Deserted Island

One day a man decided to retire, so he booked himself on a Caribbean cruise and proceeded to have the time of his life, that is, until the ship sank.

He soon found himself on an island with no other people, no supplies, nothing, only bananas and coconuts.

After about four months, he is lying on the beach one day when the most gorgeous woman he has ever seen rows up to the shore.

In disbelief, he asks, “Where did you come from? How did you get here?”

She replies, “I rowed over from the other side of the island where I landed when my cruise ship sank.”

“Amazing,” he notes

“You were really lucky to have a row boat wash up with you.”

“Oh, this thing?” explains the woman

“I made the boat out of some raw material I found on the island

The oars were whittled from gum tree branches

I wove the bottom from palm tree branches, and the sides and stern came from a Eucalyptus tree.”

“But, where did you get the tools?”

“Oh, that was no problem,” replied the woman

“On the south side of the island, a very unusual stratum of alluvial rock is exposed

I found that if I fired it to a certain temperature in my kiln, it melted into ductile iron I used that to make tools and used the tools to make the hardware.”

The guy is stunned. "Let's row over to my place,” she says.

So, after a short time of rowing, she soon docks the boat at a small wharf.

As the man looks to shore, he nearly falls off the boat

Before him is a long stone walk leading to an cabin and tree house

While the woman ties up the rowboat with an expertly woven hemp rope, the man can only stare ahead, dumb struck.

As they walk into the house, she says casually, “It's not much, but I call it home

Sit down, please

Would you like a drink?”

“No! No thank you,” the man blurts out, still dazed

“I can't take another drop of coconut juice.”

“It's not coconut juice,” winks the woman

“I have a still

How would you like a Tropical Spritz?”

Trying to hide his continued amazement, the man accepts, and they sit down on her couch to talk

After they exchange their individual survival stories, the woman announces, “I'm going to slip into something more comfortable

Would you like to take a shower and shave? There's a razor in the bathroom cabinet upstairs.”

No longer questioning anything, the man goes upstairs into the bathroom

There, in the cabinet is a razor made from a piece of tortoise bone

Two shells honed to a hollow ground edge are fastened on to its end inside a swivel mechanism.

“This woman is amazing,” he muses

“What's next?” When he returns, she greets him wearing nothing but some small flowers on tiny vines, each strategically positioned, she smelled faintly of gardenias.

She then beckons for him to sit down next to her.

“Tell me,” she begins suggestively, slithering closer to him, “We've both been out here for many months

You must have been lonely

There's something I'm certain you feel like doing right now, something you've been longing for, right?” She stares into his eyes.

He can't believe what he's hearing

“You mean…” he swallows excitedly as tears start to form in his eyes, “You've built a Golf Course ?”

King & His Servant

    

King & His Servant

The late king of a known Kingdom had ten wild dogs.

He used them to torture and eat any of his servants who made a mistake.

One of the servants gave an opinion which was wrong, and the king didn't like it at all.

So he ordered that the servant be thrown to the dogs.

The servant said, “I served you for ten years, and you do this to me? Please give me ten days before throwing me to those dogs!” The king agreed.

In those ten days, the servant went to the guard who looks after the dogs and told him he would like to serve the dogs for the next ten days.

The guard was baffled but agreed, and the servant started feeding the dogs, cleaning for them, bathing them, and providing all sorts of comfort for them.

When the ten days were over, the king ordered that the servant be thrown to the dogs for his punishment.

When he was thrown in, we were all amazed to see the ravenous dogs only licking the feet of the servant!

The king, baffled at what he was seeing, said, ”What has happened to my dogs?”

The servant replied, “I served the dogs for only ten days, and they didn't forget my service

Yet I served you for a whole ten years and you forgot all, at my first mistake!”

The king realised his mistake and ordered the servant to be set free.

Moral of the story: message to all those who forget the good things a person did for them as soon as the person makes a mistake towards them.

Don't put out the history that is filled with good because of a mistake you don't like.

Hope I made sense?
