God Always Does Good

Once there was a king in a kingdom. His minister was very wise and gentle. He always thought of God. Even on every work, he would ever say, "God always does good to us." He had become so habitual of saying these words that the people often laughed at him for his these words.

One day by chance, one of the king's fingers was cut off. He was very sad. He told his misery to his minister. As usual the man said,"God always does good to us."

At these words of the minister, the king grew so angry that he decided to kill his minister. Next day the king ordered some of his men to get ready to go to a distant forest.

The next day, the king and his men set off The wise man also followed the king. Soon they come to a well. The rest of men of the king were left far behind. The king said to his minister, "I am tired and thirsty. Please bring me some water."

The gentle man peeped into the well to look for water. As he was doing so, the king pushed him into the well. As he fell into the well, the king heard him saying, "God always does good to us."

Then the king got on his horse and galloped it towards his men. But unfortunately, he lost his way and was captured by some strangers. They were searching for a full men to be chopped to offer his dead body to their goddess to make her pleased.

But the chief of the strangers found that the King had lost one of his fingers and was not fit to be sacrificed. So the king was released to go.

Now the king realized his mistake. He come to the well, peeped into it and cried, "Minister, are you still living?" A very tired and faint voice said, "yes, your honour."

Meanwhile the king's own men had already reached there. They pulled the minister out of the well.

The king told the minister, "I am really very sorry for my wrong deed.

The wish men said, "God always does good to us. O king, if you had not thrown me into the well, the strangers would have taken me away and I should have lost my life. So we should always remember that God always does good to us."
