Hercules and the Wagoner




    A CARTER was driving a wagon along a country lane, when the wheels sank down deep into a rut. The rustic driver, stupefied and aghast, stood looking at the wagon, and did nothing but utter loud cries to Hercules to come and help him. Hercules, it is said, appeared and thus addressed him: "Put your shoulders to the wheels, my man. Goad on your bullocks, and never more pray to me for help, until you have done your best to help yourself, or depend upon it you will henceforth pray in vain."

   There are some words which could not be understand even by older ones. But as you read it again and again, you can understand the story better. The lesson is "Self-help is the best. The Gods help the ones who help themselves"
  Its true that no one could help you but yourself alone. Yes, there are other people around who could help you, but helping yourself is the first and the best solution for you to solve your problem. Don't forget to have faith in God. There is a saying that "Nasa  Diyos ang awa, nasa tao ang gawa"
