Question

Write a short story which illustrates the truth of the sentence . "Self help is the best help

Answer 1

Once there was a poor weaver named Rehman. He was lazy and always used to shirk the work. He could not earn much because of this bad habit of his. He always used to blame his fate for all the adversities in his life and the failures that he used to face. He kept on living like this for years together and did not even try to mend his ways. One day a saint happened to pass by his cottage. He stopped there to talk to him. The weaver again repeated the same thing in front of the saint too. The saint tried to console him and adviced him not to blame his fate like that. He also encouraged him to work harder and try to give up laziness. He explained to him that God also helps those people who help themselves and he won't get anything in his life by blaming others. The weaver understood and took each word said by the saint to his heart. He followed his advice and toiled really hard than ever before. Soon, he became very rich and prosperous. He realised the fact that "self help is the best help" and always told everyone about it.
