Dandelion and Clover

There is a remote mountain with valley in the middle, the valley is filled by clover plants.. Among these clovers there is a little four leaf Clover.. She was very loved by her friends..

One time a Dandelion seeds carried by wind and landed in the valley, just next to the four leaf Clover.. That's when they first met.. Dandelion and Clover more time together, theys have much the same indulgence, share stories, dah they became  a best friend.. Dandelion was amazed at Clover, without realizing he have feelings towards her.. Often he watch Clover from a distance, Clover has become a reason for his happiness.. Dandelion glad when Clover laugh, and sad when she cries..

Until one day...
Dandelion realized that someday there must be time to split up, when he had to leave Clover. When he did not expect but will still be coming.. No words were spoken, Dandelion just silently cry in the heart as he holding Clover's hand for the last time.. Hoping this trip did not last long and they can be reunited.. Then the time is came, the wind was blowing and took Dandelion fly with him..

When the wind took him soaring into the air, Dandelion praying..
On the trip the wind ask the dandelion: "you'd pray for you and the Clover, wasnt it?"
"Yes, i pray for myself and Clover", said the Dandelion..
The wind continued, "surely you pray to God for Clover always wait until you come home, isnt it?"
Dandelion looked at the wind, and said, "Wind my friend, at first i did intend to request thus.. But when i think again it is very unfair.. When my time running, Clover's time was also running, so i changed my wish.. I begged God to always keep the Clover.. Then, i prayed to God for myself, so I did not cry when Clover get someone better.. I pray that she will always be happy.."

Iron stirrer and Salt

I read an article about  "happiness and love" write by my friend, then i was reminded of a story that somehow i've heard from somewhere...
Approximately story as follows:
One day a scavenger, walking down a pile of garbage.. In the midst of a pile of garbage he found an Iron stirrer which was very old and rusty.. The scavengers collect iron stirrer and put it in her bag.. Then he walked forward again, and near where he found an iron stirrer before, he found a hunk of Salt that is very dirty.. Salt was then he picked up and he put in his bag as well.. Inside the bag are the scavengers, Salt and Iron stirrer become familiar.. They know each other and love each other, and mutual sharing about their travel stories, joys and sorrows, and their life story so far..
At home, a scavengers clean Iron stirrer with sandpaper so that so shiny and then moisten it with oil and put in place tools.. While the lump of Salt that he found it clean of dirt attached to it and then wash it and put it in place while cooking ingredients..
Stirrer iron and Salt became very sad.. Those who are familiar feel separated by the scavengers.. They do not understand why they must be separated.. They considered the scavengers cruel because they have separated..
Iron stirrer said: "My lord, why do you separate me from the Salt? She is my best friend.. You seize our happiness!!"
Salt also complain: " Please, do not be cruel masters.. I love my best friend Iron stirrer.. Why did you separate us?"

The scavengers answered them: "Hey Iron stirrer and Salt, do you know that if you come together for too long will destroy one another? Do you know that salt will be dissolved by water vapor and form a brine? Brine can react with iron and cause rust and corrosion that will ruin you all..
Do not be sad.. I will unite you again when I'm cooking, uses both of you to make a delicious dish, then I will cleanse you, and put in your places again..
Believe me, i know what is best for you all.."

Friend


One soldier said to his commander, "My friend isn’t back from the battlefield, Sir.. So i request permission to go out and get him, please..."
"No soldier, permission refused,” said the commander. "I don’t want you to risk your life for a man who is probably dead.."
The soldier was silent, disappointed, in the end he decided to stay away furtively.. And an hour later came back ragged, mortally wounded, carrying the corpse of his friend..

Commander was furious when he saw his arrival, "I told you he was dead.. See your wound, now I will lost you both!! Tell me soldier; was it worth going out there to bring in a corpse?"
The dying soldier replied, "Oh sure, it was, sir... When I got to him he was still alive. And he said to me, "friend, I was sure you’d come..""

If you should die before me, ask if you could bring a friend.
