Taking Friend’s Place

Once in a Kingdom, a man named Liam protested against the King. King was arrogant; he didn't like anyone who would go against him so he ordered his soldiers to arrest and hang that man.

Liam didn’t resist and said, “My Lord, I will gladly accept your punishment but please grant me one last wish.

Please give me some time. Before dying I just want to visit my home and see my children one last time..”

King refused saying, “No, I can't allow it.. There is no guarantee that once you leave.. You will be back..”

Just then a man from the crowd came forward and said, “My Lord, please arrest me instead of him as guarantee and if he doesn’t come back you can hang me instead of him..”

King was surprised because he had never seen a man who would offer his own life for someone else.

King asked him ,”Why are you ready to take the place of this person?”

That man replied, “My Lord, he is my best friend and I trust him, He will be back once he meets his family..”

King agreed and allowed Liam to leave for his home. He was given time of six hours in total that he would need to go and back from his house was at most five hours.

Liam left for his house. He met his family. He still had enough time to reach King’s palace before the time of his hanging.

Liam wanted to reach as soon as possible but on his way he fell from his horse and got his horse and he himself got hurt.

Because of this he got delayed. On the other side, at the palace as time passed. His friend was being held and prepared for hanging. His friend was standing on board to be hanged. Friend was happy to give his life for his friend.

Just a moment before the lever was to be pulled to hang his friends, Liam came running, panting fell on the ground. Liam shouted, “Please stop.. I am back. Please release my friend.

His friend replied, “Liam.. You go back.. I would be happy to take your place and die here..”

Listening to this Liam went close to his friend and said, “My friend thank you for your help. Now please go. This is my punishment and i should face it.”

Seeing this King was overwhelmed by their friendship and said, “I forgive you.. your friendship made a deep impact on me.. You both are free to go..”

Moral: True friend is One Who trusts you and always stays by your side. True friendship can even avert many Problems.

Mud: Tennessee Ghost Story

Tennessee ghost story of a killer who encounters a strange old man along a dark road after burying his victim. What does this old man know about his crime? Find out in this short story by Andy Hinton. Although the walk should have been easier without the load, the adrenaline and whisky that had fuelled Jason earlier in the night is exhausted, and what energy remains is being used to shiver himself warm. As a result, it takes him half an hour to get back to the car. But time is relative, for what is half an hour in a night that never ends. Jason leans the shovel against the trunk and reaches into his right pocket for the keys; finding none, he goes to his left pocket and digs deeper. Then he runs both hands through all his pockets and rechecks them again. “Damn it.” Jason kicks the car, but the sound is muffled by the storm. He is angry enough, cold and worn out enough, to break a window, but he knows he needs the keys to drive home if he is ever to be done with this dreadful...

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 . Licensed under CC BY-SA 2.0 . Now all the fishermen fished early in the morning, with the exception of one fisherman – or should I say fisherwoman. Her name was Mama Coon Coon. You see, that is the name the local village children gav...
