One day, after nicely tucking the boy into his bed, she took the water pitcher and said to her husband, "Listen, master, I am going to the pond to fetch water. You must protect our son from the mongoose."
After she departed, the man went off somewhere to collect alms, leaving the house empty. In the meantime a snake crept out of its hole and 'as fate would have it' approached the boy's bed. However, the mongoose confronted this, his natural enemy, and fearing that it might kill his brother, the mongoose attacked the wicked snake, tore it to bits, and threw the pieces far and wide.
Proud of his valor and his face covered with blood, the mongoose approached the mother to tell her what had happened.
Paying no further attention to the mongoose, she rushed into the house where she found the boy still asleep. Near the bed she saw a large black snake, torn to bits. Then her heart was overcome with sorrow because of the thoughtless murder of her praiseworthy son, the mongoose, and she wept.
While this was happening the Brahman returned home with alms from wherever he had been begging.
"See there!" she cried, overcome with grief for her son, the mongoose. "Oh, you greedy one! Because you let greed rule you instead of doing what I told you to, you now must taste the fruit of your own tree of sin, the pain of your son's death."
Moral: Think before you act. Sometimes what you think may not be the truth.
Don't take hasty decisions out of anger and frustrations.

The doctor said: "I am sorry, I wasn't in the hospital and I came as fast as I could after receiving the call. And now, I wish you'd calm down so that I can save your son".
The patients angry father replied: "What if your son was in this room right now, would you calm down? If your own son dies now what will You do?"
The doctor replied: "From dust we came and to dust we return, blessed be the name of God". Doctors cannot prolong Lives. Go and pray for your son, we will do our best by God's grace"
The angry father murmured: "Giving advises when we're not concerned is so easy".
The surgery took few hours after which the doctor said:
"Thank goodness!, your son is saved!.. If You have any question, please ask the nurse !"
And without waiting for the father's reply he carried on his way running, left hurriedly back to his home.
The angry father asked the nurse: "Why is he so arrogant? Why couldn't he wait for a few minutes, so that I could ask about my son's condition".
The nurse answered, tears coming down her face: "Doctors son died yesterday in a road accident, and he was in the burial when we called him for your son's surgery. and now that he saved your son's life, he left running to finish his son's burial."
Moral: Never judge anyone, just by assumptions. Try to realize the reality of truth.
Because You never know how their life is, what they're going through, and
What their Journey is all About !

"Dad Look, the Trees are Moving away", and his Dad smiles with happiness.
An young couple sitting near by noticed the boy's childish behaviour with pity.
They thought the boy was mentally retarded, and was disturbing them.
Again, the boy shouted, "Dad, Look the clouds are Moving along with us"
Couple got irritated as they could not resist anymore and complained to the boy's father,
"your son is disturbing us, is he retarded ? why dont you show him to a good doctor?"
Father neglecting their criticism he simply smiled and said,
"We are just comming from the hospital.
My son was Blind since his Birth.
He got his eyes today."
The Boy had got his sight after an medical surgery.
The young Couple felt sympathy for the boy after knowing the Truth.
They apologized for their criticism.
Thus we must speak with humbleness to know the truth, before getting angry at others.
Story of Suspicion:
A man discovered that his axe was missing, and he suspected his neighbor's son.
The boy walked like a thief, looked like a thief, and spoke like a thief.
A few days later, the man found his ax under some leaves by the garden shed,
and the next time he saw his neighbor's son,
the boy walked, looked, and spoke like any other child.
Our views do change with the passing Time.
