Stories and all! - Village boy and the City boy!

Stories and all! - Village boy and the City boy!


There was a boy in city. He had to lead a structured life – getting up on time, get dressed, go to school, come home do homework and go to tuition, then to music and swimming classes. It was a hurry-burry life that he led. He was always was behind time. There was always something to achieve, learn or prove.



One day his father had to visit a village on official duty. The city boy accompanied his father to the village. He saw green fields stretching for miles on end. Such a slow and noiseless life what with no traffic and crowd there! Everyone knew everyone. They called all by named and smiled at everyone. No one was a stranger there. Children there were playing with marbles and bathing in the river. They played with various farm animals like cows, hens, chicks, ducks and dogs. There were swing tied to trees and anyone could swing anytime of the day. They needed so less money and yet were so healthy, content, happy, carefree and playful. They slept under the stars.




Next day he left for the city. Village boy walked towards his village and city boy towards his home. When they finally returned to their respective homes, they could never ever be happy again as before!

Why is it that we always like something we dont have? Why cant we see the beauty and opportunity in what is around us?
