in a small Italian town, hundreds of years ago, a small business owner owed a large sum of money to a loan_shark. the loan shark always a very old, unattractive looking guy that just so happy to fancy the business owner's daughter. He decided to offer a business man a deal that would completely wipe out the debt he owned him. however, the catch was that we would only wipe out the debt if He could marry the business man's daughter. Needles to say, this proposal was met with look of disgust .the loan_shark said that he would place two pebbles into a bags, one white and one black. The daughter would then have to reach into the bag and pick out a pebble. if it was black the debt would also be wiped, but the daughter wouldn't have to marry the loan_shark. standing on a pebble_strewn path in the business man's garden the loan_shark bent over and pick up two pebbles. whilst he was picking them up, the daughter noticed that he'd picked picked up two black pebbles and placed them both into a bag. He then asked the daughter to reach into the bag and pick one The daughter naturally had three choices as to what she could done. Refuse to pick a pebble from the bags.Take both pebble out of the bag and expose the loan-shark for cheating pick a pebble from the bag fully well knowing it was black and sacrifice herself for her father's freedom. she drew out a pebble from bag, and before looking at it accidentally dropped. into the midst of the other pebbles. she said to the loan-shark ; "oh, how clumsy of me . Never mind, if you look into the bag for the one that is left , you will be able to tell which pebble I pick . The pebbles left into bag is abviously black, and seeing as the loan-shark didn't want to be e exposed, he had to play along as if the pebbles the daughter dropped was white, and clear her father's debt. Moral: It's always possible to over came a tough situation thoughout of the box thinking, and not given into the only options you think you have to pick from

Long ago, people lived happily under the rule of a king. The people of the kingdom were very happy as they led a very prosperous life with an abundance of wealth and no misfortunes. Once, the king decided to go visiting place of historical important and pilgrim. centuries at distance places .He decided to travel by foot to interact with his people.people of distant places where very happy to have a conversation with thier King. had a king heart. after several weeks of travel,the the king returned to the place.He was quite happy that he visited many pilgrim centres and witnessed his people leading a prosperous life. However, he had one regret. He had intolerable pain in his feet as it was his trip by foot covering a long distance. He complained to his ministers that roads weren't comfortable and that they were very stony. He could not tolerate the pain. He said that He was very much worried about the people who had to walk along those roads as it would be painful for them too! the king' ministers were stunned to hear his order as it would mean that thousands of cows would have to be slaughtered in other to get safficient quantity of leather. And it would cost a huge amount of many also. finally a Wise man from ministry came to the king and said that had another ideal. The king asked what alternative was. The minister said, "instead of covering the road with leather, why don't you just have a piece of leather, cut in appropriate shape to cover your feet? The king was very much surprised by his suggestion and applauded the wisdom of the minister. He ordered a pair of leather shoes for himself and requested all his county men also to wear shoes. Moral: instead of trying to change the world, we should try to change ourselves.
