Once upon a time, there lived a young boy who wanted to
marry a Princess. His name was Soma. He lived in a tiny hut beside a vast
mountain. His father was a farmer. He worked hard all day, and Soma thought he
would never become a farmer.
One day he took him to his fields. Standing in the middle of
their farms, he said, ‘Son look at that mountain. It reminds us to be humble
and to dream within our limit.’
Soma understood what his father said, but he chose not to
agree with him. Instead, he had another plan, and that was not to become a farmer.
But if not a farmer, then what.
One day he went to the village fair. She saw a pretty girl
named Tara. He followed her and saw she was buying anything she liked, that too
without bargaining. Her clothes were made of silk. She looked like a fairy. He
looked at a single coin clutched in his hand. And wondered what he could buy in
this one coin, while her world was so different.
After following her for a while, Soma came to know she is
Princess Tara. And then he decided he would become a rich man by marrying a
princess. That night when he reached home, he said to his father that he would
like to leave the next morning and come back only when he becomes a rich man.
While his father was happy, his mother was upset. His father
was delighted that he understood his responsibility. The next morning Soma left
with a single coin in hand. He crossed the river in a boat. He gave that coin
to the rower. Left with nothing, he walked to the market and saw a horse. The
horse belonged to an old man. The old man asked Soma to get grass for his
horse. Soma did that. The old man offered Soma to take the horse with him. Soma asked
the reason. The old man started crying and said, “I have no energy to bring
grass for my horse. I have no children who can take care of me.’
Soma took the horse and promised him he would take care of
his horse. But he also realized his mother and father would be alone just like
the old man. He went back to his village with the horse and worked hard in his fields and
took care of his parents. He never thought of being rich and made his parents his priority.
Moral- Learn from your mistakes.
