I was trying to come up with a story the other day that would open people eyes and make them get it and I told it to my Seven year old daughter and she some it in one word.
A word I didn't even understand to I was probably in my late teens or twenties!
I will tell you that story!
There were 3 farmers and they were neightors that had 3 beautiful gardens and there was a fence that ran a long there yards!
There had been a wind strom! And had blew the fence over, pushing there beautiful flowers over putting more and more stress on them! They had just started to grow they had not even blossom yet!
So the first farmer comes out and says oh my god! This always happens to me! My flowers are ruined!! So he threw them out! And was like why does this always happen to me!
So the next farmer comes out oh my god! My flowers! I better do something! So he push the fence up off the flowers and watered them hoping they be ok! But a few weeks later they they just couldn't blossom and they evenually died!
So the next farmer comes out and says oh my god! My beautiful flowers that just planted! So he rightaway he push up the fence! Strung up the stems and watered and nutured the flowers and checked on them everyday to make sure they were ok and gave all that they needed! And then a few months later they blossom into the most beautiful flowers ever more beautiful then he had ever had before!
The other farmers were like how did you do that its miricle! He smiled and said with Love!
What is the moral of the story?
Victoria insantly says Perseverance Dad! I was blown away!! I was not even thinking that. I was thinking like never give up because if you are passionate about something don't let anything or any one get in your way! If you put enough stress on anything and not take care of it. It will break or it will die!
She really summed it up in one word! Im still in disbelief how she could be so smart at 7?? Its amazing!
