Our Loves

find what we can learn from this story!


   One day, a man stopped at a flower shop to order some flowers. He wanted to send it to his mother who lived far in another town through a delivery company. Meanwhile, he was looking at a sad young girl who was sitting in front of the flower shop. He asked her what was wrong, and she replied, "I wanted to buy a red rose for my mother, but my money isn't enough." The man smiled and said, "come on in with me. I'll buy you a rose." He bought the little girl a rose, and he ordered for his own mother flowers too.
   After buying a rose flower for the girl, the man offered the girl a ride to her home. She said, "Yes, please! You can take me to my mother." She directed him to a cemetery. The girl placed the rose on her mother's fresh grave. Knowing the girl's mother had died, the man realized that he must show his love to his mother while she was still alive. Then the man returned to the flower shop. He canceled the flower delivery order, picked up the rose flowers and drove to reach his mother's house.



I learned that : I must show my love to my mother (and father too).

Bad Things May Bring Good Things

A STORY, MAY HAS A MORAL VALUE (or maybe more than one)


   One day a big ship wrecked near a small island. The only survivor of the shipwreck washed up on a small, empty island. He prayed for God to rescue him, and every day he watched the horizon for help, but no one seemed coming. He built a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from the bad weather and to keep his few possessions. One day, after looking for food, he arrived home and find his little hut on fire, the smoke rolling up to the sky. The bad thing had happened; he lost everything. He was very sad. "God, how could you do this to me!" he cried.
   Early the next day, however, he was awakened by the sound of a ship that was approaching the island. It had come to rescue him. "How did you know I was here?" asked the weary man to his rescuers. "We saw your smoke signal," they replied. The man thanked God for that.


moral value: Bad things may bring good things, never regret anything happened

a Farmer Who Was Saved By a Goose

JUST A STORY THAT HAS A MORAL VALUE (maybe more than one moral value)

a Farmer Who Was Saved By a Goose

   Long time ago a remote village, in central China, was inhabited mainly with farmers and hunters.

   One day, a poor farmer lost his entire livestock because of flood. He prayed to God for help or his family would die of starvation.

   Few days later, an old man with long grey beard, passed by his house took pity on him. He gave him a goose and said, " I don't have any expensive thing to give you and hope this goose will help you to ease your hardship."

   A week later to almost surprise the farmers found an egg in his yard. This wasn't ordinary egg. It was a golden egg. He was suddenly overcome with joy.

   Thereafter, his livelihood had rapidly improved, but the farmer had forgotten his earlier hard-ship. He became lazy, arrogant, and spendthrift.

   Strangely, the goose only laid one golden egg every six month. The greedy farmer lost his patient and slaughtered his goose thinking there were plenty of golden eggs inside its stomach.

   Though he very much regretted for his foolishness, it's already too late.

moral value : It is useless to regret what happened.
