---------- The Unmindful Neighbor ----------
A lonely poor man lived beside a rich man's house. He lived alone in an old, rotten wooden house that had been standing for quite some time already. Everyday he went to the rich man's gate to beg for money, so he could buy some food for himself. And no matter how hard he tried, he was not given anything. The rich man always sent him away for he couldn't bare to look at the poor man's condition - rugged, filthy with open wounds on most parts of his body, not to mention the smell he caused. Humbly he walked away thinking to himself that someday the rich man may change his ways and may offer him something already. But as time and time passed, the poor man never received any other than the usual tyranny from the rich man.
All his life he lived miserably, ​
with no money and no family to lean on to. Everyday his health was failing, his body becoming weaker and weaker. And one time, when he couldn't bare the pain in his body any longer, he stayed home all day. He laid down on the broken floor, and stared on the roof of his house. He prayed silently to God thanking Him for the life that he had been living ever since; that no matter what, he will always be thankful to the very end. Then he closed his eyes and slept. But he never woke up again. Then Angels came to him and took him to Heaven where he ate in the feast in the Kingdom Of God. He will live happily forever and ever, free from pain and sorrow. Back on earth, the rich man got richer and richer but still the same tyrant he was known for. Then he became old, got sick and died. His body was taken to Hell where he will be tormented day and night forever and ever. ---------- Moral Of The Story ---------- The Kingdom Of God in Heaven is for those who are always thankful to him even when living miserably here on earth while Hell is prepared for those who stored up riches but never cared for their fellow men. ​
