बगीचे में अजनबी
एक बार की बात है, एक आदमी था जिसके पास एक बड़ा बगीचा था। उसने कई फलों के पेड़ लगाए थे और फल आने तक उनकी देखभाल की थी। अब वह फलों की कटाई करना चाहता था और उन्हें बेचकर अपने परिवार के लिए पैसा कमाना चाहता था।
एक दिन अपने पुत्र के साथ फल तोड़ते समय उस व्यक्ति ने एक अजनबी को पेड़ की डाल पर बैठकर फल तोड़ते देखा। वह आदमी क्रोधित हो गया और चिल्लाया, "अरे तुम! तुम मेरे पेड़ पर क्या कर रहे हो? क्या तुम्हें चोरी करने में शर्म नहीं आती?"
शाखा पर बैठे अजनबी ने माली की ओर देखा, लेकिन कोई जवाब नहीं दिया और फल तोड़ता रहा। माली बहुत क्रोधित हुआ और फिर से चिल्लाया, "मैंने पूरे एक साल तक इन पेड़ों की देखभाल की है। आपको मेरी अनुमति के बिना फल लेने का कोई अधिकार नहीं है। इसलिए एक बार नीचे आ जाइए!"
पेड़ पर बैठे अजनबी ने जवाब दिया, "मैं क्यों नीचे आऊं? यह भगवान का बगीचा है और मैं भगवान का सेवक हूं, इसलिए मुझे इन फलों को तोड़ने का अधिकार है। आपको भगवान और उनके सेवक के काम में हस्तक्षेप नहीं करना चाहिए।" "
इस जवाब पर माली को बहुत आश्चर्य हुआ और उसने एक योजना सोची। उसने अजनबी से पेड़ से नीचे आने को कहा। अजनबी जैसे ही पेड़ से उतरा, माली ने उसे पेड़ से बांध दिया और डंडे से पीटना शुरू कर दिया। अजनबी चिल्लाने लगा, "तुम मुझे क्यों मार रहे हो? तुम्हें ऐसा करने का कोई अधिकार नहीं है।"
माली ने कोई ध्यान नहीं दिया और उसे पीटता रहा। अजनबी चिल्लाया, "क्या तुम भगवान से नहीं डरते? तुम एक निर्दोष आदमी को पीट रहे हो। माली ने जवाब दिया," मैं क्यों डरूं? मेरे हाथ की यह लकड़ी भगवान की है और मैं भगवान का सेवक हूं। आपको भगवान और उसके सेवक के काम में दखल नहीं देना चाहिए।"
अजनबी हिचकिचाया और फिर बोला, "रुको। मुझे मत मारो, मुझे फल लेने के लिए खेद है। यह तुम्हारा बगीचा है और मुझे फल लेने से पहले तुम्हारी अनुमति लेनी चाहिए। इसलिए, कृपया मुझे क्षमा करें और मुझे मुक्त करें।" माली मुस्कुराया और कहा, "भगवान के नाम का उपयोग अपने गलत कार्यों को सही ठहराने के लिए न करें।"
तब माली ने उसे खोलकर स्वतंत्र कर दिया।
The Stranger in the Garden
Once upon a time, there was a man who had a big garden. He had planted many fruit trees and cared for them till they bore fruits. Now he wanted to harvest the fruits and sell them to make money for his family.
One fine day, while picking the fruits with his son, the man saw a stranger sitting on the branch of a tree and picking fruits. The man became angry and shouted, "Hey you! What are you doing on my tree? Aren't you ashamed of stealing?"
The stranger sitting on the branch looked at the gardener, but didn't reply, and continued picking the fruits. The gardener was very angry and shouted again, "For a whole year I have taken care of these trees. You have no right to take the fruits without my permission. So come down at once!"
The stranger on the tree answered, "Why should I come down? This is the garden of God and I am the servant of God, so I have the right to pick these fruits. You should not interfere with the work of God and his servant."
The gardener was very surprised at this answer and thought of a plan. He told the stranger to come down from the tree. As the stranger climbed down the tree, the gardener tied him to the tree and began beating him with a stick. The stranger began to scream, "Why are you beating me? You have no right to do this."
The gardener paid no attention and continued beating him. The stranger screamed, "Don't you fear God? You are beating an innocent man. The gardener answered, "Why should I fear? This wood in my hand belongs to God and I am the servant of God. You shouldn't interfere with the work of God and his servant."
The stranger hesitated and then spoke, "Wait. Don't beat me, I am sorry for taking the fruits. This is your garden and I should seek your permission before taking the fruits. So, please forgive me and set me free." The gardener smiled and said, "Don't use God's name to justify your ill-conceived actions."
Then the gardener untied him and let him go free.
