Noble Because of the Spring

In a village in a remote part of town live a middle-aged man with his two daughters. The village is called Guyup Tiyang. The three of them live in a worn-out bamboo-walled house with two spaces in it. Behind the house there are two sapodilla trees that are dense again leaves the fruit. Deliberately indeed, the father of two daughters were sowing pohan sawo, just tuk stomach if a bite of rice can not afford to be bought for the princess. Luckily, not even a single day no fruit is ripe. An immeasurable blessing for a man living in a state of no merit.

The eldest, Alma. The middle-aged man was very proud of him. He wanted to budge, he relieved not to go to school, "No father do not have to feel guilty. I'm okay if I should not go to school. But I asked for a request to my father "he asked one day.
"What is a boy?", Asked the father to his beloved daughter.
"Let Laila stay in school well. Allow me to run the mandate of mother to keep Laila well. I will help my father if necessary. And I will also keep my duties to keep the house and Laila as long as father goes to sell to town. Kumohan yah, I do not want my brother to feel what I experienced. ", Pleaded Alma while holding his father's hand tightly convincing.

Above the old mat, not a word came from his father's lips. Just the teardrops that flowed from the eyelids, and the embrace of him, Alma. How grateful he had a noble princess like an angel of heaven.



One morning Sulaiman, the father of the two princesses, went to the craftsman to pick up the handicraft items he was going to sell to town. That's the job he's been doing. Working to sell people's merchandise and get a salary of ten percent of the proceeds.

Returning to take the goods, he took a chance to say goodbye to the princess to leave, that time he said goodbye to Alma because it was her little daughter, Laila was in school. He said good-bye that he would be back in two or three days. He also did not forget to give money. The ten thousand sheets she took out of her pocket, she gave to Alma for supplies as long as she left them. Alma looked at the money, but she had to be sincere. He must try to make up the money for his needs, especially for Laila. In his heart, he said that he would use the money only for Laila. Let him only eat sawo behind the house as long as Laila still eat rice.

The middle-aged man set out, walking down the cobblestone lane with tall trees on either side. Walking dozens of pounds, yes that's what he must do to get to town. No vehicle can reach his village that is located in the remote area. In his time-consuming journey, he always hums sholawat at the beloved prophet. Not a little time he wasted.

Until somewhere he feels thirsty. He searched for springs all around the place. But as far as the eye can see no wells or rivers are in place. No house anyway. There is only him alone. Until at one time visible from a distance an elderly grandmother with a pitcher in her head. He approached.

Grandma, Grandma. I may ask "hello to the old granny.
"What is your son?" Replied the elderly grandmother.
"I am very thirsty. If you can know where I can find water? "He asked.
"Over there," pointing with wizened hands. "Not far from here is a well. I will also go there to get water. Come with me, "said the grandmother. Eventually Solomon followed the grandmother's steps. And it turns out the road to the well is very far away.

"Where did Grandma stay. Why not take water in the village of grandmother alone "asked Sulaiman critical.
The grandmother explained that she lived in a remote village across the street. He also explained that there was no spring in his village. Many wells have been made but the results are nil. Therefore all citizens are willing to walk far to get water.

Dear Allah. Pity came to Solomon's heart. Appears in his heart to try to make a well in the village. Insha Allah, if Allah permits it will come out springs in the land.

After drinking and thanking the grandmother, she rushed to finish her intention to go to town to sell. Until finally, after two days had passed he came home and told all that he experienced to Alma. Including his intention to wake the well in the village.

"Why father. Do not worry. Better father sell to town. Make a living for our life to be better. Lagian build sumurkan also need a fee to rent a boring machine "Alma express opinion to the father.
Hearing his daughter's expression, she tried to understand. He understands that all this time he and his daughter live in a shortage. But he tried to explain to his daughter the importance of help-help.
"Son, it's not like you used to say that you're jealous of people who are destined to be fortunate. You said they were lucky to get a lot of rewards. Though they pray like we pray. Son, actually we can also give charity. But in another form. Planting trees for example. Dad tell me why daddy planted a sapodilla tree in the back of the house other than for you, dad also intend to get a reward, with oxygen produced for example. You know that the leaves of the sapodilla tree are dense? ". Alma nodded. "And you know that sapodilla tree also bear fruit without knowing the season, fruitful a lot is not it? And not infrequently the fruit was also eaten by bats. But, father sincerely. Because actually it is a charity. Son, you know you may be tired of life that continues like this. However, our condition should not make us only concerned with life in the world. Remember that we also have a life next. For the machine, dad can borrow to a good friend father. Incidentally he has a "clear father.

Alma lowered her head, feeling very embarrassed at what she said. He hugged his father and said, "I allow my father to go on my father's good intentions and I will always pray for my father to be in the village out of the spring".
"May Allah bless you," Sulaiman said as he rubbed the princess's head in his arms.

Until one day, he carried out his good intentions. He went to the village and carried the drills he had borrowed from his best friend. He gathered the heads of families to work together to build a well. Before beginning his drilling, he urged all the citizens present to pray and submit to Allah the All-Wise Will to allow the springs out in the village. Drilling has been going on for a while, but the spring has not yet appeared.

"O Allah Most Gracious, I beg your mercy to bring up the spring in this village. Servant please Yes Robbi "Solomon's prayer after a while drilling and yet also appeared signs of water discharge. Until after the prayer was over and he read basmallah water out. Everyone was happy and gave thanks to God. The villagers were grateful to Sulaiman.
"No, do not thank me. Thank God. This can happen because of His will "answered Solomon.

In addition, in an old worn-out bamboo-walled house inhabited by Sulaiman and his daughter came a clean white-robed man carrying a parcel.
"Wa'alaikumussalam. What do you mean and purpose come here? "Alma asked as she opened the door for the man.
"I am assigned by the Employer of all employers to deliver wages to your father" said the man briefly.
"My father? No, my father is in a village. And he is building a well there "Alma replied.

"No, it's for your father. The father of two daughters named Alma and Laila. He was named Solomon. He is a very pious and kindly servant of God "the man explained and handed Alma a package of money and food.
Alma accepted it. After that the man said hello and left. He did not have time to ask what his name was, the man had disappeared.

Long story short, with God's permission Solomon's life turned to be better. Now Alma can go back to school, no day should not be able to eat again. Solomon is also highly respected and respected. Now, he is a successful trader with his generosity and kind heart. There is no envy in Alma's heart for rich people, because now she can do what they do. Give alms.
