Four Finger Patience – Moral story

Lesson Of Patience through Four Finger Of Wood

Once there lived a farmer with his family. The farmer lived a happy life with his family by earning from his own land. The farmer was making his land ready for his next session of cultivation. The only issue the farmer faced was insufficient amount of water for his cultivation. The farmer after discussion with his family came to a conclusion to dig a well nearby his land for water. This idea could ease his task and improve his cultivation too.

Digging a well

The farmer started digging a well nearby. He worked hard to dig the well through day and night. He was quite upset as water never peeped out as he was digging out, but he did not lose confidence and further dug the well by skipping his lunch and dinner too. At last he completely lost confidence as water did not crawl in. He was upset since his hard work was not rewarded. His family members boosted him and advised him not to lose hope and continue digging as water will surely peer out.  He opened ears to their advice and started to dig out day and night. But at last there was not a single drop of water from the well. He was completely exhausted, lost patience and went home hoping that everything was a waste of time.

How did water comeout

Beside the well was a large piece of wood which was the size of five fingers long. One dark night a man was walking beside the well. By mistake he hit his leg hard on the wood, and it hurt him a lot as the piece of wood was very strong. He became very angry and with all his frustration and anger he lifted the piece of wood, and with full energy threw the wood inside the well. It is also important to mention that the man was strong enough. The moment the man threw the wood, it went and hit the ground hard nearly four fingers deep long. And doyou know what happened.

Farmer being happy

Water sprouted out from the well as soon as the wood was hit down and raised to a certain level. When the farmer heard about this, he rushed to his well and was happy to see water rising up from the well that he dug. He was astonished with happiness and filled with tears as his hard work worked out. He inquired the men about what happened and learned that just a four fingers feet wood was able to get water out from the well. The water was utilised by the farmer and all the nearby people too.

Moral

The farmer worked till the last stretch and lost patience, if he had patience he would have succeeded earlier. In the same way one should have patience in life for any task in order to reach success in a honest way.
