Hello dear friends of steemit, thank you for being present on my blog and accompanying with reading my post. This is an adaptation of the popular tale "Nasreddín and the invitation to eat". Navigating the web I cross with this beautiful story that speaks of a young prodigy, in a situation teach something very important to his friends, a beautiful story that begins well.

Many years ago in an old village of India lived a young man of great knowledge whom all knew as shamal, but better known for his intelligence by what they commonly called the child prodigy.

Shamal was a young adventurer, he was in his genes to cross the villages to acquire experiences, being exposed all day strange things happened to him, of which after resolving they had many experiences, this was the method of learning that liked the young person to learn.

This young man was very dear and friend of all, his friendships went from humble young men to royalty boys, one of his friends the son of the great Raja lived in a lush palace, one day he sent his messengers to invite the young Shamal , Who I accept without hesitation.

All day I wait anxiously for the night to come, although they were friends for a long time, this was the first time I invited him to the palace, when night came Shamal set out on his way to the royal house, when he arrived he was frozen by what Who saw his eyes, looked beautiful from a distance, was dazzling up close, the gardens were more precious than they seemed, the house was imposing.

On arrival he was greeted by two royal guards posing on either side of the huge wrought-iron gate, introduced himself as Shamal's friend to the raja's son and to announce his arrival because he had been invited to a royal dinner.

Some of the guards approached the young man to look at him haughtily, after observing him from head to toe and seeing that he was wearing worn old clothes of a beggar, he said.

Sorry, you will not be able to join!

The young man tried to keep calm and said again

Sorry, I think you do not understand, check with the son of raja and see that I was invited!

The guard believed himself too clever to be deceived by a linyera, royalty would never invite such a being to a royal dinner.

Please do not insist, leave the door, or I'll have to take it out myself! The guard said contemptuously.

Shamal was very intelligent to make a scandal, accepted willingly and retired from the palace, he could not deny that he felt very bad and despised by his social condition, then he came up with something brilliant.

Decided to visit another friend who owns a tailor's shop, if it was within reach he would surely help, when he arrived at the house was very well received.

Come on, come on dear friend!

How have you been, how can I help you?

I came to bother you, I was invited to a royal dinner in the palace and I have no clothes for the occasion!

Maybe you can help me?

Of course, my friend Shamal! I'm looking for something of your size right now!

The old tailor I knew from ceremonial protocols, I invited his young friend to take a bath and comb the gomina, not only gave him excellent clothes for the occasion, but also offered an exquisite French perfume.

Shamal accepted all the advice of his friend the tailor, bathed, combed, and dressed in some clothes worthy of Raja himself, a long white shirt embroidered with silver threads and ruby ​​buttons, matching a beautiful pair of trousers and a Pair of sandals with gold brooches, looked in the mirror and could not believe his elegance.

Before leaving, he thanked his old friend and promised to return the costumes.

Slowly but steadily he went to the palace gates

When he arrived, he appeared before the royal guards and reported that he was invited to the royal dinner, the guards recognized him, but this time he could not object, as if he were someone else, they opened the great wrought-iron gate and wished it to pass An excellent evening.

One of them approached and told him

Please, gentleman, let me announce it!

Together they walked a few meters, passing the beautiful garden awaited the attendants of the palace, the guard presented the young gentleman.

Please accompany Mr. Shamal to the royal salon, he was invited by his Highness to dinner tonight!

Welcome, Mr. Shamal, the boy is waiting to start dinner!

Already in the royal hall was welcomed by his friend, who was very happy to see him

Thank you very much for coming Shamal we were waiting for you! Sit down this place has been waiting for you and at the same time gave the order to serve dinner, the royal table was full of wealthy children, young people to whom life has rewarded.

Seconds later they began to parade the easement with the starter, it was an exquisite soup of tomatoes, the young Shamal had much appetite being the first to start dinner.

I take the napkin from the table and put it on her skirts, then she shrugged her arm to leave a scrap of cloth on the sleeve of her shirt and put it inside the bowl of soup, everyone present stunned the situation, Murmuring in the royal hall.

His friend the host was not out of his astonishment, so he could not help asking what was happening, because he acted that way.

Excuse Shamal, what is this behavior due to? Or is it a habit of your home, to bless food in this way?

Of course, of course, I owe you an explanation! Said the young prodigy.

I have appeared in the palace a few hours before dressed in the only clothes I have, well you know that we are humble family and there is no budget to buy new clothes, as they were rags would not allow me to enter, then come back with these clothes worthy of A Raja and I was accepted at the same instant.

This has made me reflect and draw my own conclusions, apparently in high society is more courageous to dress than the person you saw, in conclusion are the clothes that should have the privilege of eating this exquisite soup.

Everyone present including the host were frozen by the comments of the Young Shamal, ashamed they lowered their heads, the host got up from his chair and apologize to the young prodigy and promised that it would never happen again and that would train all the servants of the Kingdom not to judge by appearances.

The indications of the young man of the royalty to his servants was, to give the true value to the beings by what they are and not by what they appear, not to despise to anyone no matter the aspect that presents.
