Once upon a time, there was a king who ruled a prosperous
country. One day, he went for a trip to some distant areas
of his country. When he came back to his palace, he
complained that his feet were very painful, because it was
the first time that he had gone on such a long trip, and the
road that he went on was very rough and stony. He then
ordered his people to cover every road in the entire country
with leather. Definitely, this would need thousands of cows
skin, and would cost a huge amount of money.
Then one of his wise servants dared himself to tell the
king, "Why do you have to spend that unnecessary amount of
money? Why don't you just cut a little piece of leather to
cover your feet ?"
The king was surprised, but he later agreed to his
suggestion, to make a "shoe" for himself.
There is actually a valuable lesson of life in this story:
To make this world a happy place to live, you better change
yourself - your heart; and not the world.
Selfchanged,
T.Draganova
