 DAVID: You know that my neighbour draws pictures so beautifully?
NASH: Yes! His name is
Senthil. He has won many prizes, hasn't he?
DAVID: Yes. He was winner in a competition even yesterday, he showed his picture to me.
|
 NASH: Yes. Oh! It was wonderful! But I didn't have the mind to appreciate him. I showed only my anger and
irritation towards him.
NIMMY: What did you tell him yesterday?
|
 NASH: I said, "Your picture is no good. It is by some mistake that they have given you the prize!" He then began to cry. That's why I am disturbed.
DAVID: Her neighbour Joyce was jealous of her
|
NASH: Listen to a story. Mary was an expert in handwork. She could make realistic objects out of clay. One day Joyce went to Mary's house with the intention of humiliating her. Mary received Joyce warmly. Joyce was waiting for the appropriate moment.
|
 NASH:At that right time she
said:"Mary! Don't think that your handwork is appreciable. If you do it, it should be perfect. If not, better give up doing it."
Poor
Mary
|
 NASH:Listen David! So saying, pointing out the grapes on the table, she asked"Can you make anything like these real fruits?" and put a few grapes in her mouth.
|
 NASH:They must have tasted sweet!
Well they didn't. She came to know that they were artificial grapes made by Mary out of clay! It was Joyce who was ashamed..
|
 NIMMI: We should have the grace to appreciate others. God doesn't want anyone to wound other's feelings. We should pray that we havce the same mind as Jesus.
DAVID: Hereafter I'll never be jealous of others. I won't hurt others' feelings. Let us pray!
