Once, there were some men who had been travelling for a long time. While travelling, they came to the seashore. From the seashore they climbed to the top of a cliff. They looked at the sea from there. While they were looking at the sea, they saw something at a distance and thought it to be a large ship. They all waited to see the large ship. Slowly, as the object came closer, they thought that it was not a large ship but a small boat. After some time, when the object finally reached the shore, the men were surprised. This object was just a large log rather than a small boat! The men continued with their journey. One of them said, “We waited for something which had no value. We lost time which was precious for us.”
