The Blessing
The hermit walked through the village, begging for alms. He lived on the mountain top in a cave. The mountain was always beautiful anytime of the year and provided for the hermit. But there were other needs and for that the hermit had to come to the village. He preached to the villagers and treated their ailments as he came from a physicians family. He came walking to the village from the mountain-top which was a long journey that he made from time to time. He went door to door begging for alms to gtet a little extra help. The folks of the village were kind and prepared some food and supplies for him. He was always happy that they did their bit to help him. Life was simple and not very complicated in the village. There was not much of a problem as the entire village shared all their resources. One fine day, as the sun rose among the mountains and the hermit began his walk towards the village, he heard a lot of noise and celebration. O
