Some one sees you

           
                               Some one sees you

The ancient wisdom teaches that  man can never hide his actions from Nature , the Supreme power. The Sun, moon, stars , the trees , are all supposed to be eternal witnesses of his deeds. Especially, an act of dishonesty is never truly hidden.Many stories depict how trees came to save an honest man from punishment by being witness in law suits filed  by dishonest people.

Once upon a time a man decided to sneak into his neighbor's fields and steal some wheat. " If I take just a little from each field, no one will notice," he told himself, and it will add up to a nice pile of wheat for me." So he waited for the darkest night, when thick clouds covered the moon, and he crept out of his house. He took his youngest daughter with him.
" Daughter, " he whispered, " you must stand guard, and call out if some one sees me."
The man stepped into the first field to begin reaping, and before long the child called out, " Father, some one sees you!" The man looked all around, but he saw no one, so he gathered his stolen wheat and moved on to a second field.
" Father, some one sees you!" The child cried again. The man stopped and looked all around, but once again he saw no one. He gathered more wheat, and moved to a third field.
A little while passed, and the daughter cried out, " Father, some one sees you!"
Once more the man stopped his work, and looked in every direction, but he saw no one at all, so he bundled his wheat and got into the last vast field.
" Father, some one sees you !, " the child called him again. The man stopped reaping, came out hurriedly, looked all around, and once again found no one. " Why in the world do you keep saying some one sees me?" , he angrily asked his daughter. " I have looked everywhere, and I don't see any one."
" Father," murmured the child, " Someone always sees you from above."
What  a great truth in the words of the little girl !
