One night, just before the shopkeeper closed for
the day, a dog came into the shop.
There was a bag in its mouth. The bag had a list
of items to be bought and money. The
shopkeeper took the money and kept the items
in the bag.
Immediately, The dog picked up the bag of items
and left. The shopkeeper was surprised and went
behind the dog to see who the owner was.
The dog waited at the bus stop. After sometime,
a bus came and the dog got into the bus. As
soon as the conductor came, it moved forward
to show his neck belt which had money and the
address as well. The conductor took the money
and put the ticket in his neck belt again.
When it reached the destination, the dog went to
the front and wagged his tail indicating that he
wanted to get down. The moment the bus
stopped, it got down. The shopkeeper was still
following it.
The dog knocked on the door of a house with its
legs. Its owner came from inside and beat it with
a stick.
The shocked shopkeeper asked him "why are you
beating the dog?", to which the owner replied,
"he disturbed my sleep. It could have taken the
keys with it."
This is the truth of life. There is no end to the
expectations people have from you. The moment
you go wrong, they start pointing at our
mistakes.
All the good done in the past are quickly
forgotten. Any small mistake committed then
gets magnified.
This is the nature of this material world!
