The Burning Hut

Sunday, 27 May 2018


A rich man made a boat for travelling in sea. One day, while he was travelling in his boat, a cyclone hit the sea. His boat was completely destroyed. However, with the help of his life jacket, he somehow managed to swim to reach an isolated island. The man thought that when he had never done anything wrong in his life, then why so much wrong is happening with him.

However, he left everything on the almighty and thought when God has saved his life then only God will save him from any further trouble. He started eating the wild plants and fruits to survive. Many days passed and his belief in God started shaking. He started thinking that there is no God because God cannot be so cruel on him. He then thought that if he has to spend his entire life on this island, then he should build a hut for himself.

He collected straws and bamboos and made a hut. He felt a little happy that now he does not have to sleep outside and can protect himself from sun and rain. But the next night, there was thunderstorm and a lightning struck the hut. The hut that the man built with so much of hard-work, started burning. The man became very disappointed and in anger shouted looking at sky, "What kind of cruel being you are. People think you are a kind God but you are a demon."

The man started crying in frustration. Suddenly a ship came near the island. Two persons from the ship came and said, "We have come to rescue you. We saw this burning hut from distance and understood that someone is in trouble. Thanks for burning it, otherwise we would have never realized that you are in trouble here."
