Lesson taught by dream

                               Lesson taught by dream

Long ago, there was a village. In the village, femine was there. As a result people are not having water for their work. But the head of village is a wealthy man. He had a well inside his house. Surprise thing is, eventhough there is  femine, in the well there is plenty of water.
People came near head of village, requested him that they  will use the water of his well. Greedy as he is, he said that if they want to use water, they must pay for it. People had no other option they agreed cursing the head. Head was happy.
In night, he had a dream. He was riding his horse. He came across a desert. His horse had wound itself some how and could not be fit for riding. Head left horse there itself. He started to  walk in desert. In some time, because of sunrays, he felt thirsty.
But there is nothing to drink. He started to walk again with difficulty. There he saw gold coins. He filled his pockets with them. After that he found diamonds on the way. He regretted that he would have brought more bags so that he can carry all of them.
He started walking. He found skeletons. Then he realised that these are of merchants who were passing the desert. Because of heat, all of them died and their wealth is here itself. He got scared that the same situation may happen to him.
Then he woke up from his dream. He realised that god taught him a lesson by the dream. He vowed that he will allow people to use well water without charging money and  he will start helpimg needy.
