“169th story”
First published: Nove.26.2020
A young man was travelling with his father. As they were walking from town to town, his father passed away in the middle of their trip.
The young man couldn’t return his father to their hometown and had to bury him at that place.
The young man started looking for someone to do prayers for his father. He saw a Shepherd and asked: “Who prays for dead around here?”
The Shepherd replied: “No one special, anyone can pray for the dead.”
The young man asked kindly: “Then can you pray for my father’s soul, please?”
The Shepherd got closer to the dead body mumbled for a few sentences, and said: “Okay, your father’s prayer is done.”
The young man said: “Is that it?!!!”
The Shepherd said: “I don’t know any better.”
The young man buried his father perforce and left.
That same night the young man had a dream; His father was in a perfect situation and said: “I ow it to the Shepherd’s prayers.”
The next day, the young man was very curious and went back to the Shepherd; and asked him: “What did you say in your short prayer that my father was happy in my dream?”
The Shepherd said: “I told God if this man was my guest tonight, I would cook the meat of one of my sheep for him, and I don’t have much. Now he is your guest. You are the God and own the entire universe; I am sure he will be in good hands.
