Shake off your problem and stand on it

Once there was a poor washerman. He had a donkey. He loved his donkey so much. It once happened that he was going somewhere with his donkey. On the way, accidentally, the donkey fell into a pit. The pit was very deep. The poor man made so many attempts to pull out the donkey but it was beyond his strength. There was no one to help him. The donkey was braying helplessly.

The poor man didn't want to let his beloved donkey die a tormented death with thirst and hunger biting dust. So he thought to bury the donkey alive in the same pit to make his death smoother.

The washerman began to pour soil on the donkey to fill the pit. Every time he threw soil on the donkey, the donkey shook his body and stepped on the soil. The man continued to bury him. After sometime, the level of the soil raised up and the donkey finally reached the ground. He brayed with delight and walked away to graze in the green fields.

How much does a miracle cost

Tess, a sweet little girl, went to her bedroom and pulled out her saving box that was hidden in some secret place, and began to count all the money she had. One dollar and eleven cents. She counted them twice and thrice to get sure there was nothing less or more.

Keeping the coins carefully in her pocket she went out silently to a nearby drugstore. The pharmacist was very busy talking with his brother from Chicago.

"Excuse me!" she murmured in a soft voice but the pharmacist didn't pay any attention. She waited for a while and again cleared her throat with a disgusting sound. Still there was no effect on the pharmacist. Now she was desperate. She took out all her coins and banged them on the counter.

"Hey little girl, what happened? What do you want?" said the pharmacist in an annoyed mood. "I'm talking with my brother from Chicago who has come after so many years."

"Well, my brother is very sick... I want to buy a miracle..." she said in the same tone.

The pharmacist was amazed at her words. "What... what do you mean?" he asked her in surprise.

"My brother is really sick. Something bad is growing inside his head. My parents say only a miracle can save his life." she said. "How much does a miracle cost?"

The pharmacist softened his voice and said l, "I am very sorry. We don't sell miracles here."

"Oh sir," said Tess, "I have the money to pay for it. Please tell me how much it costs."

The pharmacist's brother was watching all this. He politely asked the girl what kind of miracle she needed.

"I don't know!", she replied with tears in her eyes. "Mom says he needs an operation but Dad can't pay for it. I want to use my money."

"How much money do you have?", asked the pharmacist's brother.

"One dollar and eleven cents, sir!" she replied twinkling her wet eyes.

The man said smiling, "Wow, what a coincidence! The price of a miracle is exactly the same --- one dollar and eleven cents." He caught the girl by her hand and told her that he wanted to see her brother and meet her parents. He further said that he wanted to check if he had a right miracle for her brother or not.

The man was no other but a neuro-surgeon himself. He took no charge for the operation. Tess's brother got recovered soon and came back home again. Tess and her parents were very happy. They admitted that it was really a miracle. But it was only Tess who knew how much a miracle costs.

Everyone has a story

 A 24 year boy was traveling with his father. He was looking out of the train's window. Suddenly he exclaimed with excitement, "Dad, look the trees are going behind!"
The old man stared at his young son and gave a gentle smile. A couple sitting nearby was observing his childish behaviour.

"Oh Dad, look at the clouds. They are running with us!" the boy again shouted.

Now it was almost difficult for the couple to resist.

"Why don't you take your son to a good psychiatrist?" the couple asked in astonishment.

The old man smiled and said calmly, "My son was blind since his birth. He was under treatment in a hospital. He has got his eyesight just today and we are returning from the hospital."
