Once upon a time in Armenia

Armenia is a country between Asia and Europe. In 1989, a terrible earthquake destroyed Armenia. It killed over 30,000 people in less than 4 minutes. In that horrible situation, a father left his wife safely at home and ran to the school to get his son. But the school was completely collapsed to the ground.
In the past, the father made a promise to his son "No matter what happens, I will always be there for you." He looked at the rubble in front of him. Tears filled his eyes. He kept remembering his commitment to his boy. "I will always be there for you." In the morning, he left his son in his classroom. But now it is difficult to find that classroom. Every building, every classroom, and everything was broken and fallen to the ground. It was a confusing situation. Using some measurements, he understood the exact location of his son's classroom. But now it did not look like a classroom. It was a collection of broken walls and scattered bricks.
He rushed there and started digging through the rubble. When he was digging, other parents arrived. They kept their hands on their hearts, clutching and shouting "my son, my daughter."
With a lot of dedication, the father digging the ground alone. Because he had hope that his son was alive.
He had no equipment for digging. He dug with his hands for 8 hours.
Some people came to him and said "It is too late. They are all dead. You can't help. Go home. Face reality. There is nothing you can do. You are just going to make things worse."
The father finished digging for 12 hours...... 24 hours.........
He became tired.
The fire chief came and tried to pull the father from the school debris. He said "fires are breaking out everywhere. You are in danger. We will take care of everything. Go home."
The father did not listen to anyone's words. He continued digging. Time was passing ..............24 hours, ..........34 hours,.........
The police showed up. "Hello, mister. All the pupils died. We will handle it. please go home."
But the father continued digging. He dug for 38 hours non-stop.
and in the 38th hour, he pulled back a boulder. Then he heard a voice inside the ground. He screamed his son's name, "Armand, .........Armand."
But there was no response. It was dead silence.
He dug again a lot and found a cave-like area inside the ground. He could see a small hole. He shouted inside the hole" Armand .................Armand.............Armand........"
.
.
.
"Armand"
.
.
.
.
"Armand"
.
.
.
"Armand"
.
.
.
.
.
"DAD "..............a voice came from inside.
.
.
"Armand, is it you?" the father asked.
.
.
"Yes, dad, It is me." the son replied.
.
.
"How are you, there?" the Father shouted.
.
.
And the boy answered back aloud, "Dad I'm fine. I knew you would come. I told the other kids not to worry. I told them that if you were alive, you would save me, and when you saved me you would save all of them. You promised, 'No matter what happens, I will always be there for you.'"
.
.
The father asked, "What's going on there? How is it?"
.
.
The boy said, "We are 14 pupils here, Dad. We are scared, we are hungry, we are thirsty, we are thankful you are here. When the building collapsed, it made like a triangle and it saved our lives."
.
.
The father said "Come on. Give me your hand. I will pull you up".
.
.
The son said "No, no Dad. Let the other kids come out first. Because I know you'll get me no matter what happens. I know you'll keep your promise. I know you'll be there for me."
.
Finally, the father saved 14 pupils including his son.

The Burning Desire

Once there was an explosion in a school, in America. The horrible fire caught an eight-year-old boy "Glenn Cunningham". His waist, legs, and toes were completely burnt. There was no flesh in his legs. The doctors checked his body and decided to amputate his legs. Glenn and his parents requested the doctors not to amputate. The doctors said "He will never walk again in his life. His legs are useless. They are big burdens to his body." And they left. For many months, he sat in a wheelchair. One day Glenn decided to walk from his wheelchair. But he fell down on the floor. Many times, he used to leave his wheelchair and started walking. But he fell down. He started moving on the floor. He used to drag his legs. For 2 years, there was no change in his legs. One day he was able to stand up on his feet. He used to hold walls and walk slowly. Daily he used to move and walk with the help of walls. He tried days and days to walk. Two years passed. He got some improvem...

A father's suggestion ^^

Approximately 120 years ago, a young boy "Ferenc Molnar" was studying law at Budapest University, Hungary. He was staying alone in a small room in Budapest. His parents were living in their village. His parents had lots of hopes for him. But Ferenc was not a bright student. All his friends passed the exams. But he failed. He felt ashamed. He started drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes. Every day he was thinking about his failure, his friends' success, his parents' money, and his future. His mind was full of depression. His body became powerless because of worry. One night Ferenc was drinking whiskey in his room. A cigarette was in his left hand. A glass of whiskey was in his right hand. And there were some sleeping tablets on the table. His room was filled with smoke. He laid down on a sofa in a relaxing position. He liked being alone. He found relaxation in his new habits. Suddenly the doors opened. Ferenc looked at the doors. A man was standing at the...

The Two Wolves

An old man is teaching his grandson about life. Old man: A fight is going on inside me. Grandson: Oh. what kind of fight is that? Old man: It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is a bad wolf. He is anger, jealousy, worry, depression, fear, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, and guilt. The other one is a good wolf. He is happiness, peace of mind, love, hope, courage, self-confidence. Grandson: why is this fight happening inside you? Old man: The same fight is going on inside you–and inside every other person, too. In every person's heart, this fight continues as long as he is alive. Grandson: What happens if the bad wolf wins? Old man: In your heart, If the bad wolf wins, you will always be sad and depressed. You will fail in everything. Grandson: What happens if the good wolf wins? Old man: If the good wolf wins, you will always be happy and satisfied. You will always win. You will always be successful. Grandson: So which wolf will wi...
