A rich man lived in a city. He was a great merchant and never lacked anything, yet he was always anxious and restless. One day he went to a village to meet a sage at his ashram. The man told his problem to the sage that he was not lacking anything yet he was always worried.
The sage listened to her problem and said – Come tomorrow, I will tell you how to be happy and worry free.
The person reached the sage’s ashram the next day at the same time. He saw that the sage was searching for something outside his hermitage.
That person said – Guruvar (Sage) what are you looking for? May I help You! Rishi said – I am looking for my ring, which has gone missing.
Hearing this, that person also started searching for his ring along with the monk. The ring was not found even after searching for a long time, so that person asked the sage – where did your ring fall?
Muni said – My ring fell in the hut of the ashram, but it is very dark there, so I am looking for the ring outside the ashram.

“Well, we only have one dog, and they have four of them. We have a pool in our garden, while they have a river that seems to have no end. We have expensive lanterns, but at night their heads There are stars above. We have a patio, and they have the whole horizon. We have a small piece of land, while they have endless fields. We buy food, but they grow it. To protect our property We have high fences, and they don’t need it, because their friends protect them.

Then the boy said: “Dad, thank you for making me see how poor we are.”

9. Dreams Come True- Story about happiness in life
Some say dreams don’t come true, but I bet you do. The last incident that happened in my school on 21st August 2020 confirmed that dreams do come true. Last night, while I was sleeping, I dreamed about a house on fire.
Everyone was shocked and we all looked here and there to see where the smoke was coming from. People shouted and started running here and there to douse the fire. Some people called the fire department, but they arrived late.
Next day, I went to school. I was in class and a teacher was teaching. Suddenly, the atmosphere changed and it became suffocating, we could see smoke.
So, my teacher then open the window. Behold! A house behind the school was on fire and the fire was about to come close to the school building.
My teacher then shouted “There’s a fire, everyone run!” I was so scared that I left my school bag and my lunch box with my sandals at school. As we were on another campus, many parents came to pick up their children.
We were waiting for the parents to come. Then I saw that my mother was crying towards the gate of the compound. She immediately saw us, she ran to hug us and she quickly took us to her home. He didn’t even remember asking for our school bags and shoes. We ran home.
The school teachers were calling the fire department, but it took some time for them to reach. When they finally arrived, they learned that no one was home at the time of the fire and that it must have been an electric iron plugged into a socket that started the fire.
I was so scared that I forgot all my stuff at school. My legs were shaking but I ran as fast as I could. I couldn’t run properly because my sandals were still at school. When I got home I told my father about what happened, he was very shocked about it but he was happy to see us.
A few days later, my father brought my things back from school and the house that had caught fire was rebuilt. Everything was back to normal. It was the worst day of my life but a dream come true.
Moral: we should always think positive
