Once upon a time .........

A Boy went out in search of happiness , he was said by people that their was a wise man who knew everything about life and death.
So he decided to go to his place.

Rather than finding a saintly man in the mansion , he found all the riches of the world in the mansion, beautifull garden, the world’s best delicacies all ready and served, and good music and other things.

He finally found the wise man , after listening carefully to the boy’s purpose of visit.
The wise man said that he didn’t have time to give him a lecture , and then to explain the secret of happiness.
He suggested the boy to look around the place and return in 2 hours without spilling the 2 drops of oil frm the spoon which the wise man gave .

The boy went back and came after 2 hours.
When the wise man asked that did he notice the beautifull carvings in the mansion, and the garden which took ten years for the gardener to create, and the beautifull parchments in my library ?

The boy was embarrassed and confessed that he had observed nothing. His only concern had been not to spill the oil which the old man had entrusted to him.

Then go back said the old man ,”you cannot trust a man if u don’t know his house”.

Relieved the boy went back and this time he carefully observed everything in and around the house. When he returned he related in detail everytng he had seen.

“but where are the drops of oil I entrusted to you ?” asked the wise man.

“looking down at he spoon he held, he boy saw that the oil was gone.”
The wise man said:
“well there is only one piece of advice I can give u “, said the wisest of all.

“The secret of happiness is to see all the marvels of the world, and never to forget the drops of oil on the spoon.”

The Boy was amazed to listen to the wise guy words and went home happily to share his happiness....
