Monkey
Once upon a time there was a monkey that was jumping from tree to tree. As he jumped he saw a beautiful walnut tree. He picked up a nut and bit into it. As the shell was bitter, the monkey threw it away and was left without tasting the rich morsel it had inside.
The same thing happens in life. There are people who begin to carry out an activity: learn a trade, play an instrument, start a sculpture, etc. These people, when they encounter the first difficulties, abandon the task begun and, in this way, are left without savoring the satisfactions that the work begun would have brought them, once they had overcome the difficulties of the beginning.
When you have complications, ask God to help you overcome them. Have faith and trust and do not think of throwing in the towel when the first difficulties arise to achieve your goal.
