    About this ebook

    In this fast paced world, people hardly get time to pause and think about the forces which motivate or retard them. They are immersed in their works so deeply, earning and arranging that there is hardly any time for them to read the stories which children used to read in the past.

    Nowadays, most of the children are lost in the world of electronic gadgets, course books, and the things which they think will make them successful in future, which is obviously told them by their elders. Gone are those elders who used to sit with their children to tell them beautiful inspiring stories.

    I am trying to add my share by reviving some of those stories in this series. These short stories are not only interesting, but also highly inspiring and motivating.

    If you are really serious about your children, I mean if you want to make them good human beings, besides seeing them successful in their respective careers, kindly tell them these stories. You will begin to see the magical effects of these stories on the young minds of your children.

    All the best

      Chapter One: A Beautiful Perspective

      There was a very rich man. He and his family lived in a very luxurious house, surrounded by a small garden and a little pond. Though the father was quite rich, he wanted to show to his little son what poverty means.

      He went on a trip with his son and the other members of the family to the country. The sole purpose of the trip was to show to his son the lifestyle of the poor people.

      They spent three days in the country. They lived with a comparatively very poor family on their farm.

      While they were coming back to the city, the father said to the son, Did you enjoy this trip, son?

      The son smiled and said, It was really great, father.

      The father said again, I am sure you have seen and understood how the poor people spend their lives.

      Yes, I have understood very well, father, said the son.

      The father wanted to test his son so he said, All right then tell all those things which you learned on this trip.

      The son thought for a while and then began, Father, the very first thing which I noticed was the dogs in their house. We have one dog and they have four. In our garden, we have a small pond like pool but they have a creek which has fresh and flowing water…

      The father was obviously confused and disturbed because he had not meant all this. He had wanted to show his to son the economic aspects of the lives of the poor people. However, he kept quiet and continued to listen to his son.

      The son continued, In our garden there are electric lanterns, but they have stars at night. Our garden is limited to a few yards and they have greenery and greenery all around them, extending over miles and miles. We live on a very small piece of land but they have enormous fields which go beyond our sight.

      When the boy stopped for a while, perhaps, to catch breath, the father said, Anything bigger and more important which you may have noticed…

      The son thought for a while and then continued, Father, we have three servants who serve us, but in the village they serve others. In the morning, when we come out of our house, we inhale smog and the smell of the burnt car tires, but they have fresh air and healthy environment. We have to buy our food, but they grow their food. We have erected walls around property to protect us from thieves and robbers, but they are all friends and they protect each other….

      The father was stunned, almost speechless. He did not have even a single word in his mouth.

      The son resumed, Father, I thank you for showing this beautiful world of the people who live in the country.

      Dear friends,

      You must have understood how beautiful a notion called perspective is! The father had thought that the son would say that the poor people wore dirty clothes, they ate simple food, they did not have the electronic gadgets which they had in towns and cities, they did not go to colleges and universities, and so on, but the son had a beautiful mind and he picked the most beautiful aspects of the lives of the country folks.

      The son had noticed only the plus points of the villagers’ life.

      We must be
