The Foolish Brahman
In India, there are different levels in society. Children are born into the level of their parents, and as they grow up, they cannot change their level. The people at the top level are called Brahmans. This story has to do with a foolish Brahman who wasted his good luck.
One day, an old man wanted to give away a pot of rice. He decided to bring it to the Brahman. The Brahman was very pleased. He knew that he could either eat the rice or sell it.
He went off to the hills with the pot to find a quiet place to think. Then, it began to rain. The Brahman thought he had better find shelter.
The Brahman saw a small house. When he got to the door, he gave it a try and it opened. Inside the little house were many clay pots. The Brahman thought that this must be a potter's house, but he had no idea where the potter was. He sat down and thought about his pot of rice.
The Brahman thought that he could sell the rice. With that money, he could then buy some of the pots in the house. The Brahman then went on to imagine selling those pots for more money. With the money from the pots, he imagined buying nuts and silk and then selling these also.
Next, the Brahman imagined getting married. He would have at least four wives. They could give him a hand in raising all of his children. If he got sick, each of his wives would care for him until he got well again.
The Brahman was very excited! He could not give up the idea of how rich the little pot of rice would make him. He could not sleep, so he got up and began to walk around the room. There was a walking stick hanging up next to the door. He took it down and walked with it. The Brahman was having a good time thinking about his fortune.
The Brahman would get together with all of his wives and children and go on a picnic. He would sit with his most beautiful wife. Then the other wives might start to argue because they were jealous. The Brahman would not allow this! He would punish his wives if they argued in front of him!
With that thought, the Brahman swung the walking stick he was holding. The stick hit several of the pots and broke them. Just then the potter returned. It was the old man who had given him the rice! The old man demanded that the Brahman pay for the pots. If not, he would hand him in to the police. The Brahman had no money, so he was forced to give back the rice as payment and he went away with nothing.

You Are My Life (Lyrics)
@Listen_Closely
O Allah!
You're the light that shines above
You're the reason I never give up
You're The One I try for, live my life for
Give up all I have
You're the melody, You're the key
All the inspiration I need
And when times get tough
I know You'll stand by me
You are the love I need
The One who is guiding me
And You know my destiny
For You are The Light
And You are my life
Oh oh oh
O Allah!
Your words light up my heart
This connection I've felt from the start
I’ll never lose sight of my dreams
Without You where would I be?
And although I feel like I'm
A million miles away from home
I can lose all that I have and when I feel the pain
I know that I can count on You
You are the love I need
The One who is guiding me
And You know my destiny
For You are The Light
And You are my life
Oh oh oh
When I reach the final chapter
I know it’s only You that matters, oh
So I give it my all
‘Cause I’ll stand alone that day
CHORUS:
And You are my life
Oh oh oh
And You are my life
You're the light that shines above
You're the reason I never give up
You're The One I try for, live my life for
Give up all I have
You're the melody, You're the key
All the inspiration I need
And when times get tough
I know You'll stand by me
You are the love I need
The One who is guiding me
And You know my destiny
For You are The Light
And You are my life
Oh oh oh
O Allah!
Your words light up my heart
This connection I've felt from the start
I’ll never lose sight of my dreams
Without You where would I be?
And although I feel like I'm
A million miles away from home
I can lose all that I have and when I feel the pain
I know that I can count on You
You are the love I need
The One who is guiding me
And You know my destiny
For You are The Light
And You are my life
Oh oh oh
When I reach the final chapter
I know it’s only You that matters, oh
So I give it my all
‘Cause I’ll stand alone that day
CHORUS:
And You are my life
Oh oh oh
And You are my life

The Seal's Skin
Have you heard of the story about the man who got married to a seal? He lived alone in his house by the sea, fishing and dreaming of the day he would get married. However, he had trouble with women. In general, he was very shy in front of women. In fact, if any woman talked to him, he would sweat and he could not speak.
One day, the man was walking on the beach in search of a good place to fish. Then he saw a cave. In front of the cave there was a pile of seal skins. The man heard the sound of laughing and singing inside the cave. He had an idea. A seal's skin would be good to wear in case of snow. He helped himself to one of the skins, ran home, and put it in a large box. Then he locked the box with a key.
In the meantime, a naked woman stood outside the cave crying. She could not find her seal skin, and all of her friends and family had left her there.
The man returned to the cave and found the woman crying. He asked her, "Why are you crying?" but she did not say anything. She was very cold.
The man said, "Hold on. I have a blanket. You can wear it to keep yourself warm. Here you are." He gave the woman the blanket. Then the man told the woman that she could stay at his house. They walked back along the beach to his house in silence.
Because the woman did not talk much, the man was very comfortable around her. Soon they fell in love. They got married and lived in harmony with each other for many years.
One day the man was getting ready to go to church in honor of a special holiday. "Hurry up!" he called to his wife.
However, his wife did not feel well. She said, "I want to lie down. You go now. I will catch up with you in just a minute."
The man left. The wife's headache became worse, so she began looking for some medicine. While she was looking, she found the key to the box. Because the man was in a hurry to leave for church, he forgot the key at home. The wife opened the large box. There was her lost seal skin! She held up the skin and cried with happiness.
She ran to the beach, put on her skin, and jumped into the sea. In a moment she was with her seal family again. The man never heard from her again. However, every time the man would go out fishing, a seal would always swim around the boat watching him.

Brer Fox's Shoes
If you ever pay a visit to the south part of the United States, you might hear the stories of Brer Rabbit, Brer Fox, and Brer Bear. In these stories, Brer Rabbit always plays tricks on Brer Fox and Brer Bear. If you pay attention to the story, you might be able to pick out the lesson. These stories are old, but the lessons never go out of date.
Once in a while, Brer Rabbit went shopping. One day, he was on the way to town when Brer Fox chased him. Brer Rabbit hid in an old log. You might think Brer Rabbit would be scared in the log. On the contrary, Brer Rabbit was singing to himself. The singing went on and on. Finally, Brer Fox said, "Come out of that log or I'll tear it apart piece by piece to get you!"
Brer Rabbit told Brer Fox, "On the weekend, Brer Bear goes to the river to catch fish. Then he goes home on foot , with his bag full of fish. If you let me go, I'll show you how to get it."
Brer Fox agreed and they went to the road. Right on time, Brer Bear came walking from the river. Brer Rabbit took off one shoe and put it in the road. Then he hid behind a tree. When Brer Bear saw the shoe he said to himself, "I should pick it up. But, of course, I don't have the other shoe." So he kept walking.
Brer Rabbit put on his shoe again and ran ahead to another part of the road. He was out of breath from running. He put the other shoe in the road. When Brer Bear saw the shoe in the road he put down his bag of fish to walk back and get the other shoe. Brer Rabbit picked up his shoe and the bag of fish and ran to meet Brer Fox.
The next weekend, Brer Fox waited by the road on purpose to trick Brer Bear again. Brer Fox put his shoe in the road and hid behind a tree. A few hours later, right on schedule, Brer Bear came walking from the river. As he was passing by the tree, he saw the shoe in the road. Brer Bear picked it up, put it in his bag, and kept walking.
Brer Fox was surprised. He ran after Brer Bear and said, "Brer Bear! I lost my shoe. Have you seen it?"
Brer Bear took the shoe out of his bag and asked, "Is this your shoe?"
Brer Fox said, "Yes!"
Then Brer Bear knew that it was Brer Fox who tricked him the weekend before. Brer Bear grabbed Brer Fox by the neck and beat him until Beer Fox passed out.

The sun, the moon, and the bat
According to a story from Africa, a long time ago the sun and the bat were good friends. They were seen together all the time. They shared their dreams as well as their problems.
One day, the moon and the sun began talking about who was stronger. The moon said she was stronger. The sun did not agree with her. They argued, "I am stronger," "No, I am stronger," "No, I am," and so on. Finally, they decided to have a contest.
After a couple of days, they planned to meet at the lake to see who could throw a rock the farthest across the lake. A lot of animals came from all over the world to the lake to watch the contest. They came early because they knew that the contest could start at any time.
The moon arrived at the lake first. She wanted to win, so she practiced before the sun arrived. She picked up rocks one at a time and threw them. Each time, the rocks went farther and farther. By the time the sun finally arrived at the lake, the moon was sure she could win.
The moon chose a rock and threw it. It landed near the other side of the lake. The sun chose a bigger rock and threw it. Near the middle of the lake, the sun's rock began to fall toward the water, but all of a sudden it began to go up again! The sun's rock went all the way to the other side of the lake. It seemed that the sun had won the contest after all. However, nobody knew that the bat was carrying the rock!
When the bat was sure that no one could see him, he stopped to rest between a pair of banana trees. His wings were tired. It was difficult carrying the heavy rock, but he was happy to help the sun. "That's what friends are for," thought the bat.
Many years later, the bat's mother died. Above all, the bat wanted his mother to have a nice grave.The bat worked all day, but he was not finished by the time the sun began to go down. The bat asked for a favor from the sun. "Can you stay up until I finish my mother's grave?" The sun refused. Again and again, the bat begged, but the sun said it was time for him to go down. The bat was very angry. The sun did not help him even though he had helped the sun.
When the moon came up, she saw the bat still working hard on his mother's grave. The moon gave the bat enough light to finish his work. As a result, the bat and the moon became good friends. That's why today you will never see the bat near the sun. He is always with his friend, the moon.
