The Wise Man's Joke
Once upon a time, in a village far away, there lived a very wise old man. Many people used to go to him everyday for taking advices for life. Most of the people who came, complained and cried over the same problem again and again.
One day he decided to teach them a lesson. When the villagers came to him, he told them a joke. They roared with laughter. After couple of minutes, he told the same joke. Only a few of them smiled. The third time, when he cracked the same joke he had told earlier, no one laughed.
The wise man smiled. He then said, 'If you can’t laugh at the same joke every time, why cry over the same problem again and again.
Moral - Worrying about the situation never solves the problem. We should be more concerned about finding ways to solve it.
