Trust

I came home from work one day to find my dog Jimmy with the neighbour's pet rabbit in his mouth, the rabbit was all bloody and dead.

I panicked, i thought my neighbours are going to hate me forever, so i took the dirty, chewed-up rabbit into the house, gave it a bath, blow-dried its fur, and put the rabbit back into the cage at the neighbour’s house, hoping that they will think it died of natural causes.

Later that day, my neighbour was sadly standing outside and asked me, "Hey, did you hear that Fluffy died?"

I din't know what to say.. so i just asked him "Um.. no.. um.. what happened?"

He replied with tears, "We just found him dead in his cage yesterday, and we buried him in the garden, today when we had went outside someone dug him up, gave him a bath and put him back into the cage...wonder who has this bad a vengeance on me"

But will my neighbour believe me if i go and tell him what happened?

Similarly so many situations that we face in life, however unreal they might seem, somehow are true.. there is this thing called trust, which we must place on people whom we know well, think in their shoes and see if it actually might be possible, because the worst thing that can happen to a person is when someone who knows him well doesn't believe him,, When someone whom you think trusts you. turns against you because he doesn't believe you,, someone whom you thought you can leaves you,,

This is one bad thing about trust...But there is also this terrible thing which everyone is aware of, breaking someone’s trust,, when someone whom you trust leaves you, when someone whom you thought you can always count on betrays you,, when someone who you placed your utmost value and confidence turns against you,,

But despite these, if you can find someone whom you trust and someone who trusts you, if the someone in both cases happens to be the same,,, be glad,, you are in the list of people who possess something called good fortune,, something called good will.. :)
