Two Villages

There was a pond between two different villages. Whose water was very clean and sweet. Both villages were named Vijayanagar and Sangrampur. The people of the village used to come to drink water from it sometimes because they too had their own pond in the village. Once in the summer, the ponds of those two villages dried up but the pond in the middle of the village did not dry up. It was always full. In such a situation, the people of both villages started coming to fetch water from that pond. Due to this, one day there was a fight between the people of both villages and now both of them wanted to assert their right over the pond.

The head of both the villages decided that they would decide it after a war. In such a situation, the two heads went to a monk and asked him, which one of them would win. Then the monk said that the people of Vijay Nagar will win. On hearing this, the people of Sangrampur became sad but still thought of fighting. The next day a fight ensued between the two. The people of Vijay Nagar were not fighting properly because the monk had said that they would win. But the people of Sangrampur were fighting with full force.

The people of Sangrampur won while fighting. All the people were surprised to see that the monk had said that the people of Vijay Nagar would win. But in contrast, the people of Sangrampur won. Then the people of both villages went to the monk and asked him the reason for this. Then the monk said, “I did not know which of you two is going to win. I just said that the people of Vijay Nagar will win. In the battle, the people of Vijay Nagar did not think it necessary to fight properly. They were fighting the war comfortably thinking that they would win, but this overconfidence drowned them. That is why never have confidence. “

This story tells us that we should be overconfident. This story also tells us that one should not run away with the fear of defeat. Knowing the truth, we should face the trouble firmly.
