One Little Suggestion
Once upon a time, there was a king that 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 sore. It was the first time that he had gone for such a long trip, and the road that he went on was very rough and stony.
So he ordered his people to cover every road of the entire country with leather.
Definitely, to do this job would require thousands of cows’ skin, and would cost a huge amount of money.
So one of his wise servants dared himself to suggest to the king, “Why do you want to spend all that unnecessary money? When you could just cut one little piece of leather and cover your feet?”
The king was surprised, but he later agreed to this suggestion, and made a “shoe”Âť for himself.
The moral of the story: To make the world a better place – just change yourself (the place you are standing.) The world is just fine the way it is.
