Will you sell your body?

Book Review by: doc    

Original Author: Zeshan Hussain Khatri
Once upon a time, a young man came to Talistai and asked him to help him as he was very poor and didn’t have even a single
penny. Talistai thought for a while and then advised him, that he had a friend, who was a trader. He could take the young man’s eyes and give him about two thousand.
The young man was frightened and replied suddenly that it was impossible for him to do so. Talistai looked keenly at his hands and gave another option, that he could give him about fifteen thousand for both of his hands. The young man looked at his hands and nodded his head in refusal.
Then came another option and Talistai asked the man to sell his both feet for about ten thousand. The young man stood up in rage, and strictly refused for this option as well.
Talistai tried to convince him that he should sell whole of his body for about one lack, so as to become rich immediately. This could help him as his body could be used by Talistai’s friend to make medicines and that he should not miss this great offer.
The young man was now out of control and replied in rage, that he would not sell his body even for one million or at any cost.
Now Talistai smiled and said that if a man is not willing to sell his body even for one million, how come he could say that he didn’t have anything, not even a single penny? Then at the end, he added that this whole body is a great treasure. He advised the young man to work hard and sincerely, the lacks and millions are nothing, he could be able to catch the sun, moon and even stars by his hardwork.
