The 'Old Horse'

Muhammed Noushil MP

Once upon a time, there was a poor man and a rich man. The rich man was the neighbour of the poor man. Poor man's dream was to possess a horse because he likes it very much. At that time, the rich man possessed many horses and he attacked the horses very cruelly.

One day, while the poor man was walking by the house of the rich man, he saw that there were no foods on the vessel and the rich man was beating his horses. He felt so sad and requested a horse from the rich man. But the rich man declined and shouted to get off from there!

At night, the poor man had a dream that he was traveling on a horse. Suddenly he woke up and prayed for Almighty for some time. In the afternoon, when he was walking through the road, he saw that the rich man dropped out one of his horses as it was very hungry as well as tired. Then the poor man requested him for the tired house, so he accepted his request. The poor man gave it some water and food. As a result of being non-hungry, the horse woke up and traveled to his house with the horse. The poor man was very happy as same like his wife because he got a powerful and beautiful horse.

Once a day, the rich man saw his old horse riding faster with the poor man and thought that was his mistake!
