A cosmic god had a horse. The horse was beautiful and also it had many good qualities. But it wanted to be more perfect in every way. It especially wanted to become beauty unparalleled.
One day the horse said to the cosmic god, “0 Lord, you have given me beauty. You have given me other good qualities. I am so grateful to you. But how I wish you could make me more beautiful. I would be extremely, extremely grateful if you could make me more beautiful.”
The cosmic god said, “I am more than ready to make you more beautiful. Tell me in what way you want to be changed.”
The horse said, “It seems to me that I am not well proportioned. My neck is too short. If you can make my neck a little longer, my upper body will be infinitely more beautiful. And if you can make my legs much longer and thinner, then I will look infinitely more beautiful in my lower body.”
The cosmic god said, “Amen!” Then immediately he made a camel appear in place of the horse. The horse was so disheartened that it started to cry, “0 Lord, I wanted to become more beautiful. In what way is this kind of outer form more beautiful?”
The cosmic god said, “This is exactly what you asked for. You have become a camel.”
The horse cried, “Oh no, I do not want to become a camell I wish to remain a horse. As a horse, everybody appreciated my good qualities. Nobody will appreciate me as a camel.”
The cosmic god said, “Never try to achieve or receive more than I have given you. If you want to lead a desire-life, then at every moment you will want more and more. But you have no idea what the outcome will be. If you cry for a longer neck and legs, this is what will happen. Each thing in my creation has its own good qualities. The camel is not as beautiful as you are, but it carries heavy loads and has a tremendous sense of responsibility.

Wonderful story.. loved it.
Good stories for everyone.
The almighty has given enough to every individual on this earth, so never ask him about what you haven’t. Be satisfied with whatever you’ve got.
Good One!!!
Very timely message. People search happiness everywhere but not with in !!!
Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
The moral is, don’t take more than you need.
Love yourself for what you are. Don’t try to make any change.
Good one. I really like it.
The story is very beautiful. Send many moral stories like this story.

A good and inspirational story.
nice story.
we should not ask for more than we need.This is a nice story.
It is very simple, nice, good sensible story very hopeful.
Good one.
This story is for all the girls who visit beauty parlors often to change their looks.
Big eyes, sharp nose etc doesn’t make a girl look beautiful.
The best cosmetics are Confidence for eyes and Smile for lips.
God already set the rules for us, don’t try to go beyond what he has given to us. What is yours, you will get indefinitely.
This Story Makes Me Stop Wishing….
This type of stories really motivate everyones. We must read and tell others.
This story really speaks to me. It gives me the reassurance that I am beautiful just the way I am. Very inspiring!
yes really good
good story but,it could be MORE LONG!!!
It is a sweet story. I really liked it. It is an inspirational story for the people who really think that they are not beautiful.
This is a wonderful piece to all those creatures who forget what they are in the race to achieve what they don’t have. Want is not something bad, but the want to have something else despite already having some marvelous qualities is what we all are characterized, including me.
It is a logic story
This story is for the people who think they are not beautiful.
I like the story very much…. it shows the character of a person who’s not contented of God’s gift to him/her.
Nice story………….
Good story, whatever you have received from god be satisfied with that & live happily because god always gives us whatever we need looking at our life style
It is a good moral of the story. I like this story.
I like the story but I feal god always gives us best thing if we are greatful for what we have.
I love it
I really have no idea about how many of you come across my comment. But… Did any one ever try thinking that why sometimes in life, we see people dying, we see people who really don’t have nothing at all & some live their life king’s size. What do you have to say about them? Did the rational enough God really create the mankind equal enough and then preached us of no discrimination? We are not born by choice, but born by chance…
Nice one..
I love this story.
A very good story for those who are not satisfied with Gods gift to them and to those who under estimate themselves
There is a nice moral in the story. I liked it.
What utter drivel. Fodder for the unthinking masses. If everyone thought this way you wouldn’t be using this website. What an evil horse wanting to better itself.
I like it, send more motivational stories by which i learn more……………..and apply in my life.
This is the most wonderful story a person can write to explain human nature. I love it totally………..<3<3<3
:):)
So nice!…………
Wow it is really nice. This story gave me a lesson, actually all my family members are fair but my color is whitish, I wanted to be as they are, but now I do not want to be fair… I realized now that who I am is what God gave me, that is perfect for me.
hahaha you know what please remove this story! only this! because although there is a moral lesson there is no such thing as a cosmic god there is only one god it’s Jesus Christ! not cosmic god!
Lesson it teaches. nice.
Contended people are rich in reality….
Very nice. Lovely.
As rightly said, every creature on this earth is beautiful & has a purpose for its being.
There’s a really good lesson in this story.
Good One.
Great story
Nice one
Good story. Crazy too…
Superb
NICE STORY ………..
Story really gives self satisfaction…..
Happy with what you have don’t aspect which is unrealistic.
It’s me really realize that I should be contented in whatever God had given me..thanks a lot for this story it really enlightened me..
Interesting!!!!!!!!
Really! Why don’t we understand the value of what we have but always want those things which are not suitable for us; and can’t even understand the hints of almighty.
Nice lesson from this story. Don’t make surgical operation, the face will be destroyed.
It is a fantastic one. Don’t expect more than what you are! The moral is awesome.
Heart touching
Nice one, good lesson to greedy people in the world!
Jesus said be content with what I have given you.
Good story ….. written up beautifully…….
Nice story..but it brings the message that God is limiting our potential to achieve more (at least that’s what I see). I don’t claim to know a lot about God, but I do feel in my heart that He wants us to achieve more than what we have at the moment. I would rather say hold on to your desires, but align with God (whoever you perceive Him to be) to help you achieve them – according to His will.
Good Story….Sometimes we ask for more to GOD by thinking that we must need something extra, but GOD knows which is required exactly to all of us…..
I appreciate what I am, I am a reason of God creation of me.
What God gave is the most important
you must be proud of yourself.
Inspiring story… it makes me realized how perfect I am… I just need to develop of what I have now… Thank you LORD your the best ever… luv U
Wonderful!!!
Great story with a beautiful moral.
This story is too meaningful……..everyone should read it. I just loved it.
A Simple Story with a great Moral lession …….
Sometimes it is good to be Normal than trying representing yourself as a Supernormal and ultimately ending being an Abnormal or a Paranormal…..
Inspiring story.
A good story with a good moral.
Always be happy with what yourself. Never greed for more which puts you in a situation in which you don’t want to be . .
Unique we are.
Always hope & dream big…
I don’t agree with this story….
An inspiring story to tell; For sure I am fearfully & wonderfully made. I should appreciate the way God created me. Thank you.
Wonderful story to encourage us that we should appreciate the way God has created us.
Carve your prayers before you let it fall, every human is the only one in his kind and can be sacred. We shouldn’t forget beauty is only skin deep, something is more immortal, is beauty in manner. Thanks a lot.
The narration of the story is good.
Every body has their own skills, one becomes perfect only if he recognises himself.
Never expect for higher things which doesn’t suit us.
Live a happy life with the one that we have.
Want stories about thinking, imagination, hard work…
Nice story..we will thank to God what we have..!!
I really love the story. It makes me realized that we have to be contented in everything that we have.
Wonderful story
Thank you for this story .. I can now have my piece for the incoming story telling contest on our school ! HAHA .
Very good story, what we have is enough, and should be satisfied.
I loved it, it has a great moral.
It was just an awesome story.
Nice!!!
