Story Of The Day

Three Feet Away

During the gold rush, a man who had been mining in Colorado for several months quit his job, as he hadn’t struck gold yet and the work was becoming tiresome.  He sold his equipment to another man who resumed mining where it had been left off. The new miner was advised by his engineer that there was gold only three feet away from where the first miner stopped digging.

The engineer was right, which means the first miner was a mere three feet away from striking gold before he quit.

When things start to get hard, try to persevere through the adversity. Many people give up on following their dreams because the work becomes too difficult, tedious, or tiresome–but often, you’re closer to the finish line than you may think, and if you push just a little harder, you will succeed.

Topic – Many Colours

Sukanya’s Creation

It is a girl in the background of a colourful sky . She is lost in the colourful sky. The beauty of the sky makes her lost. She is thinking, “The background of fireworks light the sky. This is the the beauty of the day.” But she doesn’t know she is the beauty of the day. Her eyes are the fire of the day. She is the one, who is the crescent of the sky. – Sukanya.

Story Of The Day

Puppies For Sale

A shop owner placed a sign above his door that said: “Puppies For Sale.”

Signs like this always have a way of attracting young children, and to no surprise, a boy saw the sign and approached the owner; 

“How much are you going to sell the puppies for?” he asked.

The store owner replied, “Anywhere from $30 to $50.”

The little boy pulled out some change from his pocket. “I have $2.37,” he said. “Can I please look at them?”

The shop owner smiled and whistled. Out of the kennel came Lady, who ran down the aisle of his shop followed by five teeny, tiny balls of fur.

One puppy was lagging considerably behind. Immediately the little boy singled out the lagging, limping puppy and said, “What’s wrong with that little dog?”

The shop owner explained that the veterinarian had examined the little puppy and had discovered it didn’t have a hip socket. It will always limp. It will always be lame.

The little boy became excited. “That is the puppy that I want to buy.”

The shop owner said, “No, you don’t want to buy that little dog. If you really want him, I’ll just give him to you.”

The little boy got quite upset. He looked straight into the store owner’s eyes, pointing his finger, and said;

“I don’t want you to give him to me. That little dog is worth every bit as much as all the other dogs and I’ll pay full price. In fact, I’ll give you $2.37 now, and 50 cents a month until I have him paid for.”

The shop owner countered, “You really don’t want to buy this little dog. He is never going to be able to run and jump and play with you like the other puppies.”

To his surprise, the little boy reached down and rolled up his pant leg to reveal a badly twisted, crippled left leg supported by a big metal brace. He looked up at the shop owner and softly replied, “Well, I don’t run so well myself, and the little puppy will need someone who understands!”

Story Of The Day

The Blind Girl

There was a blind girl who hated herself purely for the fact she was blind. The only person she didn’t hate was her loving boyfriend, as he was always there for her. She said that if she could only see the world, she would marry him.

One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her – now she could see everything, including her boyfriend. Her boyfriend asked her, “now that you can see the world, will you marry me?”

The girl was shocked when she saw that her boyfriend was blind too, and refused to marry him. Her boyfriend walked away in tears, and later wrote a letter to her saying: “Just take care of my eyes dear.”

When our circumstances change, so does our mind. Some people may not be able to see the way things were before, and might not be able to appreciate them. There are many things to take away from this story, not just one.

The Lockdown Tag 2020 2!

Hey Glowsticks!! I got tagged by Tia from Tall Blonde Tales for this tag! I’ve already been tagged for this once, but I’ll do it again!

Rules

  1. Thank the person who nominated you.
  2. Answer the blogger’s questions.
  3. Nominate other bloggers.

  

Tia’s Questions

Tia had passed on her tagger’s questions too, but I had already answered them.

What have you learnt/become grateful for during the lockdown?

I’ve learnt how much doctors, nurses, police officers and everyone else suffers. I’ve become grateful to them. I’ve also become grateful to technology more. Because of it, I can attend my classes virtually and I’m connected to my family, friends and the world.

How do you think the world should learn from this pandemic so that things are better in the future? 

Even if there is no pandemic, the world should start taking at least minor precautions, such as being sanitary and hygienic and more. I don’t want a pandemic to occur again. It is said that from the age of 12 to 15, whatever happens to a person, will leave a long lasting effect on them, so, I’ve already been affected by COVID-19, but I don’t want others to be affected like this.

Those were wonderful questions Tia!

I tag all my followers for this tag!!!

Also, Glowsticks, I REACHED 92 FOLLOWERS!!!!! WHOOP WHOOP! ONLY 8 MORE TO GO FOR 100!!!!! YAY!!!!

One more thing, I changed my sign-off, since I started calling you guys Glowsticks!

On God’s Time

A man walked to the top of a hill to talk to God.

The man asked, “God, what’s a million years to you?” and God said, “A minute.”

Then the man asked, “Well, what’s a million dollars to you?” and God said, “A penny.”

Then the man asked, “God…..can I have a penny?” and God said, “Sure…..in a minute.”
