Jack's family was not well-off, and they couldn't afford to buy him a piano. Undeterred by this setback, Jack decided to practice on a makeshift keyboard made out of cardboard and used bottle caps as keys. Every day, he would spend hours playing and honing his skills.
One day, a famous pianist visited the village and held a concert. Jack was eager to attend and learn from the best. However, the tickets were expensive, and he couldn't afford one.

Years passed, and Jack's hard work paid off. He won several piano competitions and gained recognition for his exceptional talent. He became the renowned pianist he had always dreamed of becoming.
Jack's story teaches us the importance of perseverance. Despite his humble beginnings and numerous obstacles, he never lost sight of his dream. He was willing to do whatever it took to achieve his goals and never gave up, no matter how difficult the journey became.

When he returns home after a day’s hunt, he always gives the housedog some meat. The hound feels very angry. He says unhappily to the housedog, “I work very hard outside, but you do nothing and share my food.”
“Don’t blame me, my friend. You should blame the master. He doesn’t teach me to hurt, but to share other’s food,” the housedog answers.
