The Merchant And The Thieves

Two men went into a merchant's shop to buy shawls.The merchant turned away from his wares.When he looked at the counter again,one of the shawls had gone.The merchant stopped the two men and said,

         "One of you has stolen a shawl."

One man swore that he hadn't got the shawl,while the other swore that he hadn't taken it."Then you are both thieves," said the merchant.

He guessed that one had taken the shawl and given it to the other.He searched the thief who swore that he hadn't taken the shawl,found it on him and took both thieves to the magistrate.

The best asset is education

We have heard our teachers and parents always spea of the value of having a good education.we hear this from our childhood.It is the elders who know much more than us the value of education.Small children know how to play.They think much about playful things and toys.If we devote more time for playing we loose our valuable time which we can devote for studies.Time is very important for any of us, specially for small children who are studying.

"Today's child is tomorrow's citizen" is the saying.If the child gets a good education,he has a bright future.
He will surely rise up and go to the highest position in the society if he is wise and educated.He can also get
a very good job and a good way of making his living.

Even if you have wealth,that can be stolen or destroyed by fire or any other mishap.But education is different.Nobody can steal it.Nobody can rob or grab it.This shows how important education is.

We must do our utmost to study from our childhood.There are poor parents who cannot afford to spend for their children's education.But the child should,even without a proper breakfast,go to school regularly and do his studies without a break.If his parents cannot afford to buy the necessary books and pen.pencils,or instrument boxes,should  try to borrow them from his friends or anybody who is willing to lend.The obedience to elders is necessary for every child. He should also obey his teachers and seniors.The person with a sound education is highly respected by the society.He shines throughout his life.

If a person has no proper education,he will have to do manual work and there will be no good place for him in the society.More frequently he is looked down by the people and also by his friends.That is why we, from our childhood,should try to get a very good education.
