Coin

A sage was passing through the capital city of a famous king. While he was walking he found a single currency coin on the road. He picked it up he was satisfied with his simple living and had no use of it. So he planned to donate to one who needed it. He strolled around the streets throughout the day but didn't find any such person. Finally he reached a rest area and spend the night there.

next morning he woke up for his daily activities and saw that the king was going to war with his army. On seeing the sage, the king ordered his army to stop. He came up to him and said, oh great sage, I am going to war II in another state so that my kingdom can be expanded. So bless me to be when. After thinking, says give the coin to the king the king was confused and annoyed with this because what use did did he have for a single coin while he was already one of the richest kings he asked the sage for explanation the sage explained oh great king I found this kind yesterday while walking around the streets of your capital city. But I had no use of it. So I had decided to donate it to the needy. I rolled till the evening in your capital but found no such person who need it. Everyone was living a happy life. It seemed that they were satisfied with what they had. So I didn't give this coin to anyone but today the king of this state still has the desire to gain more and is not satisfied with what he already has. I felt you were in need of this coin. The king realise his mistake and gave up the land war. We all should learn to be happy with what we have. Yes we all dzire more or better than what we already have, but, in order to gain more, do not waste a chance of enjoying what you already have. Do not always compare, be happy and lead a healthy life.
