This happened long time ago, once upon a time the number 9
beat number 8. Number 8 asked crying why did you beat me? Number 9 replied ‘Don’t
question what I do, this is simply because I am bigger then you and I have the
authority to do anything on you.
From this incident number 8 learned a lesson. For itself to
be greater, it should harass and beat those in lower. So, in the same way
number 8 beat number 7 and when number 7 asked for reason it told the same arrogant
reply of the number 9. This harassment followed between each of the numbers
until number 2 beat number 1.
But the number 1 was unique. It had only 0 behind it which
already is worthless and unworthy by its own. Instead of beating the 0, brought the 0 towards
its right, hugged and stood close by it.
Thus, by being kind to the worthless 0. It turned to be number 10, the greater than all
other single numbers
_Moral of the story: Don’t harass or beat someone inferior
to you in order to be superior. Rather hug them in life and your status will
only grow._
Heard this in one of Malayalam speech recently. Nice one for
kids and also for adults who believe that to be superior in life has to turn
others inferior. 😊
