Sparkling Pool Without Satyr-Original Translation

In the middle of Zendora forest, there was a group of satyrs who lived in prosperity and harmony. They were singing, dancing, and enjoying their life together every day. They never felt hungry and could only live by drinking water from small pools in Zendora.

There were numerous pools scattered in Zendora. There were small, large, clean, and turbid. Small satyrs liked drinking water from small pools and older satyrs could only be satisfied by drinking from large pools. No satyr liked to drink water from a murky pools. There was one large sparkling pool. Produced very clean water and contained everything was needed by the body of the satyrs. Strangely, no satyr drank from this sparkling pool.

The pool was upset and kept thinking of how it could be useful for the satyrs. Lots of ideas in its mind on how to be useful, but any ways it could think of, there were always positive and negative sides that made this pool confused and hesitant to take any actions and decisions.

Year after year had passed, the more its ideas grow, the wider gap between the positive and negative sides that made the pool unable to make any decisions, which steps should be taken. Until one day, the sparkling pool began to blur. The water that was once abundant had subsided, even the colorful and beautiful plants had dried and become useless, and still no satyr knew of the pool’s existence.

Moral of the story:

Today, we all seemed to be eager to seek happiness for ourselves and loved ones. We all have always wanted to become a useful person in life that could only happen once. Many of us have brilliant ideas that has never been executed or even has even been executed and owned by others.

Humans’ road of life is like a labyrinth.  There are always many intersection and a lot of choices we have to choose. There are always positive and negative sides which take us to the different outcome in each line. Not taking any decisions means that we have taken WITHOUT DECISION path, which directs us to one end of a life without decision.

Every human has different function in life. We does not have to be the richest, strongest, and smartest. We only need to be the best in our functions. Small bolts that are created as part of private plane look much smaller and not as fancy as a private plane that many people are proud of. If the small bolts do not choose to be useful in their lives, the lives of all people in the plane can be in a very dangerous situation.

Never complain on why we are born as we are now. We all have important functions in our lives. If you become a bolt, be a strong bolt. A dirty little bolt could save thousands lives. But even a sparkling pool can become a pool that no satyr knows its existence.
