DON'T CHANGE THE WORLD

 

 Once upon a time, there was a king who ruled a prosperous country. One

day, he went for a trip to some distant areas of his country. When he

came back to his palace, he complained that his feet were very painful,

because it was the first time that he went for such a long trip, and

the road that he went through was very rough and stony. He then ordered

his people to cover every road of the entire country with leather.

 

 Definitely, this would need thousands of cows’ skin, and would cost a

huge amount of money. Then one of his wise servants dared himself to

tell the king, “Why do you have to spend that unnecessary amount of

money? Why don’t you just cut a little piece of leather to cover your

feet?”

 

 The king was surprised, but he later agreed to his suggestion, to make a “shoe” for himself.

 

 Moral of the Story:

 There is actually a valuable lesson of life in this story: to make

this world a happy place to live, you better change yourself - your

heart; and not the world.
