THE MAGIC TABLE #Inspirational Moral Stories
A
cheerful, hard-working youth worked for a magician. Instead of paying
him
money, the magician gave him a magic table. The youth would say: ‘Set
yourself,’
and the table would serve him all he wished for! The young lad
knew now
that he would never go hungry, and decided to go home to his
father.
On his way, he stopped at a tavern for the night. The owner couldn’t
serve
any food, as he had had too many guests during the day. So, the lad
ordered
his magic table to set itself. The tavern owner’s eyes popped out at
the rich
feast on the table! At night, the greedy owner replaced the lad’s
magic
table with an ordinary one that looked like it. The youth left with the
new
table, which also served him well. For the magic lay not in the table, but
in the
lad! In the meantime, when the tavern owner gave orders to the stolen
table,
out came a stick and thrashed him soundly!
