WAIT FOR THAT DAY

It was holiday,two siblings were excited over the yuletide season.
the elder one said to her friend, "i'll put on the best dress that
would send my admirers crazy this xmas and i will take a good
pose shot when my uncle who is a photographer comes".
The younger one cut in and added;
"sister i 'll join you in taking a good shot"
" how dare you compete with me, don't you know your peer group?" snarled the elderly sibling "seems you don't have regards anymore, anyways you wont take a shot with me, go look for your mate," she added. The younger one felt embarrassed and angrily replied- "i will take a snap shot with you." "you won't" said the sister. soon they began to quarrel and a fight ensued. An old woman watching close, intervened and settled the dispute.
she advised they should be patient and at least wait for that day
to come.
lesson
Sometimes we constantly fight over issues that are not weighty
and fail to realize the cost.
Always think the aftermath of your action before you act.

IN UNITY WE STAND, IN DIVISION WE FALL

A father had three sons who were always at logger head with each other; they perpetually quarrel with themselves and seldom in good term.

He tried all he could to ensure the children stopped this unruly behavior among themselves and live in peace with his daily exhortation but to no avail.

THE 17 CAMEL STORY

long ago, an old man who lived  with his three sons passed away. He had 17 camels he rents out for shipping in the desert as a means of livelihood for his family. before his demise he shared his will, amongst his three sons.

After all the funeral rites, the three sons read the will. While he divided all the properties he had into three equal parts, he divided the 17 camels in a different way. It wasn’t shared equally among the three as ‘17’ is an odd number and prime number, which cannot be divided.
The deceased old man stated that the eldest son will own half of the 17 camels and the middle one will get the one third of the 17 camels and the youngest one will get his share of camel as one ninth!

All of them were stunned to read the will and questioned how to divide 17 camels as mentioned in the will.
It is neither possible to divide 17 camels and give the half of the 17 camels to the eldest one nor able to divide the camels to the other two sons. They spent several days to divide the camel as mentioned in the will, but none could find the answer.

They finally took this issue to the wise man in their village. The wise man heard the problem and instantly found a solution. He asked them to bring all 17 camels to divide them as intended by their father.

The sons brought the camels to the place. The wise man added a camel owned by him and made it count 18.
Now, he asked the first son to read the will, he get half the camels, which now counts to 18 / 2 – 9 camels! The eldest one got 9 camels as his share.
Remaining camels left – 9 camels
The wise man asked the second son to read the will – he was assigned a share of 1 / 3 of the total camels.

It comes to 18 / 3 – 6 camels. Second son got 6 camels as his share.
Total camels shared by the elder sons – 9 + 6 = 15 camels.
The third son read his share of camel – 1 / 9th of total camels – 18 / 9 = 2 camels.
The youngest one got 2 camels as his share.
Totally there were 9 + 6 + 2 camels shared by the brothers, which counts to 17 camels.
One camel brought by the wise man was taken back.

The wise man solved this problem smartly with this intelligence.
lesson;
In every problem lies a solution. Intelligence is nothing but finding a common ground to solve an issue.
