I love this story. please read it and please tell me your idea.
He was a poor stone breaker. His job was so hard. One day he was so tired of breaking the hard rocks of the mountain.He sat on the stone staring at the road where a Caravan was passing along. A king and so many servants around him! They've kept big feathers over his head to save his eyes from the sun. He sighed deeply and an angel appeared as soon as he sighed "I'm an angel of mercy" She said "why did you sigh?"
"It's my hard job and I'm so tired of that" stone breaker answered "I wish I was a king with so many servants"
"Well, well, well!" angel said "Be a king …… done!"
* * *
He was a king with so many servants who they've kept feathers over his head. He was happy until that day when the feather went away and his eyes suffered by sharp rays of sun.
"So Sun is more powerful than me" he thought "I'd like to be Sun" …. He sighed and Angel appeared "what's your problem" she asked
"Sun" he said "it is more powerful than me I would like to be Sun"
" Hummm" the angel whispered "Ok Go on ! "
* * *
He was transformed to Sun. He teased eyes of kings around the world. He was completely happy. But one day when he was going to tease eyes of a king he found out it is impossible because of a small piece of cloud.
"I'm Sun but this small cloud is more powerful than me" he thought "I would like to be cloud"
He sighed again and the angel appeared. After a while he was transformed to clouds.
* * *
He was so powerful he covered sun and he was happy. One day as he tried to cover Sun he found out he can't. Something was pushing him away by force." What's this?" he roared. That was the wind and he was thinking" the wind is more powerful than me it is much better for me to be Wind ". The angel was appeared by his sigh. And he asked her to change him as the wind.
* * *
He was the wind. He traveled around the world to scatter all clouds. He felt he was so strong and because of that he was so proud. One day he was going to attack to a small piece of cloud but he couldn't. Something kept him not to go on. "Oh! This mountain doesn't let me go, it is more powerful than me" he thought "If I was that mountain I would be the most powerful one".
He sighed. The angel was there to change him to a hard rocky mountain.
* * *
He was a high mountain and strong stony one. He was happier than before He was really strong and winds or storms couldn't move him. He was really proud of his power.
One day he felt something is scratching his ankle. Took a look at down. There was a poor stone breaker who was break his body little by little.
"So he is the most powerful one" He thought "his job is wonderful. I want his job"
* * *
He was a poor stone breaker. His job was so hard. But he was satisfied.

Thank you Nazie !
That was a very nice conclusion.
Nice…
Both of your story and our friends’ idea are nice, specially when we are paying attention to thank God.
This story is reminded me one part of “Alchemist”. (I think it is Chapter 2 part 26 or 27 in your book) when Santiago want to be wind for saving his life. When I was reading that part this story came into my mind. I think more about the relation between them but I couldn’t find logical one!!
So let me say the other thing about this story:
Every body has his problem in life, but if we saw them we might think that they are much happier than us because we are seeing one of their features in that time. If we try to see our properties much exacter we can discover many treasures among them.
You said that you love this story, so I’d also like to hear your idea about it. Please tell us about it.
Thank you dear Sahar !
Very nice idea . Let me know all other ideas and after all I will say mine .
Thank you for attention!
Thank you Sinderella !
Your experience is practical aspect of that story and your hesitation about judgment on your thought had been the best thing that you could do. As you see time is one of the best problem solvers.
Thank you for your attention!
Thank you Dreamer man !
As that gipsy's said in The alchemist " Dreams are the language of God " and you as a dreamer man could be narrator of that language for us.
Thank you for your attention .
Hi DArius,
Thanks for always bringing valuable stories that full of life lessons.
For me, this story let us think that whatever station we are in in life, whatever things we have in life always feel comforted that we can excel if only we think that every thing we do has something of help for others. Meaning to say, each of us has something valuable that can contribute or offer to the world. Thus, we shouldn't be envy to those who for us seems in a higher station in life, but takes pride because we are doing and giving our best we could in our craft, doing our share of "job" in building this world.
I'm so happy to be back in this group and share again my views and be inspired by Darius who has been so helpful to me by his wonderful insights.
