99 good 1 bad

11 June 2022.

Most times people only look at the bad a person does 1 time when they are judging him or her .I don’t understand it. It’s like they want to wipe out all the good he or she has done so that they can only see bad things which would allow them judge a person in whatever way the deem fit.

Everybody does this, me, you, your aunt, your crush, your friends, their friends and I just tend to wonder is it how it was meant to be or is it the way society has constructed it to be. I am going to tell you a story about how a king felt ashamed of his actions but before I do that do check out my sponsors and for all my sponsors who are no longer sponsoring me I thank you for the time we spent together as sponsors and sponsee.. I hope to see you again soon.

#A short story 

Once upon a time in a very small village they lived a king who enjoyed training wild cats and dogs. He had 10 of those cats and dogs inclusive. He trained them in a small cage around his palace. Everybody knew about the king’s love for his animals so they made sure they didn’t get on his wrong side because the king would always feed anyone who wronged him to his animals.

One day one of his servant gave the king his opinion about the animals he was raising and how he was feeding people who he didn’t like to them. The king did not like the opinion of this servant so he ordered that he be thrown into the cages of these animals to feed them.

The servant said to the king

“I have served you for 10 years and you do this to me?”

He pleaded “ please give me 10 days before thrown me to the dogs”

The king agreed and so the servant was allowed to live for 10 more days. In those 10 days the servant went to the guard who fed the dogs. He told them that he would like to serve the dogs for 10 days . They felt bad for him but they agreed. So the servant started feeding the dogs, bathing them and taking care of all their needs.

The 10 days eventually passed and the king ordered again that the servant be thrown to the dogs as punishment. When the servant was thrown in everyone was surprised to see that these big wild hungry dogs only licked the feet of the servant.

The king baffled at what he was seeing asked “what happened to my animals?”

The servant replied “I only served these animals for 10 days and they didn’t forget my service whereas I have served you for over 10 years and you forgot my service at my first mistake”

The king then felt ashamed of his actions and realized that he didn’t do right by the servant. He then ordered that the servant be set free.

This story is to portray a message. We shouldn’t forget the good a person has done to us for the longest time when they make one stupid mistake. I know it is easy to see the wrong things a person does but let’s not allow that to cancel out all the good they have being doing in the past.
