“134th story”
A shepherd took his herd of sheep to graze in a green field.
On the way, he saw a huge apple tree and climbed it.
The shepherd went up high of the tree to reach the better fruits.
While he was enjoying the fresh apples, a strong wind started blowing. He wanted to come down, but it seemed impossible and he got scared.
The wind was moving the tree branches severely, and he knew he would fall and hurt himself badly or even die.
He looked at the sky and said: “Dear God; if you let me come down safely, I would give my herd to the poor for your satisfaction.”
And he kept begging God for a miracle.
Suddenly the wind slowed down and the Shepperd felt his safety right away. He came to a more strong branch, looked at the sky, and said: “Dear God if I give my herd to the poor, what would my wife and children do? I am sure you wouldn’t mind me changing my prayers and giving the poor only half of the herd.”
He came down slowly and when he got closer to the ground, looked at the sky and said: “Dear God, I’m sure you wouldn’t mind if I only give a little bit of the wool and milk to the poor, not any of my sheep.”
The Shepherd reached down safely looked at the sky and said: “Dear God, sometimes I talk too much. Sorry if I took your precious time. Whatever I said on the tree doesn’t make sense to me, now that I am on the ground.”
“This simple story reminds us of many similar situations we see or hear. Some of us don’t keep our promises.”
Amazing story. Moral one
Thanks Riya dear. Happy spring.🌹

Beautiful story,the Sheppard made a commitment with God when he was in danger and he forgot it in safety. I’m sure he had paid it back.

This is a lovely story, I think it is a natural human tendency to think about extreme things in times of difficulties…
True, but we should always keep our promises, LOL. Thanks dear.
A familiar tale of human frailty!
Thanks Peter, always kind and supportive.🌹
Beautiful story ! With god it is “only” a moral problem, with leaders it is the balance of power to change, with friends it is the lost of faith… Thanks Laleh
Thank You dear for reading and commenting. Happy spring.🌹
Empty promises come easy when in dire need. Once we’ve achieved our desire or goal, they are soon cast aside.
It should not be like this, but unfortunately it is. Thanks Rosaliene.🌹

Sempre più spesso l’umanità agisce per suo piacimento ed egoismo, dimentica gli altri e le Entità superiori.
E i risultati si stanno vedendo.
You’re absolutely right, and that’s so unfortunate. Thanks for sharing your comment dear.❤️
