DO YOU AGREE? M an never has what he wants, because what he wants is everything

WHAT IS CONTENTMENT? Contentment is not the fulfillment of what you want, but the realization of how much you already have.

 Ethiopia is an African country, its capital city is Addis Ababa.  It is the 2 nd most populous country in Africa, with over 85.2 million people.  Mount Intotto is the highest peak overlooking the city of Addis Ababa, it is about 3,200 meters above the sea level.  Ethiopian economy is the fastest growing in the world with GDP rate 17

MAIN CHARACTERISTICS  ARHA  HAMPTON HASIE  OLD MAN  JUDGE

ARHA  Poor  Courageous  Strong  Obedient  Sincere  Calm

HAMPTON HASEI  Rich  Powerful  Dissatisfied  Bored  Unreasonable  Unjust o MONEY CANNOT BUY HAPPINESS AND CONTENTMENT…

OLD MAN A FRIEND IN NEED IS A FRIEND INDEED..  Wise  Helpful  Faithful  Sincere

JUDGE GREAT MEN ARE NOT ALWAYS WISE...

HE LONGED FOR SOME AMUSEMENT EVEN IF OTHERS MIGHT SUFFER BY THIS

 TERMS OF THE WAGER NO FIRE NO CLOTHES WHOLE NIGHT ON THE TOP OF MOUNT INTOTTO

One man`s meat is another man`s poison.  Arha accepted challenge to help his parents.  He needed someone for moral support.

Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm…

Faith is to believe what we do not see, and the reward of this faith is to see what we believe..

NO SECRET SOURCE OF STRENGTH BUT A FAITHFUL FRIEND

 Hampton refused to give Arha his reward, saying he had cheated him, even the judge gave a wrong verdict.  The wise old man invited everyone to a big feast and helped them to understand that facts do not always teach us the truth.

MORAL THERE IS NO END OF CRAVING. HENCE CONTENTMENT ALONE IS THE BEST WAY TO HAPPINESS,THEREFORE,ACQUIRE CONTENTMENT..

CONCLUSION  Everyone chases after happiness not noticing that happiness is right at their heels.  HAPPINESS DEPENDS UPON OURSELVES.
