DONT BE AS PROUD AS A WHEELBARROW

DON'T BE AS PROUD AS A WHEELBARROW

Most of us don't think of ourselves as proud until we look at what we have got. Then we realize that we are better than everyone else. As soon as we realize that, we act just a little bit special. We feel separate from the crowd and turn up our noses at those who are not like us. In short, that makes us proud.

Of course, you remember the story of the wheelbarrow and the cart… the wheelbarrow once had three wheels. It used to move so fast that you could never find it in the same place twice. It would pass with speeds that made others weep. Three wheels give you great strength and stability. Three wheels make you steady. In deed with three wheels, you can stand-alone. No one else had wheels so they didn't know how it feels

In those days, the cart had no wheels and used to be carried around by hand. You could find the cart wherever you put it down. It would never move. The wheelbarrow used to pass many carts along the street waiting for their owners to carry them around. He felt proud he could move around so much that he forgot what got him around.

One day a cart asked for just one of his wheels. The wheelbarrow thought for a moment and said what would you use to for. "I would move around like you" said the cart. "Like me?" asked the wheelbarrow beaming with pride. "In that case you can have two" said the wheelbarrow.  The owner of the cart soon came along and rolled his handcart down the street and was gone. They found the wheelbarrow where he stood. They have found him there ever since. He will do your every whim and only move if you move him. You never have to worry. He cant move alone.
