A WISE MAN ON CAMEL.


This is an old story which my father used to tell us frequently in my childhood. This is about a wise man sitting on camel.
In a village once a wise man came. He was ridding on a camel continuously. He feel insulting if some one asked him to get down. Due to this habit of not getting down from camel he was famous in that area as a man on camel.
He had with him some followers, students. He was a famous personality in that area, people used to say him as a clever man on camel.
One day there was a small problem in that village, the buffalo of one villager put her head into an empty clay pot. This incidence happened near his home.
His friends came to know about this problem, all of them decided to go to wise man on camel for solution. Thus, they went at him and told him all about the buffalo & empty pot. The pot was very good and they wanted to save the pot.
After listening from the villagers the wise man decided to go on spot to look at the problem so that he could give good suggestion. All of them came near the spot. Then he was requested by the villagers to get down for reaching the actual location, he refused for that as it was against his principle. The spot where the buffalo was inside near house, it was impossible to take man with camel as the entrance get was short in height. Then the villagers decided to break down the entrance gate for him to came in, so as the wise man should see the actual problem. Thus the wise man on camel reached near the buffalo. Viewed all situation carefully then told the villagers the solution.
He said that the problem was very easy in fact there was no problem. It’s very simple
“ CUT THE HEAD OF BUFFALO “
All the villagers put their hand to their head, as they had not seen such silly person in their life. First of all they had to broke the gate and then the suggestion was to kill buffalo, means all lose no gain.
