"Short Stories: The Art of Crafting Awe-Inspiring Worlds in Just a Few Words"
In ancient India, there lived a very kind merchant. He used to donate money to poor people and always helped his friends. That merchant one day lost all his money and his fame along with the money. His friends started ignoring him. Tired of all this, one night he thought, “I have lost everything, no one is with me. I must die."
Thinking of this he fell into a deep sleep. While sleeping he saw a dream. In the dream a monk said to him, “Tomorrow I will come to your door. You will have to hit my head with a stick. I will turn into a golden statue." It was almost morning. The merchant woke up and started thinking about the dream.
Then after some time, a monk knocked on the door of the house. The merchant called the monk inside. The merchant hit the monk on the head with a stick and the monk immediately turned into a golden idol. A neighbor who was passing by saw all this.
The greedy neighbor decided to copy the merchant. Next day the neighbor went to an ashram and requested some monks to come to his house to explain a difficult book. The monks accepted his request.
The next day many monks came to the neighbor's house. He closed the door of his house and started hitting the monks on the head with a stick. When not a single monk turned into a golden idol, the neighbor was disappointed.
The neighbor was imprisoned for the crime of attacking the monks. The neighbor blamed the merchant for his act. The king called the merchant to the court. The merchant told the king everything about his dream. He said, “Maharaja, I did not ask the neighbor to attack the monks. The neighbor should have thought about the consequences before doing this stupidity.
The king agreed with the merchant, so he freed the merchant and ordered the soldiers to put the foolish neighbor in jail.
