The story of the fryman & Do not underestimate the slightest kindness
The Story of the Friedman
Once there was a fried seller who always left the tail of fried cassava unsold. He always gave the rest of the fried food to a boy who often played in his place.
Without feeling, it has been more than 20 years he underwent the business. But there is no meaningful change; the effort remains just 2.
One day, a man came in a fancy car and stopped in front of his frying cart. The man asked, “There are fried cassava tails, sir?”
The friedman then replied, “Neither, Mas.”
“I miss the same cassava tail, sir. When my father died, there was no one to finance my life. My friends mocked me for not being able to buy snacks. But at that time, you always gave me fried cassava tail, every time I played near the wheelbarrow,”, said the young man.
Friedman caught off guard. “Which I give you first is just a cassava tail.. Why do you remember me?”
“Bapak not only gives cassava tail, but also has given me happiness and hope. I may not be able to return the favor. But I want to send you to the Holy Land. May you be happy,” continued the man.
The fried cassava worker could hardly believe it. Just a little kindness/gift but it brings such a great blessing!
Always be thankful and do good. No matter how small, sincere and sincere origin, it will definitely produce happiness and blessing.

‘See, I cook dad's favorite special.’ The plate was opened, there was a piece of chicken head that was held for him.
Hearing the husband's answer, pearls began to fall down his cheeks. That answer jolted his innermost consciousness. Never thought of by him turned out a piece of chicken head so beautiful as a form of genuine affection the love of the husband towards himself and the children. ‘Thank you father for your love and affection.’ said the wife.

Drinking Water in the Desert
A man lost in the desert. He almost died of thirst. Finally, he arrived at an empty house. In front of the old house without windows and almost collapsed, there is a water pump. Immediately he went to the pump and began to pump as hard as he could. But no water came out.
Then he saw a small jug next to the pump with its mouth covered with cork and attached to the paper with the inscription,”Friend, this pump must be fished with water first.. After you get the water, pls don't forget to fill this jug again before you go.” The man pulled out the cork and it turned out that the jug was full of water.
“Does this water have to be used for pump fishing? What if it doesn't work? There's no more water. Wouldn't it be safer for me to drink the water first than to die of thirst if it turns out the pump is not working? Why pour it into a rust pump just because the instructions on the seedy paper are not necessarily true?” How thought.
Fortunately his heart said that he should try to follow the advice on the paper, even if it was risky. He poured the entire contents of the jug into the rusty pump and with all his strength pumped it.
Aye!! Water comes out in abundance. The man drank heavily.
After a break of recovering energy and before leaving the place, he filled the jug to the brim, closed the cork again and added a few words under the message's instructions: “I have done it and succeeded. You must sacrifice everything first before you can receive it back in abundance.
