Poor Farmer’s Reaction

Once a teacher and his student went out for a walk. After walking a while they reached a farm where student saw a pair of old torn shoes which seemed to be belonged to poor farmer who was just preparing to get back to his home after a whole day of hard work.

Seeing this student thought of an idea to have fun and said, “Master, We don’t we hide these shoes behind bushes and wait for farmer to come. It would be fun to watch his reaction when he will not be able to find his shoes..!! ”

Teacher felt bad, looked at his student and said, “Son, it’s not good to play such cruel joke with a poor person.”

Teacher thought for a moment and then with a smile on his face he said, “Son, I have a better idea.. Why don’t we just put some coins in each of his shoes and hide behind bushes and then see how farmer will react when he find these coins in his torn shoes??”

Student just wanted to see reaction of poor farmer so he did what his teacher asked him to do and then they both hid behind bushes to see farmers reaction..

Farmer finished his work and come to place where he left his shoes. As he slipped his foot into shoe he felt something hard in his shoes and when he checked he found coins. Farmer was surprised to see coins in his shoes and then took out those coins in his hands and looked carefully then he started to look here and there to see if someone was looking for them or it belonged to someone but he didn’t saw anyone so he kept those coins in his pocket.

After this when farmer slipped his foot in another another shoe, he again felt something hard in his shoes and when he checked he found some more coins and seeing those coins farmer got emotional and tears came out of his eyes.

Farmer folded his hands and looked toward sky and said, “O God, thousand time thanks to that unknown helper who helped me in this time of need Because of that person kindness and help now i will be able to buy medicine for my sick wife and will be able to get bread for my hungry children.”

Students eyes were filled with tears after listening to farmer words. Keeping those coins in his pocket poor farmer left for his home.

After poor farmer left teacher questioned his student, “Now tell me what would had make you more happy? Hiding his shoes or keeping some coins in his shoes??”

Student had tears in his eyes and said, “Master, I will never forget the lesson you taught me today. Now i understand meaning of words — Joy of Giving is much more than taking.. Joy of giving is limitless.. Thank you master..”

Moral: Instead of creating trouble for Someone we should Try to Help People whenever we can because When we give someone It not only Bring Happiness to Them but to Ourselves. Joy of Giving is much more than Taking.

McDow Hole – Anatomy Of A Texas Ghost Story

Spooky Texas legend of the McDow Hole, where ghost sightings of pioneer woman Jenny Papworth and her baby have long been reported. Written by Bob Hopkins . I first heard the legendary tale of the Ghost of the McDow Hole in the fifteenth year of my youth. It was near Halloween in October 1975 when a friend related the tale of the ghost that haunts a creek bed in rural Erath County and naturally I believed every word of it in the twilight of an evening spent with friends telling ghost stories. I would again hear the tale over the years while living in North Central Texas. It wasn’t until my chance encounter of meeting an author of the legend in 2002 that my curiosity began to peak and like any good investigator I felt it my duty to dig deeper into the hundred year old tale of pioneer folklore to see how much of the story was true and how much was fabricated. I would discover many similarities in fact and fiction that I believed would leave any reader with the same curiosity t...

Tsali: North Carolina Cherokee Ghost Story

The year was 1838. As the first rays of early morning light crept through the dark and misty mountain valley, Tsali gazed out of his tiny cave with a heavy heart. As a young boy, he spent days running though the thick woods and scampering up the steep, rocky hillsides that surrounded his Cherokee village in western North Carolina. The mountains were his place of escape — a place where he could dream, and be alone with his thoughts. But now, as an ailing, 60-year-old man, Tsali was hiding in these hills for a very different reason. The white man had taken away the land that his ancestors had lived on for centuries. And they would not stop until even these majestic, sacred hills were theirs. Tsali looked out and saw his fellow villagers, who were also hiding in the tiny crevices that dotted the wooded hillside. Many were shivering in the early morning chill. In their haste to leave, they had had no time to pack their belongings. Some managed to smile back at Tsali, their teeth chat...

Lorenzo Dow’s Georgia Curse

There comes a time in life when we all need a little guidance – a little helpful push to remind us what’s right and wrong. And for some folks, that guidance comes from some good old fashioned, fire and brimstone preaching. Now these days, you can’t turn on the TV without seeing one religious channel after another. But back in the old days when there wasn’t any TV – or cars for that matter – the traveling preacher was the only man of God some country folk got to see. Lorenzo Dow was one of the best-known traveling preachers back in the 1800s. He was a funny looking man from Connecticut – tall and skinny with wild eyes, long stringy hair, a thick beard, and a slight hunchback. But he also had a booming voice that made sinners across the country shake in their boots. “Repent now, my brothers and sisters! Repent!” he would scream in every town he visited, and many people did just that. Lorenzo loved the outdoors, and would rather sleep on cold, hard ground in the woods than the most ...
