Assorted Tales

These are a collection of Micro-Fiction.

The Beggar

Today a beggar came to our house and said he is hungry. I gave him food to eat which he relished with his heart and thanked me profusely. There is a saying which says that if you help the needy, you are helping angels and angels come disguised as beggars. I am happy to have helped someone in need.

The Parable of the Good Samaritan

Jesus told this parable. In this parable, a man while on journey was attacked by robbers and his belongings ransacked. Two priests came that way and they ignored the man. Then a Samaritan man came that way and lifted up the man and hoisted him on to a donkey and then took him to an inn and gave the innkeeper money to look after him.

Good Samaritan as an idiom means to help someone who is in need, a person suffering from mental or physical abuse.

The grace of God has helped me to be a Good Samaritan and I have been one several times.

Jesus Walking on Water

The disciples of Jesus were in a boat when the storm raged. They cried out to Jesus to help and he walked on water.

Walking on water as an idiom means something that happens which is least expected to happen.

A windfall winning is Jesus walking on water, and I hope such a thing happens to me.
