brilliant green covered the floor.Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did
not quit on the bamboo.In the second year the Fern grew more vibrant and plentiful.

And again, nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo. He
said.
“In year three there was still nothing from the bamboo seed.But I would not quit.

In year four, again, there was nothing from the bamboo seed. I would not quit." He said.

“Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout emerged from the earth. Compared to the fern it
was seemingly small and insignificant…But just 6 months later the bamboo rose to over
100 feet tall.

It had spent the five years growing roots. Those roots made it strong and gave it what it
needed to survive.I would not give any of my creations a challenge it could not handle."

He asked me. “Did you know, my child, that all this time you have been struggling, you
have actually been growing roots".

“I would not quit on the bamboo.I will never quit on you."

“Don’t compare yourself to others." He said."The bamboo had a different Purpose than
the fern.

Yet they both make the forest beautiful.""Your time will come", God said to me.

“You will rise high".

“How high should I rise?" I asked.

“How high will the bamboo rise?" He asked in return.

“As high as it can?" I questioned. "Yes." He said, “Give Me glory by rising as high as you
can."

I left the forest and brought back this story.I hope these words can help you see that
God will never give up on you…… Never, Never, Never Give up

Do not Give Up World
