Where there is a will , there is a way

                                      Where there is a will , there is a way

It was the time of famine in the village. Shambhu was not having any work. All he knew was to work in field. But now , no sign of rain and work in fields too.
Shambhu decided to go to nearby village in search of food . His children were starving. His wife is sobbing , seeing the plight of children.
Shambhu decided to find some food . Likewise , he went for nearby village. But he dont know anyone there. Who will give the work for him?
Shambhu reached the nearby village. He saw children playing in ground. He was very happy by seeing the children.
Their parents were also nearby . But they were busy talking. Shambhu sat there seeing the children. Then he noticed one snake which was making noise in the bush.
Children out of curiosity , followed the snake . Snake was about catch its prey. But because of the noise made by children , prey escaped.
Snake was very angry. It figured out the trouble caused by children. Snake came near children. By seeing the snake , very near, children started shouting.
Now , mothers came to know what had happened . They were asking for help with everyone. But no one was ready. Shambhu came forward.
He thought , one or the other day everyone has to die. He came near the snake. Snake was hissing. Without a second thought , Shambhu caught the snake by its tail.
Shambhu thought about his own children who were hungry. He took the snake to a far away place  Then he released it and watched it going inside a crack.
Mothers were behind him . They saw what Shambhu did. One of them said he must not had released snake ,instead he must have killed it.
Shambhu replied "Snake was catching its prey. It was not having any intention to harm children. If it were his own children , he would do the same . When we dont have the ability to give life , we must not kill also . "
People were influenced by his talking . They offered money. But Shambhu refused saying that money which was obtained without work done , will make a man lazy.
People asked about whereabouts of Shambhu and offered him the work of servant in their house. Shambhu realised if one has a will to work, opportunity will come by itself.
