Live a Happy Life eBooks

Three young men were captured by a tribe of people living in a secluded rainforest. The chieftain declared that they will be punished but will be given a chance to obtain freedom if they will abide with his  conditions. He commanded, “Each of you must look for any kind of fruit in the forest and bring it to me. You will be guarded by my swordsmen, so don’t attempt an escape. Bring me ten fruits of the same kind and I’ll tell you how to obtain your freedom. Just remember that your choice of fruit is related to your punishment.”

So with haste the three went out in different directions and searched for their fruits.  After a while, the first young man went back and had on his hands ten ripe bananas, thinking the chief would like it.  The brutal chief then gave the second condition for their freedom, “My men will put these fruits one by one into your body through your butt. You have to endure it and you must not laugh.  If  you  laugh, you’ll  be  my slave for life!” So the  young  man  was punished and  because  of  the awkward feeling he had while the bananas were inserted in, he laughed and was sentenced to life enslavement. 

The next youth arrived oblivious of what had just happened; he had a bunch of grapes on his hands. The ruler repeated his second condition with emphasis: “…don’t laugh and you’ll be free!” He felt lucky and thought that the chief was crazy to give him such an easy task. He immediately bowed down, but when one of the chief’s men attempted to insert a grape in, he started to laugh so hard throwing himself on the ground because he saw… that the last young man was coming carrying ten pineapples on his shoulders. And the three young men lived laughingly-ever-after in the house of the chieftain!
