Indeed, every accident that happens in our life gives us a new experience. In an ancient kingdom from the kingdoms of ancient times, there lived a king named Belus with his wife and children in happiness and ease. He was extremely interested in their happiness and his people in his country. The king treated them as one family and the king cared for meeting all their needs.
But in many of the times the king would hear some complaints from the people of his two neighborhoods and for various reasons it seemed to him that they were dissatisfied with anything. The king decided to know what happens on the ground of his country? And is he truly happy or not?
He began going to every direction of his kingdom to know their reality and what they think. He began his tour with a small horse then the lands and did not find any unhappy man in his country. This is what made the king extremely happy, and while he was living in his palace, a thought occurred to him that he would like to test. He decided to place a fake rock in the middle of the road to test the people who walk on this road.
He placed the rock as the king had requested and they all gathered in a near place to watch what would happen. The rock was blocking half the road and causing all vehicles and riders to fall. Beautiful people would pass by the rock but they would not do anything except look. The king saw his son as he saw, and they saw also some people of his two neighborhoods walking by the rock and not doing anything.
But they just pretended with sympathy to not caring about the king’s feelings on him and started saying to him, and they continued in their way without offering a hand of help. The king was thinking they were from his dissatisfied people, so he was hurt to hear these words coming out of their mouths, while the king was standing on the road until he passed a merchant who was scared from this road and saw the rock moving a vehicle from it. So he placed his baggage on one side and tried pushing the rock many times and repeatedly until he moved it with all his strength and put it to the side of the road. Thus succeeded the merchant from removing that obstacle from the road. But while he was doing this he found a small bag under the rock, and he was in extreme shock from its existence, but he opened it to know who was its owner?
And when he opened it he found money written on it some words: This bag is rich and has five thousand gold dinars to whoever removes this obstacle from the road. The merchant was extremely happy when he read these words and learned that God had rewarded him for his good work when he came out the king and his son to the merchant and thanked him for his action in cleaning the road, and the king made him his neighbor and after that the king rid of his dissatisfied people, who did not help people and all they do is just complaining.
