There was once a very wise old man who lived on top of a mountain in a village.
The villagers went to him for advice, every time they had a problem.

Sometimes, they would come to him complaining about the same problem.
One day, Rituja, the housemaid went to the wise man with a problem that was worrying her.

The wise man told her a joke, she laughed finding it funny.

After some time, he told the same joke again. She smiled, a bit confused.

After a few minutes, he repeated the same joke and this time, she did not find it funny and got annoyed.

The man smiled and said, “You cannot laugh at the same joke over and over. Then why do you cry about the same problem time and again?”

Moral of the story: Worrying does not solve problems. It wastes our time, our energy and destroys peace of mind.
