Short Story

Once a boy went to shop
with his mother. The shop keeper looked at the small cute child and showed him
a bottle with sweets and said 'Dear Child.. u can take the sweets... but the
child did not take.

The shop keeper was surprised..
such a small child he is and why is he not taking the sweets from the bottle.
Again he said take the sweets..

Now his mother also heard that
and said.. ''beta take the sweets..'' yet he did not take.

The shopkeeper saw that the
child was not taking the sweets.. So he himself took the sweets and gave to the
child.. The child was happy to get two hands full of sweets..

When they returned home, his
Mother asked him.. Why did not you take the sweets when shop keeper told you to
take..

The child said.. ''Mom, my hands
are very small and if i take the sweets from my hands then i can only take
few.. but now you see when uncle gave with his big hands, how many more sweets
i got!!''

Moral:

When we take, we may get
little but when God gives, he gives us more than our expectations.... more than
what we can hold
