Story Story....
A certain man was going through a forest. He became tired and sat under a tree to take some rest, near the tree were some bushes. There in the bush he heard a whistle, he got up and went to look, he saw a bottle lying under a bush where the noise from the whistle was coming from, right inside the bottle.
The man opened the bottle to look inside, Immediately plenty of black smoke evacuated from the bottle reaching high to the sky. In a little while, the smoke turned into a giant ghost, as big and tall as iroko tree.
It was a scary red ghost that had red eyes, large golden earrings in his ears. The ghost roared, “Give me some work or I shall eat you up.” The man was very frightened and he stammered “W-w-what sort of work do you want from me?” he asked the ghost, “Any kind of work,” the ghost replied. “You have let me out from the bottle, so you must have to give me work steadily, day and night. And the moment you stop giving me work, I shall eat you up.”
The Man filled with intensive fear said to him, “Take me to my house,”. The ghost picked up the man, In a minute time he reached the man’s house. Again he said, “Give me some work to do or I shall eat you up.” This man saw this as a big opportunity and told the ghost “Make me a big palace,”. In few minutes time the palace was ready. The ghost said again loudly, “Give me some more work to do or I shall eat you up!!!.”
“Get me plenty of gold and jewels,” the man said, Soon the gold and jewels were set. “Give me some work or I shall eat you up,” the ghost said, “Get me nice clothes to wear.” At once the ghost presented the clothes to the man “Give me some work or I shall eat you up,” the ghost said. “Get me some food.” In a second, the man discovered his table was full of various delicacies. He tried to eat, but the continuous work he gives the ghost could not let him eat. The ghost again said, “Give me some work or I shall eat you up.”
The man kept on giving work to the ghost. He could not eat at all. When night came the ghost would not let him sleep. “Give me some work or I shall eat you up,” he said. The man got very worried, asking how could he eat ? How could he sleep? And If he doesn't find more work, the ghost would eat him up.
One day the man came up with an idea. He told the ghost, “Make me a very tall pillar as high as the sky and be real quick.”
In just a few minutes the ghost was back. “The pillar is ready,” he said. “Now give me some work or I shall eat you up.”
The man sad to the ghost “Now listen carefully,” the man said. “Climb up the pillar till you reach the top, then climb down till you reach the earth. Then climb up to the top and come down again, keep doing so till I tell you to stop. And mind you don’t waste any dime time.” The ghost was very excited that he have got so much work to do. He went up the pillar, came down, went up, came down. He went on doing so.
Meanwhile, the man watched him from time to time. Then he went inside relaxed and ate the food the ghost had brought, later on, he went off to sleep. In the morning he got up and went outside to discover the ghost going up and down the pillar all the time, he got satisfied and exhaled "phew".
Days had passed, the ghost kept on going up and down the pillar even at the end of a whole month. He now felt a little tired and demanded “Please sir,” he said to the man, “may I stop now ? I have been going up and down the pillar for a month.” How can you stop ?” the man said angrily. “You cannot stop till I tell you. So keep on going up and down the pillar now!!.”
Another three months had passed, now the ghost was really very tired, he told him “Sir," I can't continue, I must stop now. You can stop on one condition,” the man said. You must go far away from here, and never come back.” The ghost on hearing this promised not to come back.
"Very well, you may stop now. And take away that pillar with you.” The Man said.
The ghost quickly picked up the pillar and ran far away and never came back to trouble the man.
Conclusion
There's a stop to every nonsense in life, if only we can stand to our feet and command a stop to it. Never fail to grab and opportunity and apply wisdom.
