The cleaver shoemaker . AI-Generated.
he tale of a poor shoemaker who lived in a small village with his wife. He had no work in the village and soon ran out of money even to buy food, so one day he decided to leave and tell his wife, "I should try my luck in the big city; I might be able to get a decent job there." When the shoemaker arrived in the big city, he would go around the streets shouting, "Get new shoes made!" or "Get your old shoes made to look just like new ones, get new shoes made get shiny new ones made-new shoes The first day the shoemaker was unemployed, so the following day he went around the streets of the large metropolis once more, yelling, "Get new shoes made, get shoes made." The shoemaker sat at the door of the home and stitched up those shoes. Here, my lady, the shoes are ready how much one copper coin here you go. A woman yelled out to him, "Mr. Shoemaker Man, these shoes please sure madam." As soon as he turned the corner and went into the next street, a woman cried out to him, asking him to mend a few pairs of shoes. The shoemaker fixed the shoes, collected the money, and left. I made a good amount of money today. If I keep working like this, I'll soon have enough money to buy a donkey. He worked very hard, and after a few days, he had four gold coins. He decided to buy a donkey with two of them, and the next day, he packed up his belongings and headed home. On the way, he passed through a jungle, and, god save me, he saw a group of thieves. These thieves will take away all of my money, and I'll be impoverished once more. What can I do? The shoemaker was very clever; he didn't give up and came up with a scheme, tying one gold coin around the donkey's neck and purchased a chicken farm. Meanwhile, the robbers had also arrived at their hiding place with the donkey, and their leader told them all, "As the leader of this gang, I will be the first to keep the donkey with me." The thieves obeyed their chief, who that night slept in the stable with the donkey. When the chief woke up the following morning, he saw that nothing was in the stable and realized that the cobbler had tricked them. Meanwhile, another thief had made his way there. Keith, you got the gold; tell us how many coins a donkey has created. You'll have to find out for yourself As the thieves realized they had been duped, they all kept the donkey with them. The chief called a meeting and said, "The shoemaker has fooled us. We will teach him a lesson. He sold us his ordinary donkey for 50 gold coins. We shall take our money back from him and punish him for daring to dupe us. Yes, let's go." They then left for the shoemaker's home. While working on the farm, he noticed the thieves approaching. He hurried inside the house and said to his companions, When the thieves come and ask to talk with me, I tell them that I work on the farm and send our dog, Milo, to call me and tell them so. A little while later, the robbers arrived and asked to speak with the shoemaker. I'll send the dog to call for him since he went to the farm. Go tell your master that some people have arrived to see him, Milo. What's up with this? Will milo actually convince your husband to come here? I'm sure he gets it all; whenever I need to talk to him while he's at the farm, I just send milo to him and milo fulfills my message The shoemaker arrived and said, "Oh, it's you milo told me that you wish to speak with me we got nothing from the donkey you cheated us lied to us" as the thieves were speaking to the shoemaker's wife. Listen, I'm positive you erred. After a little resistance, the shoemaker agreed to sell them the dog. The thieves took Milo and fled, but when they arrived at the cave, the chief declared that he would be the first to keep the dog. Okay, we believe you, but you will also have to sell us this dog. No, not at all. I cannot sell it. We shall pay you 40 gold coins for it When they arrived at the cave, the chief said that he would be the first to keep the dog with him; the others obeyed him and departed. The shoemaker initially refused to sell them the dog, but eventually consented to sell it to them. The thieves stole Milo and fled. [Crowd cheers] The headman gave his daughter Camilla's name. I'm going to work, Camilla. If anybody comes to ask for me, please send Milo to call me, as you mentioned, father. A little while later, a man asked the chief's daughter to call her father. Please wait. I'll send for him right away. Mallow, go inform Dad that someone is here to see him. Milo fled the chief's house, and rather than heading to the house After realizing that Milo had to have gone back to his master when the thief arrived home in the evening, he went to the shoemaker's house. He is now here, and I believe he has been missing me. Give him some time, and eventually, he will begin to accept you The next day, after being taken back by his master, the chief gave Milo to one of his comrades. Milo then lived with each member of the gang individually, but every day he would return to the shoemaker, and everyone realized they had been duped once more. They talked about how this time they would not be duped and that they would teach the shoemaker a lesson. When they got to the shoemaker's house this time, they ignored everything the man had to say. They threw him in a sack and went to teach him a lesson. The shoemaker laid in the sack silently as they passed a church, and one of the robbers said, "It's so hot, let us go.”We can wait until the evening to finish the work they left him there while we have a little nap in the chapel and they all entered the church, which was perched on a hill. A herd of pigs was strolling by when the shoemaker heard the swineherd's words, and he became inspired to yell, "I won't do it!” loudly. The shoemaker was approached by the swineherd, who had heard his voice and asked, "Wait what happened? Who put you in that sack? They want to get me married to the king's daughter, but I don't want to get married. Why, mate, are you crazy? If I had been in your position, I would have definitely married that princess.” If that is the case, then come, I'll put you in the sack and you can marry the princess, of course, but first let me get you out. The swineherd let the shoemaker out of the sack and got inside it. The shoemaker tied him up and took his pigs and left. The thieves left the church in the evening, took the sack, and said, "Listen, let's throw him here in the mud this will teach him a lesson." The thieves then left, returning from there, and saw the shoemaker on the road. They were shocked to see him there and wondered how he got there, as there was a magical place beneath that mud and these pigs are the guardians of that gold. I came out with assistance and took some gold with me. I'm just going to go back to sleep there while we wait to transport us to that enchanted location. I do as we say, okay, but if you insist that the group of thieves arrived at the location where the shoemaker was , All of the thieves tied themselves up in the sack, and the cobbler dumped them all into the mud if they wanted the gold and then left the pigs on them. Hey, he fooled us again. Hey, brother, get a shower. We won't bother you anymore. Please don't leave us like this. The thieves kept shouting the pigs licks. The thieves saw this, laughed, and went home. From then on, he lived contentedly and peacefully with his wife

The Art of Forgetting
Writer Chen Jingru, when talking about Zhuangzi, once said: "To summarize Zhuangzi's philosophy in one word, it would be 'forget.'In the book Zhuangzi, the word 'forget' appears 87 times.In Zhuangzi's view, only by forgetting external matters, life and death, and the self can one reach a state of transcendent freedom."Life in this world is like being entangled in vines, with trivial matters, material desires, and worldly troubles binding us tightly.If you are too attached and keep everything in your heart, big or small, life will only become more burdensome.Understanding how to let go, clearing away unnecessary burdens, will naturally lead to the disappearance of conflicts and worries.You must let go of what should be let go and forget what should be forgotten in order to achieve physical and mental ease, living freely and comfortably.

Dreams at the Fingertips
Rizky was different from most of the children in his village. While his friends played with kites in the fields or fished in the river, Rizky preferred to stay in his small room, eyes glued to the computer screen. The computer wasn’t anything fancy—it was an old hand-me-down from a neighbor. But to Rizky, it was a window into a larger world, one full of limitless possibilities.

How I Earned One Million Reels Views on Instagram
A year ago, I was just another Instagram user, scrolling endlessly through content, admiring the creativity of others, and wondering how they managed to gain such massive followings. I enjoyed making short videos, but my reels barely reached a few hundred views. I often questioned if I would ever break through the noise and create something that resonated with a larger audience.
