Sometimes for a change I like to hear someone else’s story too. Literally! I make my husband tell me some short story. And yea, he has a very nice manner of narrating them. I will put here some stories he tells me (oh yea … he tells the same stories over and over again if I want to hear)
Gavatla undir.
Once there was a mouse who lives in a village. He is very tired of the village now and bored of the life in it. There wasn't enough food to eat and he had to run around a lot everyday for food. And there was a huge cat in the village who always wanted to eat him up. So he decides that thats-it... now he has to go to the city to live forever.
His friend (a city mouse) wants him to come to the city and had tried many times, to make him give up his village life. The city mousse tells him that there is lot of food in the city and he will never have to go hungry. And so he writes a letter to his friend in the city that he is coming to live with him.
He gets in a bus for the city and waits for his stop to come. He gets down at a huge stop in the city and sees huge crowds everywhere. There are too many cars, buses and bicycles on the roads and he finds it very difficult to cross it. Somehow he manages to reach his friends house. His friend is very happy to see him and offers lot of delicious food.
But suddenly they hear lots of purring around them.. cats! They run for their lives and hide into a hole in the wall. To the city mouse this happened everyday but the village mouse is very afraid.
Finally he tells his friend, 'Look brother, I came here because I was afraid of the cat in our village and food was hard to find. But here you have lots of food but so much danger to the life. I am going back to my village where there is only one cat to be afraid of and not so many. I will search my food but live in peace!
Moral: Peace of mind is the best wealth!
