The Wise Old Man and the Goat



A king ordered a goat. He made an allowance in the city. He promised that whoever feeds the goat to its fill will be rewarded with whatever it asks for.

The king said, "But remember, you must feed it to its fill. I will feed it and check. If it eats even a little, I won't give it anything." Everyone was happy, saying, "It's just a goat, not an elephant. It can eat a lot worth 1, 2,000 rupees." The king was willing to pay whatever the king asked for. Some said they would feed it grass, while others said they would feed it green fodder. They took the goat and fed it, filling it to its brim, so that it wouldn't feel hungry in front of the king. The goat was brought to the court. The king saw that the goat had been fed to its fill. The king ordered grass and placed it aside. The goat began to sniff the grass, and the goat bit it. The king said, "You have failed."  In this way, someone would take the goat every day and feed it to its heart's content.

But whenever the king offered grass, the goat would eat it. One day, an old man came and said, "King, give us the goat for a day, and we'll do it." People laughed, saying, "He doesn't even have money to feed himself. How will he feed the goat? He'll just run away with it." The king honored him. The next day, he brought the goat before the king. The king said, "You haven't fed him anything. You're crazy." The poor man told the king, "You should try feeding him." The king laughed. When the king placed grass in front of the goat, the goat turned away. The king tried hard, but the goat wouldn't eat. The king asked, "How did you do what no one else could do?" The old man said, "When we took him away, we placed grass in front of him. As soon as he tried to eat, we hit him with a stick from his mouth to his back."  Then something was placed in front of it. As soon as it put its mouth on it. Then he was hit with the same stick. And he was hit the whole day. That whatever you place in front of it, it is not going to eat. And while coming back also he was hit with a stick. We are poor. We face this pang of hunger everyday. So we know how to control our mind well. This story is for that person. Who is filling his coffers. Only filling his stomach. He has no control over his mind.
