He would feel that he was most fortunate.

A man married a lady. They lived together and loved each other very much. Every night the wife would sleep peacefully hugging her husband. The husband would feel on cloud nine to see his loving wife sleeping in his arms. He would feel that he was most fortunate.

Time went on. One and a half years latter a cute baby was born to them. The couple loved the baby very much. Whole day long they would be busy in rearing the child. Now the husband and wife did not find time for each other.

Now every night the wife used to turn her back to the husband and put her arms gently round the sleeping baby. The mother and child would forget the world in a strange togetherness. And the husband would sleep alone peacefully; fully convinced that he was the most fortunate man on earth.

The Heart Of a Mother

Hundreds of stars were glimmering in the sky. But among them there was a star that felt lonely and pensive. Although it was a shining star, nobody had ever pointed it in appreciation because it was like any other star shining among the multitudes of its own kind. It used to shine brilliantly but rarely had any human eye fallen on that lovely star. Sometimes flakes of cloud would obstruct it from view and sometimes the silvery glow of a full moon would overshadow its brightness. But the star would stay in the sky hanging all day and night, visibly or invisibly for some unknown reasons.  

One day the star asked God, “Why have I been created? I twinkle among so many stars but why do I feel so lonesome?”  God smiled and told, “I have specially created you for a lonesome heart that is alone among a crowd.”

That night a motherless child pointed her hands at the star and uttered the word, “Mother” with two sparkling drops of tears. The star twinkled in a light of heavenly love and uttered, “Dear child I was so alone without you!” The little girl became happy. And the star thanked God because in the shade of loneliness God had granted the star the most precious thing of the creation- THE HEART OF A MOTHER.
