Navtej Kohli tells a beautiful story about a little boy's perspective and how relevant it is for us as humans, to understand and look at things, the way he did.
Once a boy went to a shop with his mother. The shop keeper looked at the small cute child and showed him a bottle with sweets and said "Dear Child..u can take the sweets"… but the child didnt take. The shop keeper was surprised.. such a small child he is and why is he not taking the sweets from the bottle. Again he said take the sweets…
Now mother also heard that and said.."Son! Take the sweets."
yet he didnt take…The shopkeeper seeing the child not taking the sweets…he himself took the sweets and gave to the child. The child was happy to get two hands full of sweets.
When returned to home Mother asked child," Why didnt you take the sweets… when shop keeper told you to take?"
Child replies… "Mom! my hands are very small and if i take the sweets I can only take few.. but now you see when uncle gave with his bighands, how many more sweets i got!"
Moral:When we take we may get little but when God gives… HE gives us morebeyond our expectations. More than what we can hold.
