"THE ABSENT-MINDED ASTROLOGER"
by
DIYA

nce, there was a astrologer. He used to come out at night to observe the stars. One day, when he was observing the stars, he fell into a well. When he fell down, he was badly wounded. He cried for help.

After a few minutes, a neighbour who passed nearby heard his cry. The neighbour said, "Is that you, my friend". The astrologer said, "Yes, it is me". The neighbour said, "Hold on for a while, I will go to get a rope to pull you up."

After another few minutes, the neighbour brought the rope. The neighbour said, "Hold on to the rope and I will pull you up." When the astrologer had been pulled up, the neighbour said, "My friend, when you look at the stars, don't forget to look where you are walking."


MORAL: WHEN YOU LOOK AT THINGS IN THE SKY, DON'T FORGET TO LOOK WHERE YOU ARE WALKING.



The End
