SEC-S30W4: Building a Fable | The Big Lock and the Small Key

He would constantly listen to the lock's harsh words, but the little key would never say anything. Because the key was very calm. He would not answer the lock's harsh words. He would just smile and look away. The key would think to himself, if only he had strength, everything would be possible. It is the one that comes in handy during work. The key would say to himself, One day I will see what I need.

Years slipped away, each one blending into the next, until something unusual occurred at the landlord's residence. He possessed a golden key, the only thing capable of unlocking a massive door. Then, without warning, the key vanished. A thorough search yielded nothing.

Meanwhile, there were some very important things kept inside the house. Which needed to be taken out immediately. A big hammer was brought, ht and an attempt was made to break the lock, but the lock was very strong. It could not be broken at all. When everyone was disappointed, the old housekeeper reminded him of that small rusty key.

The owner thought, "Will this insignificant key open this big lock again?" As he said this, the owner of the house thought, "Why don't you try it, because I need it now?" The owner of the house thought, "Let's try it because I need it now." The owner of the house thought, "As a last resort, let's put the key inside the lock and see what happens. When he turned it very gently, there was a loud sound and the big lock opened. What was not possible even with a big hammer, that neglected little key did the job.

Seeing this, the proud lock felt a deep sense of shame. He realised then that judging someone's worth by their size and heft was a flawed perspective. The key, almost conspiratorial, murmured, "Brother, you're far stronger, but even that hammer couldn't break through the mess within you. Don't ever underestimate anyone just because they're small. Now you understand how important I am.

That is why I always say one thing. The right skill is much more effective than strength. Many times, even big problems are solved in very simple and small ways, which is not possible with arrogant strength.

Friends, while writing this story, I was thinking about the people around us. There are many people in our society who think of themselves as very big and do not consider people of lower ranks as human beings. But when there is danger, it is those ordinary people who come forward first. Always remember, nothing should be looked down upon, because everyone has a specific place or job. I feel very happy to be able to write this story.
