Okay... I wrote this comic just for fun, using wash watercolor techniques, mixed with grey markers and a brush pen as it finishing touch... manually drawn on paper.

Enjoy reading...

A man and his small hut!


Once upon a time, there was a man who lived in a wooden hut that he inherited from his father. The shelter was at the end of the village and surrounded by few animal farms. However, he wanted to have a more spacious place to stay. For him, the hut was too small.

"So sad" he sighed... "I couldn't take it anymore"...

He decided to meet a wise old man in the village of wisdom, seek a piece of advice.

After a long walk, finally, he managed to find the wise old man.

"Please sir, I'm not happy, I wish to have a bigger and a spacious place to stay, will you help me?"

The wise old man told him to bring a goat inside his house and try to live with it for the next three days. The word from the old man puzzled him but considering there would be magic behind the advice, he followed.

After three days, he was still not happy. He met the old man again and told him the condition worsened than before.

Not only he was losing more space to a goat. He also lost his sleep.

This time around, the old man advised him to bring in another goat. Puzzled again... but still followed. The next three days he was accompanied by two goats in his small hut.

"It worsened"... he complains. "Your advice didn't solve my problem" he raised his voice.

Then the old man gave him his next advice... this time he wanted him to add one more goat in addition to two which were already there plus a cow, living together inside the house for another next three days.

He wasn't happy with the advice but still hoping for a miracle.

Finally, he couldn't handle it anymore... He was mad and angry and shouted loud, "You crazy old fool! I'm not taking advice from you anymore!"

"The cow and all goats must get out from my house!"

"Good!... that suppose to be my last advice to you", the wise old man replied.

Finally, the man got his space in the hut back. This time around, he no longer feels that his hut was small.

THE END.

Moral: Be thankful for what we have instead of whining about not having what we want.
