The Shipwreck A Story With A Life Lesson

Washed up on a deserted island was Jack. He was the only survivor of a shipwreck.

On the island Jack was fearful and lonely. For a rescue he prayed so feverishly.

Jack scanned the horizon everyday. Sadly, no help seemed to come his way.

Tired, Jack finally built a hut of wood To protect himself and store his little food.

One day Jack went out searching for food and a drink. When he returned, he found his little hut burning!

Smoke from the fire was rolling up the sky. Poor Jack…he was stunned and he started to cry

Everything was lost in this ‘tragedy’. Jack wailed, “God, how could you do this to me?”

That cold night Jack slept on the beach by the sea. Next day, a ship came by unexpectedly.

Jack asked his rescuers, “How come you knew I was here? The rescuers said, “We saw your smoke signal my dear.”

A ‘Tragedy’, a ‘Blessing’…can we really tell? Things you think are hopeless and down may turn out well!
