- Once upon a time, there was a man with his wife, they suffered a lot together. But one day the man decided to go out and find a job. He walked and walked for miles and miles. He came to a man who was a baker, he told the man about the hardship he experienced with his wife. The man understood him and took him as an employee. In their negotiation, the man said to the chief baker that he would not need his money till he will be ready to return back home. The chief agreed and the man started working. He worked there for twenty five years...
One early morning, the man decided to return back home. He told the chief about the decision he made, the chief accepted but he asked the man to make a choice. The chief said " You are going to choose one of these two things: weather you take back your money or instead I give you 3 pieces of advice."Now make your own choice. The man took a deep breath analysing the chief's suggestion. But he finally chose the 3 pieces of advice. The chief said ok
The first piece of advice is: do never react when you are angry.
The second is: do never take a shortcut way.
The last one is: don't ever be curious.
The man agreed. Before he leaves, the chief gave him three pieces of bread and said" you are going to eat two pieces of bread, but the last one, you will keep till you reach home so you eat it with your wife " yes chief, the man said.
The man took his way back home. He walked until the night caught him near a village, he entered the village and asked them to help him a room to pass the night. They gave him a room. In the middle of the night, he heard weird voices coming from everywhere, he decided to get out and see what was happening but suddenly he remembered what the chief told him to never curious, and he slept. In the morning when he came out from that room, people were surprised about seeing him alive cause the know that no one has survived after passing the night in that room knowing about those voices.
When the man was about to take his way, someone told him to take one way which was a shortcut towards his village. He agreed, but fortunately he remembered the second piece of advice to never take a shortcut then he said no. He took the same way he took before.
The way that that man wanted him to take was a bad one because there were any kinds of wild animals.
He reached his village in the unit, continuing towards his house, he saw his wife and a man chatting, and hugging each other, he got so angry and he decided to go and kill the man who's with his but he remembered the last piece of advice, to never react when you are angry. He took a deep breath and waited till the morning. When he entered his house, his wife came, hugged him, kissed him with tears in her eyes. But unfortunately the man wasn't happy about seeing her with a man hugging each other the night before.
He went, took his bath and came back, sat around the table with his wife. He asked her this question " whom were you with yesterday night? "
His wife answered " oh honey when you were about to go for your trip, we didn't notice I was pregnant and that man is your son, he is the one I was with my dear" the man cried and hugged his wife tightly and then smiled.
They still were around the table, the man took out the last piece of bread and to his wife " honey, I went to find a job...." He explained the whole story to his wife and finally said "this is the only piece of bread I came with so let's eat it" when he broke that piece of bread, he found all the money that the chief had to give him as his salary. He was out word. He enjoyed life with his wife and son. They lived a happy life.
