A person always has a choice - educational stories from the book "Manners in the Great Kingdom."

 Max woke up. After eating his breakfast and bidding farewell to his mother, father, and sister, Max went to his teacher, who had prepared all the necessary items for his journey. He must remember to pack clothes, a bag, and instructions in case anything unexpected arises during his journey. Max carefully put on his clothes, listened to his teacher's recommendations, and proceeded to the other kingdoms. In the middle of the day, a car stopped next to Max. In that car were a well-dressed father and a son. The father was in his 40s, and his son was twenty years old. The car was brimming with fruits and vegetables.

"Hi! Where are you going, son?" asked the driver.

"I am going to the next kingdom," said Max.

"We are also going there. Come in the car; we will leave you there."

"For how many days will you sell the goods?" asked Max.

"The products are not for sale; they are for exchange." Answer the father and continue to speak.

“In our kingdom, it's clear that people have been living in this manner for many years. All the peasants are obligated to live that way in order to get fewer illnesses. Maintaining excellent hygiene not only prolongs our lives but also enhances our appearance. It is time for my son to get married, but he is still searching for a bride from our kingdom, and we are going to search for her in another kingdom. However, in order to choose a bride, we need to find a girl who is clean and hardworking enough to live in our kingdom. For many years, it has been a custom that, when a boy and a girl don't get along, we select a girl from a different kingdom based on our mutual preferences. In reality, we trade fruits and vegetables from home, where there are girls ready for marriage, for garbage. We ask people from villages with marriage-ready girls to stop there. In the house where there is less garbage and our son likes her, we will ask her for a wife. When we say that we are from the great kingdom, the parents always agree because they know that the life there is better, and we live with love and commitment.

"You've discovered an excellent solution for boys, but I'm confident that there are girls in the great kingdom who face similar issues. How you are deciding such problems?" said Max.

"We have also found a solution to that problem. We took this into consideration when we created the rules for the great kingdom. Every two years we are organizing a race for boys from other kingdoms who are ready for marriage. We determine places where new houses have to be built, having in mind the number of girls who have to be married. The race is based on who is better at his job: masons, smiths, tailors, carpenters, and boys with many other abilities. At the same time in the race, they are building houses for the new families. The masons are putting brigs; the carpenters are making tables, chairs, fences, and beds needed for the new houses. The tailors are stitching all the necessary items for the houses. Our king sources all the materials directly. Therefore, the new family has a solid foundation for life, experiencing fewer problems and greater family happiness. The girls and their families make up the jury, observing the working process closely. When they like a boy, they send the girl to help and encourage him. If the boy likes the girl, he will allow her to come and help him. This helps them meet, marry, and find a home."

Two other roads split off from the main road. "I wish you good luck and success; I will take the other road."

"I wish you the same for you young boy, and continue driving the cart."

The lesson is that in life sooner or later we have to help ourselves. By taking actions that benefit ourselves.

 Just talking does not help us.  We definitely have to act. Two boys often went with their father to collect wood in the forest. Once their father said: "Children, go get wood by yourself!" "That's right, Dad," said the boys.  "What if the car breaks down, who will fix it for us?" "If your car breaks down, son, call out trouble."She will do it for you. The two boys listened to their father. Harnessed the oxen. They went to the forest. Chop wood. They loaded the car well. You left. Won't you, their car broke down in the middle of the road. The boys stopped and started shouting: "No Trouble , No Trouble!" Come fix our car! They shouted, they shouted, no one called them. It was getting dark, and there was no trouble yet. At last the younger boy said: Father, this damned trouble will not come. It got dark already. Let's get on our own and fix our car as much as we can! The two boys took the ax and the adze. They bent down and a click here, a click there fixed the car. When they left, their father asked them: "Well, how did you spend your time in the forest? " "Leave it, Dad!" they said. Our car broke down in the middle of the road. We screamed, screamed the cursed trouble, we cleared our throats, but she didn't call us. We saw that he would not come. We took the ax and the adze and repaired the car as best we could. "There, my son, this is trouble!" said their father. "You called her, and she was with you. " Since there was no one to fix your car, you fixed it yourself. In other words, your misfortune has fixed it. The lesson is that in life sooner or later we have to help ourselves. By taking actions that benefit ourselves. Just talking does not help us. We definitely have to act.
