The story of the people that show dogs.
Back in the days when the settlers were moving to the West, a wise man stood on
a hill outside a new Western town. As the settlers came from the East, the wise
man was the first person they met before coming to the settlement. They asked
eagerly what the people of the town were like.
He answered them with a question: "What were the people like in the town you
just left?"
Some said, "The town we came from was wicked. The people were rude gossips who
took advantage of innocent people. It was filled with thieves and liars."
The wise man answered, "This town is the same as the one you left."
They thanked the man for saving them from the trouble they had just come out
of. They then moved on further west.
Then another group of settlers arrived and asked the same question: "What is
this town like?"
The wise man asked again, "What was the town like where you came from?" . These
responded, "It was wonderful! We had dear friends. Everyone looked out for the
others' interest. There was never any lack because all cared for one another.
If someone had a big project, the entire community gathered to help. It was a
hard decision to leave, but we felt compelled to make way for future
generations by going west as pioneers."
The wise old man said to them exactly what he had said to the other group:
"This town is the same as the one you left."
These people responded with joy, "Let's settle here!"
How they viewed their past relations was their scope for their future ones.
