Opportunity

Assalamualaikum.

Today is Saturday,so let's make ourselves comfortable by just sitting in front of our laptops and read short stories:) So here it goes..


Once upon a time there was a farmer, he had a beautiful farm, he also had a very beautiful lake near the farm. One fine day when he was farming in his field and a stranger passed by, the stranger asked the farmer, "have you seen any diamonds recently?" the farmer was surprised and asked the stranger what a diamond is? The stranger was surprised by his question and said to the farmer "if you had a diamond as big as your thumb you can buy a whole village, and if you have a diamond a big as your fist you can buy the whole city," getting impressed by this, the farmer asked the stranger where he can get diamonds. The stranger said you can get lots of raw diamonds in Africa.

The farmer then sold all his farm with the lake and went to explore Africa for diamonds; leaving his family at stray and alone. More then ten years he was searching for diamonds but he was not able to find anything, but as the farmer sold his farm to the other farmer, the other farmer was sitting beside the lake and saw a very shiny substance, he picked it up & it was a diamond big as his thumb, he took it & kept it as a showpiece in his house.




One fine day that stranger again came to the same farm and saw a diamond in that other farmers home and asked that did that first farmer found this diamond? The second farmer said "no, that farmer sold this farm to me and I found this stone near the lake" Now the second farmer realized that the stone he found is a diamond and it was one of the most precious and expensive stones of the world.


The moral of the story is- "THERE ARE MANY OPPORTUNITIES VERY NEAR TO US BUT WE TEND TO SEE THE OPPORTUNITIES ON OUR OPPOSITE SIDE"
