REAL EVIDENCE OF GRATITUDE - MORAL STORY

Marshal was a owner of a vineyard. He brewed high quality wine there. Many flies used to fall in the wine. Marshal used to collect them with care, dry their wings and when they were able to fly, he would let them free.

Once, a competitor filed a fake case against Marshal. The case came to the court. The witnesses were all decorated by the competitor. So, they all gave false statements against Marshal. The judge finally asked, "Marshal, do you have anything to say?" Marshal said, "Your Honour, I have no witnesses on my side, but, I am innocent." The judge replied, "How is it possible to count on your words alone against so many witnesses?" and was about to write his judgement.

At that moment an army of flies came buzzing into the court and surrounded the judge. They made patterns in the air as a symbol of Marshal's innocence. The judge was astonished at the act. He understood that Marshal was innocent and liberated him from the case. Marshal was thankful to the flies for being his true witnesses.
