“107th story”
First published: Sep.05.2019
Once upon a time, a farmer wanted to sell his horse because it was old. But he wanted to make some money out of it. The price for the old horse was less than five gold coins, but the imposter farmer had an idea to get an excellent price for the old horse.
He went to the Bazaar and shouted many beautiful things about his horse. The king and his minister were passing by, and the farmer’s horse attracted the king’s attention.
He went to the farmer and asked for the price.
When the farmer noticed his customer was the richest person in the territory; The farmer said: “Your Highness my horse is a special horse, and it’s worth five thousand gold coins.”
The king got angry and screamed: “This horse isn’t worth three coins, what is so special that I should pay five thousand?”
The farmer replied: “When you sit on my horse’s back, you see the heaven in front of you. It’s like you are riding in heaven.”
The king got interested and said: “I will pay you ten thousand coins if this isn’t a scam; If you are lying, I will cut your head off.”
Then the King ordered his minister to test the heavenly ride.
The talented farmer said: “But I have to include that only pure souls can see heaven on my horse’s back. A guilty, thief, or sinner won’t see heaven.”
The minister heard this; and as the king ordered he had to ride on the horse’s back. but he didn’t see heaven.
The minister couldn’t let the king know he was a sinner, so he shouted: “Oh my God, this is so beautiful.”
The king couldn’t wait any longer and wanted to see it himself. He sat on that horse’s back and didn’t see anything, but couldn’t let people who gathered around them know that their king was a sinner and shouted: “Oh heaven, oh heaven.”
The king bought the horse for ten thousand golden coins.
The farmer became rich.
The simple-minded people touched the horse to get healed, or maybe their wishes would come through.
After the horse’s death, the king made a statue of a horse, and people continued to worship the statue.
The farmer was well aquatinted with man’s proud hearts.. great story Laleh ♥️

Laleh this story is so creatively written, filled with vivid imagery and insight. The imposter farmer, is like a false prophet or teacher. His heart was not towards heaven, but own selfish motive. Beware of going along with lie or scam to save face.
There are so many nuggets in your story 💜😊
You’re so very kind dear. Appreciate your great share of thoughts.❤️
You are quite welcome. It is a wonderful story with so many lessons 😊💜
Appreciate your support dear.
You are certainly welcome.
❤️
Great story, dear!
Thanks dear so much. Appreciate your kind words.❤️
A wonderful story Laleh: deceptively complex, and beautifully illustrated. Thank you for sharing. 🙂
Of course, one is left to consider who the biggest sinner was? Most certainly it was not the horse whom the people actually venerated.
Hoping all is well.
Namaste,
DN
Yes, poor horse the most honest one between the crowd.😂 Thanks so much Dewin for always supporting.❤️

I think the horse had the happiest ending!
😂 well he deserved it he was the honest one, there. Thanks dear.❤️
An interesting story! It recalls me of “The Emperor’s New Clothes” 🙂
Thanks so much dear Len. That was a wonderful story, thanks for reminding me.❤️
Loved this tale, Laleh. Smart thinking goes a long way. I can’t help but think of the con artists among us.
And there are many. Thanks Rosaliene dear and congratulations again on you book. I will read it soon.
Thanks for your support, Laleh 🙂
With pleasure ❤️
How can I be talking to a real writer? There is not Barnes&Nobles here in Spain, but is there in Amazon, or some other internet space.
You’re so very kind dear. Yes you can buy it from amazon. Please send me your review after you read it, I will post it on my sites.❤️

Quite a story! How one crafts a message can make all the difference. I wonder what the farmer did with those 100s of gold coins?
LOL, that’s a good question. Thanks dear for your kind visit.
