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 that I fel

Mama Coon Coon: A Louisiana Swamp Folktale

Now I’ll just bet that none of you have ever heard the story of Mama Coon Coon and the blue waters of the bayou, have you? Well, we know the story, and I think we need to tell it to you right now. Once upon a time, the waters of the bayou were black – as black as ink. Now, even though these waters were black, they were still filled with lots and lots of fishes, shrimp and crab. And all of the fishermen would wake up early in the morning, long before the sun had even come above the horizon, and they would cast their nets down into the deep, black water. And what a wonderful sight it was at the end of the day to watch those fishermen pulling in their nets overflowing with all kinds of fishes, shrimp and crab. Dulac Louisiana Bayou by Clem .

You see, that is the name the local village children gave her because

Belle Boyd, Confederate Spy

One warm spring day, I left my home in Washington, D.C. and took a long drive through the rolling, peaceful farm country in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley. I worked in the city as a tax accountant, but most of my co-workers didn’t know about my secret hobby – I was a Civil War collector. Ever since I was a child, I had collected old Civil War books, maps, clothing, and in later years, weapons. Now as a middle-aged man, my interest had grown to what some would call an obsession. Although it’s hard to believe today, this peaceful Virginia valley was the scene of some of the bloodiest battles of the war. Driving through this historic land not only satisfied my hunger for history, but calmed my nerves far away from the hustle and bustle of home. Some folks say that ghosts wander the earth in places where horrible deaths took place, their lives suddenly ripped away from them before they knew what happened. So it’s no wonder that so many Civil War ghost stories come from the Shenandoah Valle
