The Magic Pencil/مداد جادویی


255th story

A wise man was holding a pencil, thinking and writing something.

An inquisitive boy approached him and asked, ” What are you writing that made you think so deeply?”

The wise man smiled and said,” More important than my writing is my magic pencil.”

” How can I have a magic pencil like what you have, when I grow up?” The boy asked tenderly.

The wise man replied: ” This magic pencil has five specific qualities.

1- You can do huge things in life. Still, never forget how to control your pencil. By doing so, those enormous things stay high-minded.

2- Sometimes, you have to sharpen your pencil. It hurt, but your pencil will be ready again. It can write even better things as those hard moments made a better person of you.

3- The great thing about pencils is that you can erase your mistakes. Still, be careful. If the mistake happens more than once, the trace will stay on the paper. It even rip the spot.

4- It doesn’t matter how the pencil looks from the outside. What is important is the quality of the core of the pencil. So, try to be the best person, mainly from the inside.

5- Finally, try to leave a great trace with the pencil of your life. Choose a better path to leave a useful sketch.
