The Lady Who Wants to Catch the Moon

In a faraway land, very far from the place we live, there comes a lady who dreams of becoming someone. She wanted to travel the world in the simplicity of life she had. She wants to taste a good life having been situated in the misfortune of life. She wanted to be desired and loved by someone whom she never dreamed of. One day, as she passed by the river, she saw a rippling of water from afar. She wanted to run away but her feet would not let her. She shouted with all her might but no one heard her. She started to cry and the tears started to roll down her cheeks but nobody was there to help her. Nowhere to escape, nowhere to turn to. Until such time of having frozen for a long time, the ripples of water started to talk. "Are you the lady who wanted too much of what she had"? Are you tired of the life you have right now? Do you want to experience a satisfying and comfortable life? "Come and I will show you the way to your desirable dream". Without hesitation, the lady followed the ripples of water and suddenly it swallowed her.   To fulfill her dreams, off the lady went and enjoyed every moment of her life the best gift of everything in the world could offer. She enjoyed every minute of it and never thought of her family. She left where she came from. After a year of satisfying herself with the luxury of the world, the lady started to feel dissatisfaction and sadness because of her being alone in the midst of nowhere. Nobody is around. No one is there to talk with her. The ripples of water also went away after she was sent to that place. She felt the eagerness to go back home, but how could she go back? She doesn't know the place and has no trace of people to follow to get out. She realized the actions she had undertaken and longed to be with her family again. She imagined the contentment of her family in the absence of the luxurious things in life. They are contented with things they had and accept the simplicity of their lives. They don't even think nor imagine their situation of having riches in the world. All they wanted was to give their love, support, and care to their family, especially to their children, and teach them the same way that their parents had taught them. The lady woke up from her long-lost dream and realized the failures she had committed to her family and even herself. She only thinks of herself that she forgot all about her family and friends who cared and loved her. She realized that what she went through was just a dream and waking up from that realization is the lesson that teaches her life lessons.
