Self Help is the Best Help

Arvind was a farmer. It was late evening. He was returning from the market in his bullock cart. The cart had a heavy load on it. It had bags of grains. Suddenly, it began to rain heavily. The wheels of the cart got stuck in the soft, wet mud. The cart would not move. Arvind was very upset. He was scared because it was getting dark. He began to wail, "Oh dear, What shall I do?" Who will help me? Please God, come and help me." He shouted many times for help, bu he did not make an effort to push the wheels out from the mud.

After sometime, a stranger came up to him. The stranger said "Why do you cry? God will not help you if you simply cry and do nothing". The farmer said "My friend, I don't know what to do". The stranger said, come on, "Let's push the wheel."The farmer agreed. They began to push. Soon, the cart-wheels came out from the wet mud. Arvind was very happy. He thanked the stranger. He said, "I will always remember your advice."
