When times and situations change, everything will change by itself.


Once upon a time, the king of a country accompanied his minister on a tour of the country. On the way, a farmer was ploughing the land with a plough when suddenly a snake came near his feet.

Shocked to see this, the king shouted, farmer, there is a deadly snake near you, run away. But he looked back as if nothing had happened and without any fear caught the snake with his hand and threw it away.

Amazed the king and the farmer asked how you fearlessly caught and threw away the deadly rattlesnake, and if it had bitten you it would have been a danger to your life.

The farmer said, "I have faced so many great dangers while ploughing this land, and compared to all that, this danger does not seem big to me." What greater danger is here than a deadly snake biting you, asked the king.

He said, O king, if I don't work hard on this land, my family will starve and my life will be surrounded by poverty. Only if I work day and night without worrying about anything, my family can live on three meals which is why I work hard here. He laughed and said that I cannot live if I am afraid of snakes.

The king, who was pleased to see this, said to the minister, "Donate fertile lands to this farmer and remove his poverty." A lot of land was gifted to this farmer, as the king had said. After some years the king and the minister came again in the same way and they had a wish to meet the farmer and know how he is now.

The farmer, too, was sitting under a tree, and when he saw the king and the minister, he immediately ran and bowed down. Seeing that he had a big bandage on his hand, the king asked what happened to your hand and why he was wearing it.

Sir, a thorn has scratched my hand and it has become a big sore. The doctor bandaged the wound and told me to rest for a week without going to any work. Amazed king and minister, that day he was not afraid of the deadly snake but today he rests for a week with bandages because the small thorn has torn his arm. 

The king asked, what caused this farmer to make such a big change? The minister said, O king, he was so poor that day that even a snake was familiar to him. Today he has become wealthy so even if a small thorn pricks him he treats himself like a snake bitten. The minister said that everything will change by itself when times and situations change.
