Listen Carefully . . .

                                  Listen Carefully . . .

Ramappa is a well known person in the village. He is also the sarpanch of village. He is the owner of coconut farm , arecanut farm etc.  He is also having many acres of paddy fields too . We can say that he is a wealthy man.
Ramappa had a big room for collecting his ripe crops. He was collecting all the yield that he got in that room. Once he was seen by the villagers standing near the room , looking worried.
Fellow villagers asked him the reason. Ramappa explained ---- he had a large clock with him that he wanted to take it to house. As it was rainy season , he took a break and entered the room with the clock. He had put it in one corner and went to inspect the already got yield.
Finally , he has finished inspecting. But now he can not remember the place where he had kept the clock. Since the room is full , it is difficult for him to search and now he is worried that he has to wait till the room become empty.
Villagers assured him of their help and all of them started searching for clock. But it was in vain. It was becoming dark too. Hence they gave up their effort and consoled Ramappa that one or the other day , he will get back the clock.
All of them returned including Ramappa. Ramappa was cursing his bad luck. At that time, a small boy came near him and said him that he will find the clock. Ramappa was about to laugh . All the elder people have searched and they could not locate the place of clock and what can a small boy do? But small boy insisted and finally Ramappa agreed.
Small boy entered the room. It was now dark and surroundings are in silence. He switched on the lamp and was dumbfounded by seeing the yield which was collected there. Now even he was in doubt about his mission.
He didnt know what to do. He stood silently. He was observing the corners. Then came the sound Tic .... Tic...
It was very small voice of clock tickling. Small boy focused on that. He went in the direction of sound. There it was ... The clock.
He came outside the room holding the clock. Ramappa too was standing near the door of room. By seeing the boy and the clock in his hand , Ramappa was very happy.

MORAL : Many problems can be solved in a relaxed mind.
