Long time ago, there was an ashram where a lot of children came from far off places to get education. Amongst them were Mark & Kelly. Both had completed their education and according to the rules of the ashram, they had to go back home. But when Mark and Kelly were about to depart from the ashram, their teacher called them and said that they can go to their respective homes only if they pass one final test! However, if they fail, they will have to stay in the ashram only.
Both were surprised. They asked their teacher what kind of test they have to give. The Teacher replied that they have to do him a little favour. The teacher gave both of them a pigeon and said that they have to kill the pigeons in a place where they wouldn’t be seen. Mark and kelly took the pigeons and accepted the task.
Mark took his pigeon in an isolated cave. He was very happy as he thought there was no one in the cave and he wouldn’t be noticed by anyone in there. Mark then twisted the neck of the pigeon and killed it! Then he returned to the ashram in no time. Mark narrated the entire scene to his teacher and asked whether can he go to his home or not?
The teacher told mark to wait for Kelly to return. Time passed and dusk fell. Kelly didn’t return. The teacher started getting worried for him. Soon, he saw Kelly approaching him. The teacher noticed the pigeon in Kelly’s hand. He asked Kelly how come the pigeon was still alive?
Kelly said to his teacher that he failed in the test. He explained by saying that he wasn’t able to kill the pigeon. First, he went to the Jungle but all the animals were watching him. Second, he took the pigeon to the seaside but all the fishes and the sea were watching him. Next, he took the pigeon to the Mountains but the silence was consuming him. At last, he took the pigeon to an isolated cave but he was watching the pigeon getting killed by himself. As a result, he returned.
Hearing the same, the Teacher got very happy. He told Kelly that he has passed in the test because the lesson he was trying to teach both of them was identical that fear stops everyone from doing the wrong deeds. We are always watched by our own soul so we must never indulge in any wrong deeds. At the end, Kelly exited the ashram and went to his home whereas Mark stayed. So kids, from this story, we learn a lesson that we should always be careful of our actions and must never commit any misdeed.
