🌿 A beautiful lesson in wisdom, patience and true friendship 🌿
A prosperous man lived in a village.
He had a large herd of animals, milk, butter and ghee were his source of income. Life was comfortable, there was no shortage of blessings in the house.
Then suddenly time took a turn…
All his animals fell victim to a dangerous disease and gradually they all died.
The hands that were once used to giving were now empty.
The savings were exhausted in daily expenses, valuable items were sold… until the point of starvation came.
One day his wife said
A friend of yours is the chief of another village how shy are you to ask him for help
The next day he gathered courage and went to his friend ۔
The friend welcomed him with a smile honored him fed him and inquired about his condition.
He openly described his ordeal.
The friend listened calmly and said “Don’t worry, I will help you Then he called his servant and ordered him to give him only one goat, and also said:“If you need it again, feel free to come.”
The man was surprised in his heart, but he quietly brought the goat.
The family started to live on the milk of this goat.
After some time, that goat also died, so he went to his friend again.
Every time the same thing happened…
The friend would honor him, feed him, and send him off with a goat.
Time passed…
The journey from one goat to two, and from two to three began.
This time he acted wisely, saved, and bought more goats.
God blessed him…
Slowly, things began to improve and prosperity returned.
When life completely improved, the wife said:
“Now go and thank your friend.”
He happily went to his friend and acknowledged his kindness.
Hearing this, the friend immediately ordered:
“Send fifty animals to his house with him!”
The man was surprised and said:
“When I was completely broke, you gave me only one goat… and today fifty?”
The friend smiled and said:
“When times are bad, even great help is wasted.
I gave you enough to survive.
And when times changed, I gave generously — because now it will not be wasted.”
The man was convinced of his friend’s wisdom.
Help in life should be done not only with intention, but also with wisdom.
Support in bad times, and strength in good times…
This is wisdom, this is true friendship.
