John was seeking wisdom from his grandpa.
"Grandpa, teach me something wise."
"John, if you go to the wood behind at night, and if you see firefly, you will see the wisdom behind it."
In the next 3 evenings, John went to the wood and searched for firefly. He did not see any.
"Grandpa, there was no firefly in the wood. I have been searching them three nights and saw nothing."
"Don't be silly. Come, let's go to the wood together."
John and Grandpa brought a torch and went to the wood at the night. That night, it was pitch dark. However, with the torch, they saw the trail and trees along the trail. They were in the woods for three hours and did not see any firefly.
"See, Grandpa. I told you that there was no firefly in the woods."
Suddenly, Grandpa put off the torch. It was pitch dark.
"Grandpa, what were you doing? It is pitch dark. How do we get out of the woods."
"Be quiet..." Grandpa said to the John. After Grandpa and John were silent for a while, surely firefly appeared everywhere in the wood.
"Listen, firefly is everywhere in the wood. However, when you have a torch, you do not see them. Wisdom is like firefly. It is everywhere; however you would not notice them as long as you have a torch in your hands. The wisdom will come to you when you are stumbled in your life, career, health, or relation. The wisdom will come when you quiet down and allow them to appear in your life.
The story is dedicate to church friends whose life are touched by illness or some other misfortune.
