Don't Pride In Your Power


Don't Pride In Your Power

There was a guy whose name was Joseph. He was so cruel and brutal in his manner. No one of his village were left tortured by him. Everyone was afraid of him. He had a friend whose name was Jafor. Joseph embrassed or mocked Jafor several times in front of villagers as he was poor and needy.

Once Joseph was walking on the street. Suddenly his right leg was stucked under a large ancient rock.

He cried for help. He tried his best to pull out his leg from there. He left no stones unturned to release his leg. But all his efforts was unsuccessful. The rock began to smile at him.

Then he asked everyone who were passing him for help. But they all feared him. So no one came to help him.

Suddenly Jafor heard that news from someone. He run up to there to help him. After seeing Jafor, Joseph asked him, " Can you take me out from this rock, please? I am suffering very much with pain."

Jafor said, " I can do it for you but I have some demands."
"What are your demands?" Asked Joseph.
" It is not just food or money! You should promise me you will never mock or torture someone either minor or poor to you." said Jafor.

Joseph asked with surprise and anger, " Do you want to take revenge from me? Don't you know what type of person I am?"

" I know! I know! But it's not my intension to release you from this danger. If you don't want I am going. Good bye ,my friend." said Jafor.

"Hey! Wait! Wait! said Joseph and began to think for a moment. "I am suffering with pain of the leg. It has to be released anyhow. Let me promise to him. I just want to safe myslef first. Then I will teach him a great lesson."

Then Jafor released Joseph's leg from the rock. He was relieved from the bitter pain. But his mind became filled with anger, grief, and disappointment. What to say! He was very much disappointed in thinking how he can take revenge from Jafor or other villagers. But after a while he realised that what was used to behave with others it was not good at all.
At last he had to surrender himself before the poor or needy villagers.
