There was a village in a kingdom where a man lived who sold milk. His name was Danny. He built his hut in an area far from the city, in the forest, for he loved the quiet of the forest. The atmosphere in the city was always noisy and had a lot of noise.
He lived in the hut only with two cows. He fed them well and took care of them. Every day, he took the two cows to the nearby pond to bathe. The more he cared for them, the more milk the two cows gave him. He sold the milk and earned enough money from it to live happily.
Danny was an honest man. He felt satisfied with his life. In many times, he did not rest. He felt sad because he saw that the world had a lot of evil, and there was no one to lead people to goodness. In the evening of one day, the ignorant man was returning home after selling milk in the village. He saw an old sheikh sitting under a tree contemplating. He passed slowly and went directly to the man, and waited until the sheikh finished his contemplation. He felt happy because he saw an old sheikh who seemed pious.
After a while, the sheikh finished his contemplation and seemed surprised when he saw the milk seller waiting for him in patience. He was sitting next to him calmly. The old sheikh asked him humbly: What do you want? The milk seller answered: I want to know the difference between truth and faith, and where can I find honesty? He asked him to answer his questions.
The old sheikh smiled and asked him to go to the lake and ask the fish, and they will answer you. Indeed, Danny went to the lake and asked the fish. The fish answered and said: What a good man you are. First, bring some water for us to drink. Danny felt surprised.
He said to them: You live in water, yet you want water to drink. What a strange thing. At the same time, the fish answered: You are right, and therefore this is the answer to your question. Faith, truth, and honesty are inside human hearts, but if you are ignorant, you will search for them outside your heart instead of searching inside yourself. Look at yourself and examine your heart carefully, and you will see them clearly. Danny felt satisfied with what he heard from the fish.
Danny thanked the fish for their answer and went to his home. He felt that he had become wiser. From that day, the milk seller changed his view of the world and his view of himself. From that day, Danny did not feel fatigue or sadness.
He began to advise everyone and spread peace in the souls of others. He began to gain many friends and became more famous among the village residents. Even those who had problems in their lives, he helped them greatly to solve and accept them. He decided to move his house to the village to be closer to people.
