The Boy Who Chose Others Over Himself 🌟
Once upon a time, there was a 22-year-old boy named Max who lived a difficult life. His parents had passed away, leaving him to manage everything on his own. Every day, he worked hard just to earn enough money to survive.
Max’s routine was simple: go to work, come home, cook four pieces of bread, eat, and sleep. This was his life, day in and day out. 🍞 One day, something strange happened. After preparing his four pieces of bread, he washed his hands. When he returned, one piece of bread was missing. He was puzzled but chose to ignore it. The same thing happened the next day.
The Curious Encounter 🐭
On the third day, Max decided to keep an eye on his bread. To his surprise, he saw a fat little mouse stealing one of the pieces. Max caught the mouse and asked, “Why are you taking my food? I barely have enough for myself.” The mouse looked up and said, “Brother, please don’t stop me. It’s my fate to take one of your breads.” Max sighed and replied, “I don’t have much. I work all day and make only four pieces of bread to eat. You’re taking one away, and I don’t know how to manage with less.” Feeling sorry for Max, the mouse said, “If you want answers to your problems, go and visit Gautam Buddha. He can help you understand your life and show you what to do.” 🧘♂️
The Journey to Gautam Buddha 🛤️
Determined, Max decided to follow the mouse’s advice. The next day, he left on his journey. The road was long and tiring. As night fell, he found a mansion and asked for shelter. The kind woman who owned the mansion welcomed him and asked where he was going. Max explained, “I’m going to meet Gautam Buddha to ask him about my struggles.” The woman smiled and said, “Could you also ask him a question for me? My daughter hasn’t spoken for 20 years. Please ask when she will speak again.” Max agreed and continued his journey. The Sage and the Tortoise 🏔️🐢 The next day, Max reached a tall, snowy mountain and met a sage meditating nearby. Max asked for help crossing the mountain. The sage replied, “I will help you, but could you ask Gautam Buddha when I will reach heaven? I’ve been meditating for years.” Max promised to ask. The sage waved his magic stick, and Max crossed the mountain. Later, Max reached a wide river but didn’t know how to cross. A large tortoise by the riverbank offered to help. While crossing, the tortoise said, “I’ve lived here for 500 years and wish to become a dragon. Could you ask Gautam Buddha when that will happen?” Max agreed and continued his journey. The Boy’s Selfless Choice 🤔 After many days, Max finally arrived at Gautam Buddha’s place. There were many people waiting to ask questions. Buddha announced he would only answer three questions per person. Max faced a dilemma—he had four questions: one for the woman, one for the sage, one for the tortoise, and one of his own. After thinking deeply, he chose to sacrifice his own question to help others.
The Wise Answers 🧘♂️
Max asked the three questions:
-
When will the woman’s daughter speak?
Gautam Buddha answered, “The day she gets married, she will start speaking.” -
When will the sage reach heaven?
Buddha said, “When he lets go of his attachment to the magic stick.” -
When will the tortoise become a dragon?
Buddha replied, “When he removes his shell.”
The Journey Back 🚶♂️
Max returned with the answers. He first met the tortoise and shared Buddha’s message. The tortoise removed his shell and transformed into a magnificent dragon. As the shell broke apart, it revealed precious gems, which the dragon gifted to Max before flying away. 🐉💎
Next, Max met the sage and relayed Buddha’s words. The sage handed over his magic stick, ascended to heaven, and blessed Max.
Finally, Max returned to the mansion and told the woman her daughter would speak after marriage. Overjoyed, the woman asked Max to marry her daughter. Max agreed, and as soon as they married, the daughter spoke her first words.
A Life Transformed 🌟
With the gems from the dragon, the magic stick from the sage, and a loving wife, Max’s life transformed. His days of struggle ended, and he found happiness—all because he chose to help others before himself.
Moral of the Story 💡
The story teaches us the importance of letting go. Whether it’s the tortoise shedding his shell or the sage releasing his attachment to the magic stick, true progress comes from leaving behind what holds us back. In life, we must let go of bad habits, negativity, and selfishness to grow. By helping others and releasing our burdens, we open the door to new opportunities and success. When we let go of what holds us back, we discover the strength to move forward and embrace all that life has to offer.
This story beautifully illustrates that selflessness, resilience, and courage lead to true happiness and transformation. 🌈✨
