Holy Box

There was a box ina village.It was an old wooden box.All worshipped the box.It was put there by their great great grandparents.People thought there was some precious things in the box..They were illiterate and fearful..One day a stranger came from a distant land..he was so curious to know what is inside the box..Natives didn't allow him to open the box.There was a temple cermony in the village .while the villagers were in the cermony,the strangeropened the box.Dust andpungent smell came out of the box.He saw torn papers,cloths ,bookworms and dust inside the box.Thinking about the foolishness of people the stranger went away.
