Rice Bowl Wishes: A Story about a wise blind boy

Life is what you choose to make of it

Old Lady and her adopted children:

Once in a village in China, three young boys, each eleven years old, were adopted by an old lady, Nii Yoo, from an orphanage. She sent two of them, Lan Dua and Swa Jow, to school and dressed them in very fine clothes. However, the third little boy, Gow Sir, was blind, and she treated him as a servant. She dressed him in very old ragged clothes and fed him the food left-over by the other boys. Gow Sir wasn’t sent to school and ran errands for Nii Yoo. 

Fire at Home:

One night, when a deadly fire broke out in the room where they stored rice, Lan Dua and Swa Jow ran out of the house to escape the fire. Gow Sir risked his life, went inside to help Lady Nii Yoo escape the fire. He carried her on his back and both were saved. 

The Rice Bowl:

Knowing how brave and selfless Gow Sir was, the old lady gave him a rice bowl that could grant wishes, before her last breath. She told him that the rice bowl could grant one wish a year, two wishes every two years, and three wishes every three years. Also, she added, all the wishes would be revoked if the rice bowl was broken. So she told him to wish wisely. 

Wishes of Three:

When Gow Sir wished for his vision to see lady Nii Yoo one last time before burying her, the bowl granted him the same. Lan Dua and Swa Jow soon came back and got to know about the rice bowl. The two boys wished for a house, food, and good grades in school without studying. After three years, it was time again to make wishes. While the two boys wished for houses and gold, Gow Sir wished for a library loaded with books.

Every three years, Lan Dua and Swa Jow continued to wish for mansions, gold, wives, sons, and high-rank offices in the village, without working for any of it. Whereas, Gow Sir, wished for more books to replace his old ones and went on reading them. He gathered a lot of knowledge over the nine years. 

The foolish brothers:

After nine years, on one such occasion, when the three of them came together to make wishes from the rice bowl, both Lan Dua and Swa Jow wanted to keep the bowl to themselves. They tried to grab the bowl and dropped it meanwhile. Immediately, Gow Sir lost his vision, and the other two lost all their possessions. 

Knowledge is Best:

Lan Dua and Swa Jow learned the lesson of their stupidity and became the oldest pupils at the school. They became very dedicated to their studies. However, Gow Sir did not lose the knowledge that he gained from the books, and he was known to be among the wisest teachers in China. Even though the rice bowl lost its magic, Gow Sir glued its broken pieces and kept it on his desk as an ordinary bowl. 

Moral of the story: “Life is what you choose to make of it.”
