Introduction

Mr. Jamal is a young man. His dream is to visit the most powerful person on this Earth. Be that in matters of the heart, money, health or resources. Mr. Jamal is a thoughtful and stubborn person. When he wants to do something, he does it.

Chapter 1 : King of  hearts

 Jamal is engaged to a girl called Donia who is calm and romantic. Today, she took Jamal to a nice restaurant, inside there were a red candles on the tables, there was also a singer who sang romantic songs, the singer played soft music with just a lute. The light was a warm glow and wonderful. The waiters were very kind. Jamal and Donia had a good time together.

Jamal told Donia that he had decided to visit the king of hearts and he asked her, “Do you have any idea why I have decided to see this king?”


“Today, the king of hearts is the most famous soccer player …., the most famous actor…., the most famous singer….” said Donia.


“What I understand is that the most attractive man in the world is called the king of all girl’s hearts and the most attractive woman in the world is called the queen of all guy’s hearts. Though in thirty years, he will soon be forgotten because he will not keep his beauty forever.” said Jamal.

“In fact, when I fell in love with you, you became the owner of my heart, you are the king of my heart so I forgot the king of all hearts.” said Donia.

Jamal whispered to himself “If I’m a king of one heart, I don’t need to visit a king of all hearts. Now, my priority is to visit the king of money.

  

Chapter 2 : King of money

The king of money is the owner of the greatest bank. He lends money to people who want to accomplish their goals in a short time.

Jamal is different. He is patient, he likes accomplishing his goals step by step.

Instead of buying a new apartment downtown like his friends, he has rented just a small studio.

Jamal saves more than he spends, he doesn’t struggle to be the owner of anything because he realized that a person who wants to be an owner, lives a stressful life in order to give money back to the king of money, so they live as slaves on this Earth.

Jamal is independent, his purpose is to live in peace and to have a quiet life. He doesn’t need to work hard to manage his financial issues. He just pays studio rent, so he saves the rest of his income in his bank account.

Jamal remembers his father’s advice “Don’t buy things that you can’t afford. Spend just ten percent of what you have. Live modestly if you want live happily.”

Jamal whispered to himself “If I don’t need to borrow money from the bank, I don’t need to visit a king of money. Now, my priority is to visit the king of health”.

Chapter 3 : King of  health

The king of health is a man who builds the most famous hospitals. He has selected the best doctors in the world to perform the surgeries in them.

Today, all magazines write about the king of health’s accident on the highway since he speeded and crashed his car into other cars. His condition is very serious. He has a headache. His head hurts him so hard.

The doctors are not sure what the results of this difficult surgery on his head will be.

Later, the king of health opens his eyes, he doesn’t see anything, he orders them to turn on the light but he sees just black darkness. He has lost his sight, he is blind, he cries, the doctors cry too.

“I’m the king of health. I built this hospital in order to take care of ill people. Take all my money but bring back my sight.”

Jamal whispered to himself “the king of health is blind. The king of health is ill. Now, he would rather be a slave that sees than a blind king.

Now, my priority is to visit the king of the empire.”

 

 

 

Chapter 4 : King of the empire

Jamal went to visit the king of the empire. The emperor had all the resources of his empire, he was cheerful.

He spent all his time fighting other countries with the purpose of taking more land, then more resources which would become at his finger tips.

When he sees the wind blowing through the trees and over the lands he says to it. “Blow here or blow where ever you go, across this earth from east to west, in the end your power will belong to me and I will harvest it’s fruit.”


As usual he eats a lot of delicious food, this evening he is sick, his stomach hurts him. His doctors bring him medicines. He tries them in vain.

Jamal visited this king before he died. He was with doctors who were on the king’s deathbed.

The king of the land was so weak, he shouted “I’m the emperor, I spent all my life ruling my empire, I have unlimited gold, unlimited money. How can I leave all that? I ‘m the king of the biggest empire, I’m the owner of the world but I’m not the owner of my soul. Then, I’m the owner of nothing, take everything and leave me alive…”

Jamal whispered to himself “the king of the empire is dead.

Now, my priority is to visit the king of souls.”

 

 

Chapter 5 : King of  souls

 

Jamal decided to visit the king of souls. He didn’t find Him. He asked his teacher Mustapha about this king.

Mustapha said, “It’s easy to find this king, he is where you are. Have you ever wondered who instilled your soul? The same one, who instilled it in you, can take it whenever He wants.”

“I believe that the king of souls is the most powerful. Married or single, we can live without the king of hearts. Rich or poor, we can live without the king of money. Strong or weak, we can live without the king of health. Emperor or slave, we can live without the king of the empire but we can’t live without the king of souls.” said Jamal.

“The king of souls is the owner of all things that you have, he gives you everything, he also gives you a love which helps you live a lovable and merciful life with others.

He gives you strength when you feel weak. He gives you money when you are poor. Try to be close to the king of souls by protecting your soul from evil, so you will reap reward in this life and beyond.


Be careful, when He gives you something it’s like He’s lending it to you as part of a test. You never own your own soul so you can never be the owner of anything or anyone.


If He takes your soul, you will lose everything that you have, then everything belongs to the king of souls, the sky, the moon, the sun, the stars, the Earth, everything…….and souls, all belong to Him, so he is really the king of everything, hearts, money, health, the Earth, the universe, …..And our souls.“

 
He is the king of all kings. He alone is the Soul Owner.

Very good wisdom in the story. I liked how you told the story and took the reader to the strong ending.

Many great writers had wrote similar thoughts. Can't take with you to death anything. What you leave behind is important. Teaching of love and kindness is never forgotten and is passed on by wise teachers. Thank you for sharing the excellent story.

Very meaningful story, I liked it, though for me it felt weird on the way it was narrated, the meaning of the story is what made it good, it's written different from other stories, I would describe it as Unique.

Beautifully written! :) This aptly explains the transience of material aspects and the importance of keeping one's soul away from evil. Leaves a lasting impression. Well done!

Upon reading I thought, what a fresh look on an old oral tradition of story telling: The fable. It reminds me of stories my parents read me as a child; tales that were meant to instill wisdom in a child's naive and untested heart. The difference here is the wisdom is for the adult; the one still searching for that elusive happiness and place in the order of things. Your message of love and kindness over all things is refreshing and a much needed lesson for all in these sometimes difficult years. I was glad to read this. It gave me the right attitude in which to start my day :) Thanks for sharing.

This story has really good morals! I liked your storytelling approach very much, it helped get your point across. Your writing has a very wise tone. It gives you something to think about. Nice work! The only suggestion I have is that there are a few grammar problems here and there, but other than that this is a really excellent piece!
