Patience

There was this old man sitting under a mango tree looking with temptation at the green mangoes.A wizard passed by and saw the man looking at the mangoes with expectation.

He asked him," Old man what are you thinking".

" I am thinking when will the mangoes become ripe".

"When do you think they will become ripe ?"

" I don`t know, do you ?"

" No, I do not know, but I can make them ripe with my magic" and he flashed his magic wand and some ripe mangoes fell into the lap of the old man.The old man was very happy but no sooner he had one mango, his craving for them vanished.

" Old man, what happened? You seem not to like them",the wizard asked him.

The old man looked at him and said,"They do not taste so good".

"Rightly so",replied the wizard " since they have not taken their time to develop their taste naturally.Do you still want me to make all the mangoes ripe ?"

"No", replied the old man. "I will wait for them to get ripe on their own."

Moral of the Story

Be patient and keep doing good work.Let the process of growth happen on its own.It will some day.
