In a small village nestled on the slopes of a mountain, lived a farmer named Budi. Budi was a man who lived a simple life. His house was made of wood with a thatched roof, and the land he cultivated was his only source of livelihood.
Every morning, Budi woke up before dawn to head to his field. He worked hard, chopping wood, tilling the soil, and planting seeds. Despite his simple life, Budi was always grateful for what he had. To him, every drop of sweat shed was a blessing.
One day, as Budi was on his way back from the field, he encountered a wealthy tourist who had gotten lost in the forest. The tourist had lost his way and had no food or shelter. Without hesitation, Budi offered his help. He invited the tourist to his home, provided him with food, and a place to stay for the night.
For several days, the tourist stayed with Budi. He was fascinated by the farmer's simple life and the happiness that radiated from within him. The tourist began to realize that material wealth was not everything. Budi's simple life made him feel richer than ever before.
After the tourist returned home, he carried with him valuable lessons about the simplicity of life. He began to reassess his life priorities and sought happiness in simple things, being grateful for what he already had.
Budi continued to live in the same way as before, without feeling lacking or envious of others' lives. For him, happiness lay in simplicity, gratitude, and the kindness he always extended to others.
