A young man and his professor were walking along a path one day when they chanced upon the shoes of a farmer working in the fields.
The young man wanted to play a prank on the farmer and said to his professor, "Let's hide these shoes and hide behind the tree over there, then we'll wait and see the expression of the farmer when he returns! It will be fun!"
The professor replied, "My dear friend, never make fun of the plight of the poor. For you are rich, try instead another trick. Place a coin in each of these shoes and then we'll hide and take a look at the poor man's expression."
The young man did as he was told and placed a coin in each shoe.
A few minutes later, the farmer ended work and came to retrieve his shoes. Upon slipping on the first, he was surprised to find something hard in it. He took out his foot and found the coin inside. He was perplexed and looked all around, but seeing no one, he put the shoe back on and started to put on the other one.
When he once again felt something in his other shoe and upon finding that it was another coin, the man immediately knelt on the path and uttered a fervent prayer of thanks to the provider who had given him this much needed bounty, as his wife was ill and his child in need of food.
Seeing the joy of the poor man upon finding the coins that did not cost much to him, the young man felt tears welling in his eyes and said softly, "I understand now, how actions that mean little to us may make a world of difference to someone else.
We should always put some thought into what we do. It is indeed more blessed to give than to receive!"

*** Took it@ fren's blog***
A man found a cocoon of a butterfly. One day a small opening appeared, he sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through the little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and could go no further. Out of kindness, the man decided to help the butterfly and he took a pair of scissors to snipe the remaining bit of the cocoon.
The butterfly then emerged easily after the help by the man but something was strange. The butterfly appeared to have a swollen body and shriveled wings. However the man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to support the body, which would also may contract in time.
Neither of the two situation happened.
In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and deformed wings. It was never able to fly. What the man in his kindness and haste did not understand, was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the small opening of the cocoon are God`s way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.
After reading the story, i sat down to gather my thoughts and realise the moral of the story that the author was trying to express.
This is what my fren's feel and I agreed what he say~ :
Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If God allows us to go through all our life without any obstacles, he will have cripple us. We wouldn't be as strong as what we could have been. Not only that, we could never fly.
A lot of times we have troubles, obstacles and some encountered set-back in their life. It is the strength to overcome these problems, then we learn to grow and get enlighten. I hope after reading this, your life will not be the butterfly, spending the rest of your life crawling around with a swollen body and deformed wings, never be able to fly.
