Join the 99 club

Okay this is an folklore stories and i can say maybe an anecdote too.There is a very rich king who rule the entire island in India.He has all his wishes granted easily,and he is living in luxury ,he gets all the respect from the whole city resident and the most prominent person in the city.But he felt that there is sth missing in his life,he felt unhappy about his life.He felt that he is living a boring life and the worst is that he dont know what makes him feel like that.One day ,he wake up earlier than berfore and take a walk around his castle,and suddenly he listen one of his maid sing a song when cleaning the castle.The king saw a very cheerful expression from the maid,doing his job with no burden at all.So ,the king invites the servant to come to his room,and ask him why he is very happy.He reply,"my lord ,myking, i am just your servant and i have nothing except my beloved wife and two children who loves me very much,they dont complaint about my small revenue,and always cheerme up when i reach home,they always be thankful and have gratitude heart for what i have done to my family so i am happy because i have a very happy family too,my LORD.

The king is still confusing and dont understand so he invites one of the wisest man in the town and discuss this topic and ask for his opinion.The wisest man,say that the servant havent join the 99 club,thats why he live a very happy life.So the wisest man,told the king to put a 99gold coins inside a black plastic bags and put it on the servant bedroom.The servant wake up the next morning and see a goldcoin of plastic and very suprised and he count it there is only 99gold coins,he continue counting the coin think that he has did some mistake in the counting but there is only 99 goldcoins,so he decided to find the gold in the palace,and if he couldnt find it he will buy a new one,so he started to work hard,forget about his family,is not happy like before,and very focus to get more money to have a complete 100 gold coins.His expression is very serious and seems unhappy anymore.

The king become more confusing and puzzled ,and ask the wisest man,what has happen to his servant actually,so the man explained that ,the 99 club is only a metaphor for those people who have so much but seems unhappy,therefore they started to work harder,and forget about another happiness from his family,friends,surrounding and asset that they have.they didnt have a gratitude heart for what they have in their life.They didnt thankful to have a 99 gold coins,but they will to find another one more gold coin,therefore they have less sleeping time , forget about his family and friends,dont have enought time for himself .

After listening to this story,the king now always be thankful for what he have and appreciate every blessing in his life even the smallest blessing of all.
