“154th story”
First published: Aug.06.2020
Once upon a time, a naïve man was taking his Ram to the market to sell.
The naïve man hung a bell around Ram’s neck and tightened the rope to his donkey’s saddle. He sat on the donkey and hit the road while the Ram followed them. Hearing the bell around Ram’s neck, the guy knew Ram was safely following him, and there was nothing to worry about.
A group of thieves silently untightened the Ram on the way and hung the bell to the donkey’s tail. After a little while, a man on the road asked the Ram owner: “Why did you tighten a bell to your donkey’s tail?”
Poor, simple-minded guy realized that someone had stolen his Ram.
The man on the road told him: “Leave your donkey with me and run for your Ram. I will wait here for you.”
The naive guy ran and looked for his Ram but couldn’t find it. He returned to get his donkey back, but that guy had stolen his donkey, and no one was there.
He walked tired and disappointed, and beside a water well saw a group of men gathering.
The group gave the naïve guy, food, and water. The simple-minded guy told them the whole story of his Ram and donkey. The group felt bad for him and said: “We are wealthy merchants.
Some thieves attacked us, and we threw our sack of money into this water well to be safe. Now none of us knows how to swim to get our money back. If you bring our money back from the well, we will give you enough money for your loss of donkey and Ram.”
The naive guy once again believed them. He took his clothes off with some money in his pocket and, left to get to the well. He searched in the water for a bag of money, but there was no money. When he came out of the well, he realized he had lost his clothes and money too.”
“This story reminds us how naïve we are, of all the beliefs we put on elections, governments, some friends and families, and have faith in their lies and continue trusting them.”
that was an interesting lore. quite an eye-opener. we should not be trusting people blindly all the times.
thanks for sharing.

UNE PETITE HISTOIRE TOUTE SIMPLE…
Thank you dear Dominique.
J’aime bien vos petites histoires ! Bonne journée !
Awww, that’s so sweet my dear.
Mollah Nasreddin? (/ Nasredin Hodja?)
LOL. I really don’t know if this is one of his tale’s. My mother told us this story when we were kids.
Thank you so much for sharing this. Ma sha Allah, your stories always teach something.
Thank you dear Muntazir, you are a very kind friend.
What a timely story
Thank you Derrick, yes we just believe others out of our simple hearts.
Your story also reminds us that some of us never seem to learn from our experiences with the con-men in our lives.
Yes Rosaliene, unfortunatly some of us don’t learn from lessons. Thank you dear.
It’s time to put our naivety away. Thank you for sharing and following my blog. Take care.
These are those which true-blooded Germans call „Gutmenschen“, the French « les mougeons » (from the crossbreed between a sheeple and a pigeon) and the English speaking variety “Suckers” adding that “there is one born every minute”. Perhaps – as a reaction to what has just has befallen to Beirut – it is now the right time for them to awaken to reality?
A wonderfull description. Yes we can’t just sit there and let every sigle one play their game with us. Thank you dear friend.
I was rather trusting when I was young. Not so anymore. Too many untrustworthy people now.
We have a saying that “Can’t trust even my eyes these days”
It’s the world of hyena’s and wolves.
Thanks dear.
It’s always my pleasure to read your beautiful stories.
Love you.<3
People who blindly follow “others” are known as “sheeple”.
Yes and somehow they don’t like to fix that. Thanks Ren dear.
Yes you’re absolutely correct. We are so naive and trust people and loose many things.. 😡
Yes that’s so unfortunate. Thanks dear.❤️
Laleh, you are always pulling out amazing stories out of the “bag of your mother’s stories”.
😂😂😂 thanks lovely, it’s a magic bag.😂🌺❤️
So true !
Great story Laleh ! So much to learn from this .😀♥️
Thanks sweetie, appreciate it.❤️🌷🌷
More than ever considering the times now 💚💛❤️
The entire scam of “democrassy” rests on gullibility.
They just abuse our trust.❤️
And the fact that preciously few people are willing to take (and ASSUME) responsibility for anything in life…
Yes, true.🌹🙏
As the ill-meaning people are banking on overall stupidity how do you think that we can defeat such a strategy. My only solution would be true, (humble but never modest) élites…
Nothing would ever change unless we open our minds and eyes. Thanks for sharing your thoughts dear.🌷
Yet the vast majority is blind and deaf (except for football matches). And I am ignorant.
😂😂😂👏🙏
Appreciate your kind comment dear.❤️🌸🌺🌹😍
Una cosa triste di questa umanità è quella di sfruttare l’ingenuità delle persone per i propri scopi.
Che tristezza!
It’s been the usual tools for them, but some how is our fault too. We let them.🙏❤️🌺
A chilling warning.
Appreciate your comments Anna, my kind friend.❤️
Laleh, this story is filled with so much truth. As you say, it accurately so applies to how naive people can sometimes be in today’s world.
Yes, true. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts dear.❤️
