Robert and George were close friends. They were neighbors, schoolmates at school, and later, associates at work. One day, they decided to go on an ocean voyage to explore what the interesting things are around the world. They started their voyage in a cruise ship. Once when they were on their way, the climate turned extremely dangerous. The ship was destroyed amidst the sea. The greater part of the travelers was drowned, however, Robert and George could swim to a close-by island.
The island was deserted. Even a single tree was not there. Robert and George understood that they couldn't make due on the island without divine intercession. They decided to pray to God. Robert and George wanted to see whose petition would be all the more capable. Robert moved toward the eastern tip of the island and George went toward the western tip of the island to make a prayer.\
Robert appealed to God to give him nourishment to survive. Shockingly, he got a heap of food items on the soil of the ocean shore. Following two days, he asked for a lovely young lady as he was feeling forlorn on the island. In a couple of hours, there was a shipwreck close to the island and a solitary survivor; a wonderful young lady. Robert wedded the young lady. Whatever Robert petitioned God for, was allowed to him.
Just about a month after the shipwreck, Robert chose to move back to the place where he grew up. He appealed to God to send him a ship to take him home. Beyond any doubt enough, there came a ship to take Robert and his better half home.
As the couple was going to enter the ship, Robert heard somebody address him. It was only a voice. "Is it true that you are going alone, leaving your sidekick of life here?"
Robert was amazed, "May I know who is this and whom you are alluding to? I have my better half with me!"
The voice stated, "I'm the one to whom you offered your supplications, whom you asked for to spare your life, and whom you asked for sustenance and protect and obviously, a spouse!"
Robert stooped down in wonderment and stated, "Thank you, God!"
At that point, Robert recollected about George, whom he had overlooked this time. He was overwhelmed with blame.
God said to him, "I was not noting your petitions. I was just satisfying George's petitions. He appealed to God for just a single thing! He said 'Please satisfy the majority of Robert's petitions'. That was his lone supplication."
Robert was in tears and hurried to the opposite side of the island. He understood that he had not considered his closest companion George, and was cheerfully making the most of his own life. He couldn't discover George there. He asked God, "Where is George?"
God answered, "He is dead. All the time, he had been praying for you. He did not pray for his own survival. Due to starvation, he died. I took him with me. The man with the brilliant heart ought to be with me! In any case, I will satisfy every one of your supplications as I guaranteed him to do as such!"
Robert was totally broken. He understood why his companion's petitions were all the more intense. It was on the grounds that George's petitions were absolutely caring.
