The instructive story of friendship

I heard a story.
Friendship story.
The story goes like this …


There were a lot of green leaves on a tree by the side of the road. The leaves used to have a lot of fun when the wind came, and they used to play swinging.

One day a very strong wind came. While playing, a leaf fell off and fell down.

The wind was blowing so hard that the leaf could not stay under the tree.

He thought to himself, the wind will blow me away today.

There was a lump of soil under the tree. He understood the mind of the leaf. He slowly came to the leaf and said, don’t be afraid.

The wind can’t blow you away. I’ll sit on you and hold you.

The fear of the leaves was lessened by the word of the soil. The soil sat on the leaves so the wind could not blow away the leaves.

After a while, it suddenly started raining. As soon as it started raining, I thought to myself, I will probably melt today because of the rain.

The leaves understood the mind of the soil.

He said to the mound, “Don’t worry. The rain can’t do anything to you. I’ll cover you.”

So the leaves went and hid the soil. The rain could not melt the soil.

This time he said to the mound of soil, “We are friends from today. We have helped each other, so we are both alive today. From now on, we will help each other.”

I was happy to hear that the leaves were loose. Since then they are two friends and always help each other. Friendship should be like that.

A heart melt real story!

In the image above is Shila Ghosh, an 83-year-old woman who lives in Pali in West Bengal, a state in the eastern region of India and is the nation’s fourth-most populous.

Her only son had heart ailment and passed away a few months ago. To make ends meet, Shila now works. Every evening, Shila comes from Pali to Kolkata to sell chips.

When asked if she has a problem in travelling, she weakly smiled and said: “No, the bus gets me here and my health is not that bad”.

Circumstances could have easily forced her to beg but her dignity and respect is everything for her, she is determined to work until the end of her life rather than to beg on the streets.

When we go on complaining, let us remember her….. she chose to solve her problems on her own for as they say God helps them those who help themselves.

Don’t worry, Shila is being helped. Although she refuses donations and prefers to make her own living, many people found ways to help without making her feel dependent on anyone i.e. purchase more chips from her… some are also helping her to build a kiosk.
