God helps the person who helps himself
A sailor from a village decided to sell the goods to another continent
and started the journey. He has to pass a sea for trading the goods. In the
way, he felt hungry and decided to eat. He stopped at an island and started
eating. After eating he fell asleep and slept for some time. He got off from
the sleep and thought to start the journey again so he looked for his ship but
there was no ship anywhere. The island was fully covered with forest.
A few days later he started to learn how to live in a forest and started
to build a house with firewood. When he got hungry he used to hunt in the
forest and get the food for eating. He was continuing the same for many days.
One day after hunting he saw a strange thing that his house was burning
with all the things that he belonged to. On seeing that he cursed the god
angrily like this "first I lost my ship and I tried to live here slowly
but you burned my house now alas what is my situation now?” then he saw a ship
far away then he waved his hands hoping that they would save him. The ship came
nearer and save the sailor.
The sailor asked "how did you know that I was here in danger"
then the people answered, "We saw some smoke and decided to see what is
there and we came to save you”. Thus, the sailor realized that God helps the
person who helps himself.
Moral of the story: God helps the person who helps
himself.
