Well, over the course of my life, I had a various type of story which made me relax and recharge. However, today I would like to talk about a story my grandmother told me. It was an amusing story, like once a cow who was very thirsty and whenever he couldn’t find any type of pond or sea, there was a time he was disappointed. After that he could find out a pond and he came to a pond and he saw this pond is some water in this pond. He tried to drink, firstly he was exhausted because he couldn’t drink. After that he tried to drink and whenever he saw some stone and he threw this stone and put it in this pond. After around 4 or 5 hours he drank this water because he was hard working about to drink and after that he was successful. I gained valuable knowledge from this story because it helps to inscribe from Marathona’s stressful life as well as I felt on cloud nine about this story because this type of story allows you to give motivational message as well as I was really fascinated about this story. I was appraised by my grandmother because this type of story assists me how to achieve any type of goal because without dedication and hard working you cannot be successful.

It was an amusing story about a cow who was very thirsty. Whenever he couldn't find any pond or sea, he felt disappointed. One day, he finally found a pond, and when he arrived, he saw that there was some water in it. He tried to drink, but he was exhausted because he couldn't reach the water.
