Exciting News
Once there was a small kid on earth. One fine day, the kid learned that God was distributing apples to humans in His place in heaven. The kid was so happy to receive that news and went with great joy to heaven to get the apple from God.
Joining the Queue
There was a big queue standing to get apples from God, and this kid also joined the queue. While standing, the kid was fully excited and thrilled at the prospect of receiving an apple directly from God’s hands. Its turn came, and the kid showed its hands to receive the apple. God gave the apple, but unfortunately, the tiny hands couldn’t hold the big apple. The apple fell down and got wasted in the mud. The kid was very disappointed.
Waiting Again
The ministers near God informed the kid that if it wanted to receive an apple again, it would have to follow the queue once more. Having waited for so long, the kid didn’t want to return to earth with empty hands, so it decided to wait again in the queue. This time the queue was even longer than before. While waiting, the kid saw many people returning with apples in their hands and satisfaction on their faces. The kid felt very disappointed and thought, “Why did I alone not get the apple in my hand when all the others did? What did I do wrong to suffer like this?”
The Second Chance
The kid was now scared that it might miss the apple again. Its turn came, and God gave the apple to the kid’s hands. After giving the apple, God spoke to the kid.
God’s Explanation
“My dear child, last time after giving you the apple, I noticed that the apple I gave you was a rotten apple, and that’s why it fell from your hands. I felt bad for you and wanted to give you the best apple in the farm. At that time, the best apple in the farm was still growing, so I made you wait in the queue for a long time. Here it is. Now the apple you have in hand is ‘The Best’ apple in the farm till date.”
