A Story: Leave the Rest to Me



As a man was climbing the stairs of the lighthouse, he carried a small candle. On the man’s way up to the top, the candle spoke up. “Where are we going?”

“We’re going to the top of this lighthouse and to signals to the big ships on the ocean.” The man answered. “What? How could it be possible for me with my small light to give signals to those big ships?”


“They will never be able to see my light,” bemoaned the candle.  “That’s your part. If your light is small, let it be. All you have to do is keep burning and leave the rest to me,” said the man. A little later, they arrived at the top of the lighthouse where there was a big lamp with a loop behind it. The man lit the lamp with the light of the candle and instantly, the place shone so brightly that the ships on the ocean could see its light.
