The TENTH apple.

( Stories Retold)

A hunter once lost his way deep inside the jungle while chasing a deer.
He used all his navigation skills but could not find any way out of the jungle nor could he find any food to eat for 8 days at a stretch.
He was HUNGRY, famished, disappointed and had lost all his hope.

And that is exactly when an apple tree caught his sight. It was laden with fresh ripe apples. He simply couldn’t believe his luck. He collected a dozen apples and started eating.

As he ate the 1st apple, his joy knew no bounds and he just couldn’t stop feeling grateful and blessed. He thanked life. He THANKED GOD.

But he was less grateful while having the 2nd apple and even lesser grateful when he ate the 3rd apple. He simply couldn’t enjoy the 10th apple. It tasted BLAND.

Of course, the 10th apple was as sweet as the first one. There was nothing wrong with the tenth apple. Yet it failed to give as much pleasure as the first one because the hunter who is now sitting under the apple tree has taken it for granted.
…
We also take the gift of life for another day granted.
If you get bored on a day, it is not because the day is dull and boring but your expectations has fallen short of things you’ve taken for granted.

Never let the ‘10th APPLE EFFECT’ ruin your day. Enjoy the GIFT of life as a BLESSING of a new day.
