|    There was a person who went with 
              a kind of researching group to Africa. Over there, there was no 
              transportation and communication was very difficult. So they sometimes 
              had to use helicopters.  |    One native guy, who went with the 
              scientists, the researching group, was supposed to help them with 
              translation.  | 
         
          |             
              Ah, the helicopter is too 
                noisy! The people are talking too much! They smoke too much!The seat is too narrow. The space is too tight.
  As soon as he got into the helicopter, he 
                lets out a torrent of complains.
    
           |    
              He kept wailing, complaining, moaning, 
                and shouting all the time. So a crew member took him out, hung him 
                from the wing with a rope, dangling around. | 
       
          |    
                |  This 
              is the problem with us too. Sometimes we don't appreciate a good 
              situation, good friends or a good companion until we've lost him 
              or her, until we've lost the situation, or until the situation has 
              become worse, has become more unbearable. Then we'd be happy just 
              to have what we had. Similarly in life, if we complain too much, 
              too unreasonably, then God will put us through a lot of trouble 
              until we stop our mouth. (Master laughs) Then we pray at that time, 
              "Oh, please save us." (Master & everyone laugh) That's 
              how people pray every day (Master laughs) just because they used 
              to complain before, and they got into trouble. Then they think of 
              what they had, and appreciate it more.
