Once a king was on a voyage in his ship when a great storm arose. One of his slaves who had never been at sea, began to cry out of fear. Nobody could silence him and he continued to cry louder and louder.

In anger the king asked;
"Is there no one in this ship who can silence this coward?"
All the king's advisors could not utter a word.

Finally a wise man who happened to be a passenger said,
"I think I can silence him provided you give me full permission to do as I please with him."

Anxious to know what this wise man could do, the king said,
"go ahead, you have my permission."

The wise man then called a few of the king's soldiers and ordered them to throw the slave into the sea. Once thrown into the water the poor slave screamed out with fear and thrashed out wildly with his legs and arms trying to swim.

But within seconds, the wise man ordered the soldiers to haul him up on board again.

Back on deck, the slave lay exhausted and frightened, but was absolutely silent.

The king was amazed by the sudden change in the slave, and asked for an explaination.

The wiseman said,

" WE NEVER REALIZE HOW WELL OFF WE ARE IN ANY SITUATION UNTIL WE FALL INTO A WORSE ONE"
