There was a European man who used to save money so that he could
travel to the US. He would work really hard and save as little as he could with
the hope of managing to get a ticket to the ship travelling to the states.
Finally after so many years, he got his target and bought a ticket. He was very
excited about the trip for he had been looking forward to this day for very
long. There were a lot of people travelling at that time, especially the
richest persons in Europe.
He was shown into his room and settled putting his little
luggage on a shelve near his window. While in the ship, meals were served in
the restaurant but whenever it was meal time, he would go peep at the good
foods people were eating; the chicken, ratatouille and all those yummy
delicacies and sumptuous drinks but he would then go back and lock himself in
his room thinking “I don’t have any money to buy all these expensive meals”. He
would then eat the cheese and crackers (those biscuits eaten by the police in
their barracks) he had carried along. This habit continued until now they
reached their destination.
One steward who was observant at what he used to do ran
after him and said, “Hallow sir,” so the man stopped and greeted back. The
steward went forth and asked him, “Sir, have we offended you in any way. I
noticed that you never joined us for the meals but instead locked yourself in
your room.” The man replied, “No son, you’ve done me no wrong. I didn’t have
enough money to pay for all those expensive meals.” The steward looked at him
and told him “But sir, all your meals were included in the ticket.”
Most of us are like this man, we live a poor life yet all
our good things are included in the ticket; the ticket that is now your life.
All your wonderful desires were inclusive when you were landing here on earth
so put away all your worries and look unto enjoying a total turn-around.
