Once upon a time, a group of three men were lost in the hills while gathering firewood. they had only one fruit with them. All the three were almost fainting from exhaustion and starvation. Then God appeared to them and told them he would test their wisdom and depending on how they perform, he would help them.
The first one said: "Then make more food appear so that there is enough for all three." God answered that it was an answer with no wisdom and no effort, since he should not ask God for a magical solution to all problems without trying to solve it himself with whatever resources available.
The second one said then: " Make the fruit grow to larger size so that all the three of them would be able to satiate their hunger by eating it.". God again said,''no,not a wise answer, since the solution lies not in asking for the multiplication of what one already has , probl since the human being can never be satisfied and therefore the enlarged fruit would never be enough for all.
The third one then said: "My good God, even though we are hungry and we are proud, make us become small so the fruit would be enough to feed all the three of us.". God replied: "You have answered right, only when man makes himself humble and small, he will see prosperity". And that’s why many times we feel that God does not listen to us....!
