THE HEN THAT LAID GOLDEN EGGS

In olden days there was a farmer. He owned a wonderful hen that laid a golden egg every day. He was extremely happy.

But after some time only one egg could not satisfy his greed. It was a slow process to get only one egg after every twenty-four hours.

So he said to himself, "'One egg a day. It will take longer to be rich." He grew so impatient that he wanted to get all the egg at once. He made up his mind to put the hen to death and become rich in an overnight.

He killed the hen at once and cut open its belly. He began to look for the eggs but there was none to be found.

He saw that his hen was just like other hens. By his stupid act, he lost even the egg he used to get every day. Thus the foolish fellow lost the hen that laid a golden egg daily.

Moral:

As you sow, so shall you reap? Contentment is a great wealth.

FROG IN THE WELL

There was a frog that lived in a shallow well. “Look how well off I am here!” he told a big turtle from the Eastern Ocean. “I can hop along the coping of the well when I go out, and rest by a crevice in the bricks on my return. I can wallow to my heart's content with only my head above water, or stroll ankle deep through soft mud. No crabs or tadpoles can compare with me. I am master of the water and lord of this shallow well, what more can a fellow ask? Why don't you come here more often to have a good time? " Before the turtle from the Eastern Ocean could get his left foot into the well, however, he caught his right claw on something. So he halted and stepped back then began to describe the ocean to the frog. “It’s more than a thousand miles across and more than ten thousand feet deep. In ancient times there were floods nine years out of ten yet the water in the ocean never increased. And later there were droughts seven years out of eight yet the water in the oc

THE ROAD NOT TAKEN

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

BLIND PAIN

It was a cold day in Hell... When I woke up dizzy I always wake up on the "right side of the bed" and I mean ALWAYS Its almost like the term BEAUTY SLEEP was made for me. I don't feel beautiful this morning. ..mainly because my stomach has been churning and couldn't keep nothing in Or it might be the fact that I feel like I was in an accident over the night's rest and would hurriedly rush back to bed for another.. I stared into my doctor's eyes when she told me I was expecting a baby.....The human brain is always active...thinking, plotting, planning. .I was once told! My brain was empty..BLANK! Its a wonder why she called it a BUNDLE OF JOY...ptff!! She could see I'm not wearing a wedding band and I could see the disgust written on her face OR was I just imagining it?? I really didn't wait to find out or bother.... it's an irony she could see my sadness explicitly and still called my baby a "JOY BUNDLE"....I mean reall
