Once, a rich fisherman left his house to go to another city for trade. He went to the city in a large boat with his friends. He was carrying trunk full of gold coins.
One day a storm began, huge waves rose in the sea. They rocked the boat from side to side and people started screaming with fright. A few hours later the storm stopped but the boat had a hole at its bottom. Water started seeping into the boat. Fisherman’s friends took the life boat and and got of the drowning boat. The fisherman started praying , “God please save my life. If i stay alive I will offer a lot of gold to you.” One friend went to fisherman and said, “Don’t pray to god . Try to jump out and swim ashore. Remember, God help those who help themselves.
