The English short stories of the Crystal Ball


In the south of Spain there was a small village that people were very happy with. The children play under the trees in the gardens of their house.

A shepherd boy named Nasir stayed with his father, mother and grandmother near the village. Every morning he picks up his herd of goats on the hills to find a suitable place to graze. In the afternoon he returned with them to the village. Every grandmother tells him a story every night - the story of stars.

This story really interested Nasir.

One day, when Nasir looks at his flock and plays his flute, he suddenly sees a beautiful light behind a flower bush. As he approaches the forest, he sees a transparent and very beautiful crystal ball.

The crystal ball shimmers like a colorful rainbow. Nasir carefully took it in his hand and turned it over. Amazed, he suddenly heard a weak voice come out of the crystal ball. It was said, "You can fulfill a wish that your heart desires and that I will fulfill."

Nasir couldn't believe he heard a voice. When he made sure he heard the voice of the crystal ball, he was very confused. He had so many wishes that he could not decide on a particular wish. He said to himself, "If I wait until tomorrow, I will remember many things. Then I will make my wish. '

He put the crystal ball in a bag and picked up the herd and happily returned to town. He decided he wouldn't tell anyone about the crystal ball.

The next day, Nasir also couldn't decide what he wanted because he really had everything he needed.

The days passed as usual, but Nasir still could not fulfill his wish. But he looked very cheerful. The people around him were surprised to see the change in his way of thinking.

One day, a boy followed Nasir and his herd and hid behind a tree. Nasir sat in a corner as usual, took out the crystal ball and looked at it for a moment. The boy was waiting for Nasir to go to sleep. When Nasir fell asleep after a while, the boy took the crystal ball and ran away.

When he got to the village, he called all the people and showed them the crystal ball. The inhabitants of that city took the crystal ball in their hands and turned it in amazement. Suddenly they hear a voice from the crystal ball saying:

"I can fulfill your wish."

One person took the ball and called, "I want a bag full of gold." Another took the ball and said, "I want two boxes full of jewelry. "Some of them wished they had their own palace with a large pure gold door instead of their old houses. Others wanted bags full of jewelry.

All their wishes were fulfilled, but the inhabitants of the village were still not happy. They were jealous because the person with the palace had no gold and the person with the gold had no palace. For this reason, the villagers were angry with each other and stopped talking to each other. The gardens in the village where children played were no longer. Palaces and gold were everywhere. The children were terribly unhappy. Only Nasir and his family were happy and satisfied. He plays the flute every morning and afternoon.

One day, the children of the village take the crystal ball to Nasir. The children said to Nasir, "When we had a small town, we were all happy and happy." The parents also spoke. They said, "Somehow we're all unhappy. The luxurious palaces and gems only hurt us. '

When Nasir saw that the people were really sorry, he said, "Although the crystal ball asked me to wish for something, I have not done anything so far. But if you really want everything to return to its own place, then I wish. '

Everyone was happy to agree.

Nasir took the crystal ball in his hand, turned it over and wanted the village to be the same as before. In an instant the palaces disappeared, the green gardens appeared and there was the same old village full of trees.

People started to live happily again and the children played under the trees. Nasir continued his happy life every day and played his flute at sunset. Its sweet sound can be heard all over the beautiful green village.

Moral: We should be happy with everything we have and not be greedy.
