Sorrow came to<br />them later in this way<br />A man had a wife named Pandora. There was no other woman on earth at that time. She<br />had a box given her by Jupiter, king of the gods. Within it were shut up all the good fairies<br />who make men happy. Pandora did not know this, but she was asked never to look into the<br />bex. One day her curiosity got the better of her, and she lifted the lid, when all the fairies came<br />out and flew away. Only the sweet fairy of Hope was left when Pandora closed the box, but<br />all the others were lost to mankind for ever.<br />2. Once upon a time a nobleman built a grand house. On the front of the gate he wrote<br />the words, "This house is to be given to the first man who can prove that he is contented" One<br />day a stranger knocked at the gate and desired to speak to the nobleman. "I am come," said<br />he, "to take possession of his house because I can prove that I am contented." The nobleman<br />said in reply "But there is certainly no trace of that quality in you. If you are contented, you<br />would not wish to get possession of my house." Saying this, he turned the man out.<br />3. One day Maharshi Devendranath Tagore came to a bare piece of land in course of his<br />travels. Only two big trees grew upon it. He liked the place very much because it was so large and<br />so far away from a city He felt that it would be a very good place in which one could think about<br />God. It is said that he sat down in the shade of one of the trees and let his thoughts go to God<br />and good works. He at once made up his mind to buy the land and build an ashram there. He<br />bought it and called the house Santinidetan. He planted trees and flower gardens and fruit sardens.<br />4 A man in the east where they do not require as much clothing as in colder climate, guve<br />up all worldly concerns and retired to a wood. There he built a hut and lived in it. His only<br />clothing was a piece of cloth which he put on round his waist.

Suddenly he felt something strange<br />on his face. To his surprise, he found that he had a long white beard. He found his gun lying<br />on the grass, rusty and useless.
