Write moral of story a grain as big as egg
Answers
The short story, which is more of a analogy or parable than a short story, A Grain As Big As A Hen’s Egg, written by Leo Tolstoy, deals with one of my favorite topics: Ethics. The good-versus-evil, the right-from-wrong, the moral philosophy, I am fascinated by these topics. This short story not only deals with ethics, but with religion as well. I cannot go about analyzing only the ethical and moral values, but the religious as well. A Grain As Big As A Hen’s Egg talks about coveting, sin, and money. A Grain As Big As A Hen’s Egg also makes a point saying that men, (and women), have degenerated into an arrogant, ignorant, quite lazy society which will eventually be the norm of society. This frightens me, (as I am classified in the Instant Gratification Generation).
Symbols are an important part of literature, an author puts them together such as the pieces of a jig-saw puzzle. I wish I could say I analyze symbols with ease, but that would be a lie. One big symbol in the story is the old man’s crutches. The crutches represent the ‘aid’ or ‘support’ that one is given freely, instead of having to work for it. The youngest old man struggled to limp in, the father of the old man limped in with one crutch, and the grandfather, walked in, clean and of pleasant sight to the eye. Each one has degenerated into a more sinful and hostile environment, full of thieves, liars, and murderers. The symbol applies into life today, each new generation is actually decaying the honor and pride of humanity. I see a decent example of this could be labor. Today most people would love to get answers when they ask questions, get commodities when wanting, get spoiled in the ease in procrastination and the need for instant gratification. Does anybody grow their own crops and live of of themselves? What man can say they themselves grow their own crops, tend for their cattle, and feed off of what is their own? Do people not got and buy these things to avoid the time consuming labor and hardship? (Yes!). Unfortunately, I cannot take credit for finding that symbol (or example), as they were brought up by other people.
The only thing that impedes this parable from being a fable is the fact that animals and personification are required, I think. The Moral would be something like: Live life by your life by your own labor and covet not what others produce. This is demonstrated by the oldest man, saying that in his own time land was not owned, because land is not man’s but God’s. The oldest man is among the wisest, he does not not buy, nor sell grain, as he calls such thing to be sinful.
Instant Gratification, such a nice title for an essay, (in my own opinion), but not for this one, because Instant gratification is not the big topic. Instant Gratification is actually what the current generation’s name is, unfortunately, I fall under this category, which does not necessarily define me, (or anyone for that mater), but it bothers me seeing as it is true. Why don’t you do something? Well, if anyone did anything, I think that things would be much, much better, but no one will. The habits of procrastination, instant gratification, wanting, are hard habits to break. I n this age of product over abundance, some people just indulge themselves simply out of habit.
Answer:
One day the King was brought an unusually large grain of corn. He had ordered his wise men to discover where this grain came from. The wise men couldn't find an answer and thus suggested that maybe peasant may know where this is grown.
The wise men bought a old peasant in the King presence. The old peasant, was wearing two crutches. He could hardly see and hear what the King was showing and saying to him. When he understood he said that he didn't know where this grain could have been grown. He suggested that maybe his father knew about it.
The King summoned his father. The father was wearing a crutch but had a clearer vision and hearing than his son. Nevertheless, he still didn't know where it came from. He also suggested that maybe his father would know.
The King summoned his father too. The grandfather does not have crutches, has good hearing and eyesight. He told the King that a grain as big as that could have only been grown during his time.
The King then asked why, unlike his son and grandson, he could walk, see, and hear better. The grandfather said that it was because during their time, people did not depend on others for labor
