Make the world a better place

In the lap of forest once lived a donkey. On a fine afternoon, after a nice full meal, the donkey was resting underneath a coconut tree. He got nothing to do, so he let himself sink in thoughts, a whole lot of negative thoughts! 
He thought, what would happen if the whole world just collapsed? Just as he was thinking....he heard a loud noise!! Upon hearing the noise, the donkey opened his eyes and he saw the rising clouds of dust, and he immediately believed that its the world collapsing exactly as he imagined it. The donkey ran in panic.
On his way another donkey saw him running and when asked he informed him about the world that is collapsing. The donkey spread the same word to the monkeys, bears, birds and every living being in the forest. All of them started to run and howl in panic. 
The lion king who was having a nap, was disturbed by the panic. He woke up and came across the news of the world collapsing and he asked everyone to assemble. The King analysed the situation and asked everyone how they came to the conclusion that the world is collapsing. Everyone took names of the other one and finally all the fingers tended to point towards the donkey. Now the king asked the donkey how he came to spread such a message.
The Donkey explained the situation wherein he heard the loud noise and the rising dust. The lion took the donkey and other animals to the coconut tree where the donkey was resting a while ago. 
The noise the donkey heard was from a bunch of coconut that fell down from a tall coconut tree in the wind, it was the same wind that caused the dust to rise. All the animals realized their mistake. Everyone heard the word and spread the word without checking the facts.

Fact in gossip is like plain porridge being publicized as the spicy oysters Rockefeller, if we look for the spicy oyster Rockefeller, we will never get to it because there isn't any!

The food for thought here is “The world will be a much better place if we can talk to each other than talk about each other”

2.     Mother's Love It was a hot summer day. There was a chemist along with his assistant doing brisk trade under the mid-noon hot sun. The pharmacist noticed an old woman across the road, staring at the shop for a long time. The shopkeeper suggested to the assistant to take care of the customers in the line and he went to check on the old lady.  The chemist crossed the road and approached her and asked her “why you are standing here alone, do you need any help from me”. The lady said she was fine. She had a son who lives in the city with his wife and three children. He and his family came and visited her every summer but this time he called her up last night and said he is going to a hill station with his family so he will not be visiting her this summer. He might come next summer. Saying this, her wrinkled grey eyes shed tears of pain out of a broken heart.  The shopkeeper was muted for a moment and he had no words for her. The mother held h...

The life each wished for Once there lived two farmers in a village. The farmers were friends and they worked really hard. They, more or less had the same share of land in the village and eventually with time, both of them died in the same period.  After their death both the farmers were in their after life. God asked both the farmers the same question. The first farmer was asked: how was his life and how could have God made it better for him. The farmer was so annoyed and disgraced with all the hardship he had in his life. The farmer said he had no luxury, he and his family barely had anything to enjoy. They struggled to manage each day. God kept quiet and asked the farmer what he wanted to become in his next life. The farmer wished to be someone who is unquestioned and who people gave money to. God blessed him and granted his desire.  God approached the other farmer with the same question. The farmer said he was really glad with the life God had given him. The farmer thanked ...

Strong roots Sangeetha and her husband were staying in a housing colony. Next doors to them lived an old man. Everyone addressed him as grandpa. One day a man who sold plants was in the colony. Sangeetha and the grandpa bought the same plant and planted it in their yard. Sangeetha had her education in agriculture and knew everything about the plant. Sangeetha watered the plant and used the right fertilizers and pesticides for her plant and she was so prompt with her schedule. After days both the plants were easily distinguishable. Sangeetha's plant was so green and flourished beautifully. Grandpa's plant was barely anything.  One evening, thunder and storm rampaged the area, everyone and everything was affected. The whole night heavy wind blew. The next morning grandpa and Sangeetha came out to check their plants. Sangeetha's plant was totally damaged, even the last strand of root was pulled out of the soil by the wind. Grandpa's plant on the other hand was just bent, n...
