He then ladled the coee out and placed it in a cup. Turning to her he asked. Daughter, what do you
see?
Potatoes, eggs, and coee, she hastily replied.
Look closer, he said, and touch the potatoes. She did and noted that they were soft. He then asked
her to take an egg and break it. After pulling o the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, he
asked her to sip the coee. Its rich aroma brought a smile to her face.
Father, what does this mean? she asked.
He then explained that the potatoes, the eggs and coee beans had each faced the same adversity the
boiling water.
However, each one reacted dierently.
The potato went in strong, hard, and unrelenting, but in boiling water, it became soft and weak.
The egg was fragile, with the thin outer shell protecting its liquid interior until it was put in the boiling
water. Then the inside of the egg became hard.
However, the ground coee beans were unique. After they were exposed to the boiling water, they
changed the water and created something new.
Which are you, he asked his daughter. When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are
you a potato, an egg, or a coee bean?
Moral:In life, things happen around us, things happen to us, but the only thing that truly matters is what
happens within us.
Which one are you?

like one good deed deserves another,> IT IS THE LITTLE THINGS THAT MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE
There was a man taking a morning walk at or the beach. He saw that along with the morning tide came hundreds of
starsh and when the tide receded, they were left behind and with the morning sun rays, they would die. The tide
was fresh and the starsh were alive. The man took a few steps, picked one and threw it into the water. He did that
repeatedly. Right behind him there was another person who couldnt understand what this man was doing. He caught
up
with him and asked, What are you doing? There are hundreds of starsh. How many can you help? What dierence
does
it make? This man did not reply, took two more steps, picked up another one, threw it into the water, and said, It
makes a dierence to this one.

Some time back i read this
A person visits a fruit seller every day and buys oranges, after weighing he would pick one out and taste one slice and
complain that it is sour, before the lady could replace he would go from there, The old lady smiled every time he did
next few days. The other shopkeeper was seeing this every day and then she asked why he does every day and still
come to your shop. The old lady replied he buys one orange for me from me that is the reason i smile and always give
him a little extra.
