Once, a toy seller used to go from one town to the other selling toys. One day, while he was selling toys, it became very hot. So, he went to a well and drank some water. He was also very tired so he thought of resting for some time. The toy seller lay down on the wall surrounding the well. As he was very tired, he quickly fell asleep. But unknown to him, he was about to fall into the well. But just then, Lady Fortune appeared there. She woke the toy seller up from his sleep and said, “If you fall into the well, people will blame me for not taking care of you.” The toy seller was relived and said, “Thank you for saving my life, Lady Fortune.” Before going, Lady Fortune said to the toy seller, “People get into trouble because of their own fault and then they blame their fortune for it.”
Moral: Everyone is master of his own fate.
