Once upon a time there was a man who fell in love with a young girl and believed she also loves him most.
He decided to send an expensive gift to the girl through his friend and instructed him to tell this is a gift from person you love most.

His friend gave the gift exactly as instructed.
Girl got confused so she asked with name of three people if anyone of them have sent the gift, expanded to five, seven, finally expanded the list with thirteen names.
Finding out that his friend does not figure in either of the lists he returned without delivering the gift and told his friend to forget the girl.

This is the story associated with a proverb in Hindi
“Na teen Mein Na terah mein” (Neither in three nor in thirteen)

So #irrespective of #gender a question came in mind.
Which number should be last for one to decide not to deliver the gift?

Is this proverb not hinting us to decide priorities in life also?

#Love, #Family, #Work, #Parents, #Friends, #Children, #Hobbies
If some day #God sends a #gift through #messenger who asks some question we have no doubt about what is our first priority.
