Once upon a time……..

• An old man was living in a village happily with his son and his faithful horse.

A Horse? Umm…..Well…Does our mind also race like a

Horse ?

Does our mind attempts to reach

the conclusions very fast ?

One fine day the old man’s son went to the jungle in the morning……

……but when he came back in the evening a wild white horse followed him back to the village

Villagers felt how lucky is the old man! He got another horse with no extra cost…..!!

A day or two passed….

The wild white horse returned back to the jungle but took away the old man’s faithful horse with him

Villager’s realized that getting a white horse for free was a bad sign! Now the old man has lost his only faithful horse too!!

The old man was silent. He was neither overjoyed by getting a new horse nor depressed by loosing his old horse.

What’s faith ?

Few more days passed…….

The faithful horse of the old man returned back to old man not only with the white horse but a big pack of horses from the jungle

Villagers this time realized that if you get one white horse you will get more! The old man is lucky indeed !!

Does the mind gets overwhelmed with happy

endings ?

The old man’s son decided to train these wild horses….

Things were going on smooth.But one day…….

He fell down and fractured his leg. Can the mind predict the twists and the turns

in the story told by destiny ?

Coming of white horse was bad sign

indeed !

What the wealth can do if we

loose the health ?

Getting anything for free is Bad !

Old man’s horse is bad. With him came the pack of horses and the Old man’s

son got injured.

Was there any need of training these wild horses ?

Does the old man says anything ?

Few more months passed……..

The old man’s son was now unable to walk without the support of a stick

The old man now had largest number of horses in the village

The villagers were still pitying the old man

The old man was silent as usualAnd then,…. the war broke……

The king forcefully recruited all the youths from the village in his army.

The old man’s son however could not be recruited as he was not found fit.

The old man succeeded in earning a fortune by selling his horses to the king.

The story may go on…. But you can now map your mind to read these empty spaces
