Articles: Short Stories | Never Miss
- Mr. Hemanth Naidu
| |
The story is told of a young man who wished to marry the farmer's
beautiful daughter. He went to the farmer to ask his permission. The farmer looked
him over and responded, 'Son, go stand out in that field and I'm going to
release three bulls, one at a time. If you can catch the tail of any one
of the three bulls, you can marry my daughter.'
The young man stood in the pasture awaiting the first bull. The barn door
opened and out ran the biggest, meanest-looking bull he had ever seen. He
decided that one of the next bulls had to be a better choice than this
one, so he ran over to the side and let the bull pass through the pasture out
the back gate.
The barn door opened again. Unbelievable. He had never seen anything so
big and fierce in his life. It stood - pawing the ground, grunting, slinging
slobber - as it eyed him. Whatever the next bull was like, it had to be a
better choice than this one. He ran to the fence and let the bull pass
through the pasture, out the back gate.
The door opened a third time. A smile came across his face. This was the
weakest, scrawniest little bull he had ever seen. This one was his bull.
As the bull came running by, he positioned himself just right and jumped at
just the exact moment. He grabbed... but the bull had no tail!
Life is full of opportunities. Some will be easy to take advantage of,
some will be difficult. But once we let them pass (often in hopes of something
better), those opportunities may never again be available.
May you take advantage of the doors God opens for you this day!
