Once a traveler passed by a forest. It was a hot afternoon and he felt very tired. After a while he sat under a tree to rest. He felt very comfortable about the shade of the tree.

While resting， he started to feel thirsty and thought only if he could have some water then he could solve his trouble. As soon as he wished， a bottle of water appeared before him like magic. He was happy to see and drink it.

After a while， he started to think of food. As soon as he thought of it， a plate full of nice food appeared. He ate with his full satisfaction.

Eating too much food made him sleepy. He lay down and said to himself， “Its too difficult to sleep on this terrible place. It would be nice if I could sleep on a soft bed.” As he expressed these words in his mind， a good result appeared. He slept on it happily at once.

He didnt know he was sleeping under an unusual tree. Its a wish tree in India. After a while， when he woke up， he saw it was almost night time and he was all alone in the forest. So he worried about all the wild animals in forest and negative things started in his mind. He thought a tiger might come and kill him. As soon as he thought， the terrible accident happened.

A positive thinking leads to positive results. So we should always be positive.
