Sea Arab Ghost | Moral story in English
An Arab king was sailing with his members. One of the soldier was traveling for the first time at sea.
So from the moment he set sail, he kept shouting, “Alas, we are going to drown in the sea, the sea demon is going to catch us and we are going to drown in the sea.”
The others on the ship were frightened because of him. The ship is safe, Nothing like that will happen and you need not be unnecessarily scared, said the other members on the ship.
He was always lamenting that the seagull is going to catch us, repeating it at day and night, which turned out to be a big hassle.
No one knows how to convince him. In the end the king was informed about the man’s fear.
The king came to the place where the soldier was and said, “I will allay his fear.” The ship is so strong it will not break easily, said the king. He lamented that nature could never be conquered by humans.
When the king saw it, he spoke very clearly, but he did not keep quiet. No one knew what to do when such difficult situation arose.
One of the sage on ship said to the king, “I will calm him down if you wish.” To which the king asked, “How can you do that which I couldn’t do?” The sage said, “Look now,” and ordered the soldiers to throw the man into the sea.
The next minute the soldiers threw him into sea and the man didn’t know to swim and he started to drink little seawater, as soon the sage asked the soldiers to pull him back then soldiers pulled his head towards the ship.
As soon as he was brought to ship, he sat quietly in a corner in fear. Didn’t make sound, did not open his mouth about the sea ghost.
The king was amazed and asked “how was this possible.” To which the sage replied, “This soldier didn’t know what it means to drown. So he did not feel the security of the ship. The one who has experienced danger is well aware of safety.”
Nothing is going to happen because we are afraid to think about what is coming. He said we can win even in danger if we face anything boldly.
So travel should never be afraid of anything. Travel is a good teacher who teaches us a lot.
