Life is Short. So is this book

#21

Long time ago, the residents of a village decided to build a temple. For the construction, a pile of stones was brought from a distant place and the construction process has begun.

The stones were presented in a pile before the sculptor. Of them, the biggest stone was scared of being hit and carved by the sculptor; so it hid itself behind so that it wouldn't get noticed in the presence of other stones.

The sculptor chose the visible stones before him to carve them to temple floor, pillars and goddess idol.

The stones which faced a few blows became the floor of the temple on which the worshippers walked.

The stones which were hit more became the pillars of temple and supported the entire structure.

The stone which was carved the most became the idol of the goddess and was worshipped by all.

The stone which hid itself due to the fear of being hit became nothing more than a mere stone near which the footwear is kept.
