Long ago, loved a poor farmer in a village. He was poor and was always short of money. His neighbors and relatives were well off and he was jealous of them and because of this, he didn\u2019t get along with them.\n

He had a small farm in which he grew some vegetables to feed himself and his family. As the farmer grew old, he found it very difficult to work on a farm as he didn\u2019t have any bull to plow the field.\n

One day, he was returning tired from his farm. On his way, he met an old man.\n

Seeing him, the old man said, \u201cWhat\u2019s the matter? You seem very sad?\u201d\n

The farmer replied, \u201cWhat should I say… I don\u2019t have any money. Everyone around me has everything and I don\u2019t. I have to work in fields but it is getting difficult to work, if I had a bull, then I could easily do all the work of plowing, sowing, and irrigating the field.\u201d\n

The old man had a bull with him. He gave that bull to the farmer and said, \u201cOk. This bull is yours from today itself. You take that bull home with you but after you reach home, send your neighbor to me.\u201d\n

Farmer said, \u201cI am very happy to know that you will give me bull but why do you want to meet my neighbor?\u201d\n

The old man replied, \u201cSo that I can give him two bulls.\u201d\n

Hearing the old man’s words, the farmer started feeling angry within. He became jealous and said, \u201cBut my neighbor has everything. If you want to give two bulls to my neighbor then I don\u2019t even want one.\u201d\n

The old man pulled the bull towards him and said, \u201cDo you know what your problem is?\n

Your problem is not poverty. It is jealousy. If you would have been satisfied with whatever you are getting then you won\u2019t have got unhappy with what your neighbors or relatives get.\n

If you hadn\u2019t got jealous then you would probably have become the happiest person in the world.\u201d\n

Saying this old man disappeared into the forest. The farmer realized his mistake and vowed that he would never get jealous of others and would have good intentions for everyone.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
