Frog Curry

There was a farmer living near his farm land, adjacent to a pond with beautiful lotus and lily….. The monsoon has just over and the pond was full of water. The farmer returning to home tired after work was not able to sleep these days because of the disturbance of noise…. The noise was breaking the sky uninterruptedly… the farmer’s family was disturbed …One night the farmer told his wife that he will do something about it to abolish this noise interruption …..The pond is full of frogs….make a hell lot of noise…I will try to do something about it….he whispered …

The next day morning the farmer dressed up well and went to a near by town, after going through many lanes he found out one hotel….

He approached the hotel owner and told him that…Sir I gone through your menu list and was surprised that you do not have any frog menu (frog curry)….

The owner replied and said…Dear gentleman having a frog menu is a good idea ,in fact we had frog menu earlier and had to withdraw from our menu due to lack of frog supply…..

The farmer was happy listening this and told the owner to have an agreement with him for the frog supply. It was agreed that 100 frog legs will be supplied everyday from the next day……

The farmer got his advance and returned home happily…

He was waiting for the night to come so that he can start the frog catch…

In the night with a torch light and a bag in hand he started catching frogs….

In the morning he took a taxi and reached the hotel…..the hotel owner was shocked and surprised seeing the farmer holing only 4 frog legs in his hands…

The farmer started crying and apologizing with the owner and told him that “Sir hearing at the intensity of noise I thought that there will be hundreds and thousands of frogs but when I really went for the catch I found that only these two frogs making all the noise…

The deal was broken the farmer paid back the advance ….travelling back home the farmer laughed at him for thinking to much about the frog noise….

The diary of the farmer reads like this….When we hear negative or destructive criticism from one or two persons we think that the whole world is talking about us negatively, our thoughts are occupied by the negative remarks and we go into the shell of complex …keep aside the negative or un constructive criticism and march with true knowledge about constructive criticisms….

Whenever there is much noise about you, think that there is only one or two persons making those noise not the whole world (only for unhealthy destructive criticisms).
