The Flute Maker

There was a young flute maker a devotee of Lord Krishna .
Every day he went into the jungle of bamboo to find the appropriate bamboo to make flute . It took him hours and hours to find the right bamboo from which the sweetness of music could flow . He brought few bamboos home to make flute .
He took the first bamboo tree and started to chop for his work . After few strokes ,a cry came out of bamboo tree "O dear flute maker stop it .I cant take this pain any more ".The flute maker was surprised but said "but I am carving u to sing for my Lord krishna ." The bamboo pleaded and pleaded to stop carving .The flute maker kept the bamboo aside and took the second bamboo piece to carve in perfect flute .
He chopped ,he peeled ,he cut .The outer layer was ready now it was time to carve the softer part .
The knife touched the soft sensitive layer with was in the inner side of bamboo .A cried appeared ,
"STOP STOP i cant bear any more " .The flute maker tried his level best to make him understand that he was almost READY . You are on the finishing line ,just few more peeling and you will be ready to sing the song for my Lord.But the plea of bamboo to leave grew stronger .The flute maker was sad ,he knew that this piece of bamboo could have turned in beautiful flute. With sad heart he kept the piece aside.
He took the last piece and started to chop .He chopped and chopped but no cry was there .
He started peeling and peeling and asked the bamboo "dear are you in pain ?'
The bamboo smiled and said, yes sir I am but I am happy that you have chosen me for the service of Lord .
Tears came out of the flute maker and he kissed the bamboo .He peeled him carved him and made him perfect flute . Next day in the presence of the whole city he played his most devotional song from his flute ...there was total silence ,people were enchanted by the sweetest melody of the flute .

WHICH TYPE OF BAMBOO ARE YOU ?
