Without hard work, desired result can not be obtained

                      Without hard work, desired result can not be obtained

Long ago, there lived a couple in China. They were blessed with a baby boy after so many years of marriage.
They were adoring the boy very much. They were not letting him to do any work. They were rich . They could afford servants for small work also. As a result, boy grew up without any common knowledge of world.
Boy turned into a youth. Now , parents were noticing the difference between their son and other boys. They realised their son is not quite intelligent. They thought if he is given proper education, he would become intelligent.
They met a teacher nearby and requested him to teach their son. Teacher agreed. Parents left their son near teacher.
Teacher called the boy and asked him to fetch water from well. But for his surprise, boy had his servants with him. They did the work for him.
Teacher again asked the boy to feed the cows. Again servants did the work for boy. Teacher was annoyed. He thought of teaching the boy , a good lesson.
From next day, he stopped giving boy anything to eat. Boy was very hungry. But teacher was not giving anything to eat.
Soon, boy was unhealthy. He started to suffer from various disease. Hearing the news, his parents rushed to the spot, carrying the medicines and also good food.
Teacher stopped them in the midway and collected all the things , they had brought. He gave the food and also the medicines to servants !
Parents were aghast. Teacher replied " Boy is not doing any work by himself. He is depending on servants for everything. If he is not doing any hardwork, how can he have the knowledge of doing work? Please take away the servants. Then boy will get the knowledge of world by doing various work and he will become intelligent too."
Parents agreed and boy learnt the art of living by himself.
