Once upon a time there was a
good, cheerful wizard who loved to use his magic to make everyone happy. He was
also quite an unusual wizard because he was allergic to a load of different
foods. He had to be very careful what he put in his mouth. He was always being
invited to parties, and he would always gladly accept, because he always had
new tricks and games to try out.
In the beginning, everyone was
considerate about his allergies, and they took special care to prepare food
that he would be able to eat safely. But as time went on, people tired of
having to prepare special foods for him. They began to forget his dietary requirements.
After having enjoyed his magic, people would leave him by himself, and the
parties became less enjoyable. Sometimes they didn't even bother to tell him
what was in the food, and, more than once, he ended up with a black tongue, a
red face, and a very itchy body.
Angry at such lack of
consideration, he waved his wand and cast a huffy spell that gave everyone a
special allergy. Some became allergic to birds or frogs, others to fruit or
meat, some to raindrops... And so, each person had to take special care from
then on. Whenever people met up to eat or have a party, they ended up having to
go to the doctor.
Ending parties in this way was
such a pain that, gradually, people began making an effort to learn what each
other’s allergies were. Now they would prepare everything carefully, so that
they could have a good time together without getting sick. Visits to the doctor
decreased, and in less than a year, life in town returned to normal, filled
with parties and celebrations, always attended by the wizard, who gave life and
joy to the occasion. Even better, now he could stay and enjoy the whole party.
No one would have suspected that, in that town, every single person was
strongly allergic to something.
Some time later, without anyone
knowing, the wizard waved his wand again and undid the spell. The people had
learned well how to be considerate towards others, and how they could enjoy
each others' company even better just by making a little effort to adapt to
each and every person.
Moral :- With very little effort,
and some tact, you can be considerate to, and include everyone.
