Lost in Desert!

In a village there lived a cute little boy, very playful and naughty. He did decently well in his academics. You can always find a bright grin in his face. Come what may he always appears cheerful and smiling.

But then he was not really happy within himself. There was some unexpressed and deep fear in him, which was killing him day in and day out. He was such a kind of boy who postpones his pleasures for the sake of his goals and aims. Even the smallest happiness in life, he kept postponing. When he was in his high school he wanted a pair of trousers, which all his classmates had bought and which was in big fashion those days, but then he said to himself that he is not going to buy any new fashionable things or dress until he becomes a graduate. He would try to keep himself satisfied with what his parents would get him.

One good character of his is that he respects friendship and would do anything for a friend. Many of his friends took advantage of this character of his and exploited him to the maximum. Being aware of their character too he would say “If he does so, I needn’t do the same thing to him, then what’s the big difference between him and me??”

At last with fire in his belly he graduated!! So he decided to treat himself with the pair of trousers, which he wanted to buy long ago. But then, now he felt it was too childish for his age to wear such dresses and now that he is graduated he should be professionally dressed. Thus he never got the trousers, which he liked so much.

Did things change for him? Not a bit!! Newer challenges came up in life for. He had high aims and always was in thirst to achieve something in life. But he was crippled from going in his path of career due to lots of other factors and his family situations. One fine day, he wanted to look back the path he came by and wanted to know where he was standing in his life. But to his surprise he had achieved nothing that he wanted to. He was shocked and now started cribbing that he had been cheating himself all these days that he neither enjoyed life nor he achieved anything he wanted to.

With heavy heart he started roving through the rest of his life like a person who lost his way in a desert!!

Moral that I inferred from the story is "Take life as it comes. Never postpone you joy and enjoyment for something, you may end up in not having the same fun again for your lifetime!!!"
