Once upon a time, a Merchant, a
Noble, a Shepherd and a Prince were travelling on the sea. Suddenly, a storm
occurred. The four travellers were thrown by the waves on an unknown island.
Their clothes were torn and they
had lost all their belongings.
The Prince started crying, “This is
all because of our sad fate.”
The Shepherd said, “Forget about
what has happened. Now think of what to do next. We will not gain anything by
crying, but if we work hard, we could go home or maybe live here and make a
good home here.”
The other three, at once, agreed
with the Shepherd. They started thinking what they could do best. The Merchant
and the Prince decided to teach. The Noble said he would open schools for the
subjects they taught.
The simple Shepherd then said, “Why
talk so impractically, are we to starve till then? Think of something you can
do now and here!”
Then he went into the forest and
brought a bundle of twigs and took it to the market to sell. With the money
from the sale they were able to buy some food.
We need to be practical to solve problems.
