Talent gift at birth

Happy is he who comes to this world with some talnet. However, many of us take this gift for granted and often do not use it. In order for a man to progress, he must work hard to improve and use his talent. This folk tale tells us what happens when we do not use our talent.
A miser cashed all his property and bought a lump of gold and buried it near a wall, so he kept going there and looking at it. One of his wage earners who worked at that place noticed his frequent visits, saw what was going on, dug up the gold and took it away. When that miser came later and saw that the hiding place was empty, he started whining and pulling his hair out. A man saw him lamenting and, finding out the reason, said: "Don't grieve. Take a stone and put it in the same place and think that your gold is lying there. You didn't use it while it was there. "

Srecan je onaj ko na ovaj svet dodje sa nekim talnetom. Medjutim mnogi od nas taj dar uzmu kao zdravo za gotovo i neretko ga ne iskoristimo. Da bi covek napredovao mora uporno raditi da svoj talenat poboljsa i iskoristi. Ova narodna prica nam kazuje sta se desava kada svoj talenat ne koristimo.

Neki škrtac unovči celi svoj imetak i kupi grumen zlata te ga zakopa kraj nekoga zida, pa je neprestano odlazio onamo i razgledao ga. Jedan od njegovih nadničara što su na tom mestu radili opazi njegove česte dolaske, prozre što je na stvari, iskopa zlato i odnese ga. Kada kasnije dođe onaj škrtac i vide da je skrovište prazno, stade kukati i čupati kosu. Neki ga čovek ugleda gde jadikuje i saznavši razlog reče: “Ne tuguj. Uzmi kamen i stavi ga na isto mesto pa misli da ti zlato onde leži. Ta nisi se njime služio ni dok je bilo tu.”
