Good things come to those who wait (trying to write a parable on this)?

Question

I am writing a parable (short story with a moral) and i have decided to use the moral "good things come to those who wait" i am not sure how to write a story showing this. ANY advice? please

Answer 1

How about if you write it as a Christmas story about a girl who wants a doll more than anything in the world, but her parents are way too poor and she's not goiong to get anything for Christmas this year. Regardless of knowing this, she goes and visits the doll she wants in the toy shop window every day on her way home from school. Maybe the girl has a "friend" who is always bragging about how many toys she has and how rich her parents are, and sort of teases the girl about being poor, but the poor girl just holds her head up high at the toy shop window, vowing that someday the doll will be hers. Then maybe at the end of the story, she sees the rich girl going into the toy store the day before Christmas, and she sees the girl's mom and dad hand her the doll she's been visiting, and the rich girl is sort of being rough with the doll and not really caring about it because she's sort of a brat, and on the way out, maybe the rich girl will sort of say something snotty to the poor girl like, "Guess you won't get your doll after all because she's MINE now!" And then maybe her parents will overhear and be shocked by her behavior and order her to give the poor girl her doll as punishment, so she ends up getting her after all. I don't know, do you llike that idea?

that saying is so true. I thought I was out of luck when it came to finding a husband, I went on date after date ready to give up. Finally after giving up I met my husband when he came in for a hair cut, I cut his hair he asked me to marry him that same day. We have been married 5 yrs, never been happier, glad I didnt just marry anyone.
