???? The Legless Beggar:
One day, a rich kid was walking with his dad when he saw an old legless beggar on the street, begging for alms. The boy stopped his dad immediately and walked up to the disabled beggar.
“Hey sir, can I ask you a question?” he asked him.
“Yes you can” the old man replied.
Then the boy said.
“What happened to your legs? Why are they missing?”
A look of shame showed on the dad’s face as he whispered into his son’s ears.
“Hey, you should never ask people inappropriate questions”
The old man heard it. He paused for a moment, then said to the little boy.
“Can I tell you a short story?”
The boy nodded his head. Then old man said.
“It’s a true story about a young boy, and you should pay keen attention”
“Okay”
The old man started speaking.
“There was a boy who had a donkey he loved so much. He called him Banjo, and he was his best companion. One day, he went to bathe in the river and had taken the donkey with him for a bath. Unfortunately, a huge crocodile suddenly leaped out of the water and grabbed the donkey, dragging him deep in the water. The boy couldn’t save his donkey. He screamed so hard as he watched poor Banjo being killed.
He became so angry like a volcano. Burning with anger, he must wreak vengeance, so he jumped into the river to fight the ferocious crocodile. But it didn’t turn out good as another crocodile attacked the boy and started devouring him… The end”
Having listened to the story, the kid wagged his head, then asked.
“So, what happened to the boy afterwards? Or was he also killed?”
The old man paused for a moment, then said.
“Over the years, that boy has grown into an old man and he is now me. I just told you a story about myself, thereby answering your question. I survived but lost both legs from the incident”
Both the father and son were marveled. Then the old beggar concluded.
“My story has a powerful lesson about anger and revenge, you should take away. You should learn to control your anger, or else you would be pushed to inflict vengeance, which would not only hurt others, but also yourself.
I was so angry and desperate, I wanted that revenge so bad that I didn’t realize how stupid I was. Anger can make you take stupid actions that you would live forever to regret. You see, if I had controlled my anger and walked home after the crocodile ate my donkey, I wouldn’t be the ‘legless beggar’ you see today. It’s important you learn to forgive those who hurt you, and move on with your life. Not because they deserve it, but because you deserve peace.
