The Precious Present
Once there was a boy … Who listened to an old man. And, thus, began to learn about The precious present. “it is a present because it is a gift,” the contented man explained. “And it is precious because anyone who receives such a present is happy forever.” “Gosh ! “ the little boy exclaimed. “I hope someone gives me the precious present. Maybe I’ll get it for Christmas.” The boy ran off to play. And the old man smiled. He liked to watch the little boy play. He saw the smile on the youngster’s face. And heard him laughing as he swung from a nearby tree. The boy was happy. And it was a joy to see. The old man also liked to watch the boy work He even rose early on Saturday mornings To watch the little labourer mow The lawn across the street. The boy actually whistled while he worked. The little child was happy no matter what he was doing. It was, indeed, a joy to behold. When he thought about what the old man had said, the boy thought he understood. He knew about presents. Like the bicycle he got for his birthday and the gifts he found under the tree on Christmas morning. But as the boy thought more about it, he knew. The joy of toys never lasts forever. The boy began to feel uneasy. “What then,” he wondered, “is the precious present ? What could possibly make me happy forever ?” He found it difficult to even imagine the answer. And so he returned to ask the old man. “Is the present a magical ring ? One that I might put on my finger and make all my wishes come true ? “ “No,” he was told. * THE PRECIOUS PRESENT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WISHING * As the boy grew older he continued to wonder. He went to the old man. “Is the precious present a flying carpet ? “ he inquired. “One that I could get on and go any place that I like ? “ “No,” the man quietly replied. * WHEN YOU HAVE THE PRECIOUS PRESENT YOU WILL BE PERFECTLY CONTENT TO BE WHERE YOU ARE. * The boy was becoming a young man now, and felt a bit foolish for asking. But he was uncomfortable. He began to see that he Was not achieving what he wanted. “Is the precious present,” he slowly ventured, “a sunken treasure ? Perhaps rare gold coins buried by pirates long ago ? “ “No, young man,” the old man told him “it is not,” * THE RICHNES IS RARE, INDEED, BUT … THE WEALTH OF THE PRESENT COMES ONLY FROM ITSELF. * The young man thought for a moment Then he became annoyed. “You told me,” the young man said, “that anyone who receives such a present would be happy forever. I never had such a gift as a child. “ “I’m afraid you don’t understand,” the old man responded. * YOU ALREADY KNOW WHAT THE PRECIOUS PRESENT IS. YOU ALREADY KNOW WHERE TO FIND IT. AND YOU ALREADY KNOW HOW IT CAN MAKE YOU HAPPY. YOU KNEW IT BEST WHEN YOU WERE A SMALL CHILD. YOU HAVE SIMPLY FORGOTTEN. * ההמשך יבוא ...
