Once there was a little monk. One day, he cut wood in the mountains, when he came back on the way, he found a boy caught a butterfly and covered it in the hands. The young saw the monk and said: “Monk, how can we make a bet?” Then the monk asked: “How to gamble?”

The young boy sad: “You guess the butterfly in my hands is dead or alive? If you are wrong, you must give that burden of woods to me.” The monk agreed, and said: “That butterfly in your hand is dead.” Boy laughed and said: “You are wrong.” Youth put his hands separately, and then the butterfly flew away from his hands. The monk said: “Good! This burden of firewood is yours.” Then, the monk put down the wood, and went happily.

The young boy has won a load of firewood, and picked it to go home happily, and then told the details to his father. His father was also a Buddhist. Then he heard his son, slapped his son, and said: “Do you really win? You do not know how to lose.” Then the father let his son take up the wood and went to return to the monk in the temple.

Boy's father saw the monk and said: “Master, my child has ...
... offended you, please forgive him, I'll give your wood get back.” But the junior was puzzled. The boy’s father said to the buy: “The master said the butterfly is dead, you will release that butterfly and win a load of firewood. But what the master wins you is the mercy.” Then the monk accepted the firewood, said: “You use this load of firewood to exchange for your compassion!”

In fact, as in our ordinary life, sometimes we think we have won, but sometimes, our win is disgraceful. We always put our happiness in other people's suffering. Carefully think about it, even if we win the world, what can we really get? Will we really feel happy? Like little boy in the story, even if he won some wood, but lost his compassion. There are always two sides; if you gain something, you will lose something! Do not have to care about little things too much.
