I was watching one video on Youtube when I came across this story OR this book about 4 friends and their towards home...

Its a very simple, short illustrative book by Charlie Mackesy, an artist/illustrator and an author of this book called..."The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse"

The story about these 4 friends hanging out and finding some simple but thoughtful life lessons and sharing with each other...

I would recommend this book to all as its a very small book with simple illustrations as you will see in this blog afterwards..

I am not gonna give any summary of this book as I will one should/can take little effort to read this book by themself(I hope you do too)

BUT

I want to share just one part of this story book where a boy and a mole were moving towards the wild and before that they saw a fox who was caught in the snare...

Fox warned mole that if he had be free from this snare, he would have killed him BUT mole was wise enough to understand that fox will die if he is not released from the snare so mole started chewing the snare until it made fox free from it...

Rather than killing the mole, fox made a beautiful heart on the ground for the mole...

The mole said to the boy, "One of the greatest freedom is how we react to things in life..."

This is something most of the people don't realise with time, that how to react...whether its reacting to any failure, reacting to someone's opinion/actions...they don't realise that we as a human being always have a "choice" on how we react...

AND if you choose wisely how to react to things in life...you can save a lot of time and energy which you can divert in things which are really important for you...

AND the one who learn this skill has the greatest freedom in his/her life...

Although, story don't encourage to be a fool as a mole incase the fox gets free from snare and kills you anyway, the intention of this story is to be kind and have a choice to react to things/people in positive way OR in a way which works better for you...
