The Shipwreck
A Story With Life Lessons

3. 3
Washed up on a deserted island was Jack.
He was the only survivor of a shipwreck.

4. 4
On the island Jack was fearful
and lonely.
For a rescue he prayed so feverishly.

5. 5
Jack scanned the horizon everyday.
Sadly, no help seemed to come his way.

6. 6
Tired, Jack finally built a hut of wood
to protect himself and store his little food.

7. 7
One day Jack went out
searching for food and
a drink.
When he returned, he
found his little hut
burning!

8. 8
Smoke from the fire was rolling up the sky.
Poor Jack…he was stunned
and he started to cry

9. 9
Everything was lost in this ‘tragedy’.
Jack wailed, “God, how could you
do this to me?”

10. 10
That cold night Jack slept on the beach
by the sea.
Next day, a ship came by unexpectedly.

11. 11
Jack asked his rescuers,
“How come you knew I was here?
The rescuers said, “We saw
your smoke signal my dear.”

12. 12
A ‘Tragedy’, a ‘Blessing’…can we really tell?
Things you think are hopeless and down
may turn out well!

13. 13
In life, happenings, both pleasant and unpleasant
can happen. Learn to accept things peacefully.
Things happen according to causes and conditions. Be positive.
Things deemed ‘bad’ may turn out to be a blessing in disguise.
In dealing with challenging
situations, one has to be calm,
patient and wise. Do not let anger
conquer you and commit wrong
actions in speech and body.
With Metta,
Brother
