Storytelling is an invaluable skill for teachers, speakers and parents. We never give up our love for stories. Here is one for you to try out with your class, audience or family.
Two Merchants
In an ancient and far away city there lived two successful and
very competitive merchants who hated one another and were
constantly trying to better each other.
One night a messenger from God visited one of the merchants
and told him that he was instructed to grant him one wish and
one wish only.
There was only one condition attached to the granting of the
wish. Whatever the merchant wished for,the other merchant
would receive double his wish.
The merchant pondered his decision while the angel waited
patiently.
After a short time the merchant looked at the angel with a
slight smile on his face and said, " Make me blind in one eye."
Remember to let the story speak. Listen and ask leading questions but don't preach on the story.
