In the middle of the sea, a ship was wrecked in a storm. One of the surviving passengers floated to a deserted island. When he regained consciousness, he first thanked God for saving his life. Every day he would come and sit on the shore of the island in the hope that a ship would come to him. But every day he had to come back disappointed. In the meantime he built a small house for him on the beach. He survived by fishing in the sea and hunting fruits from the forest.

In the meantime he went into the forest one day in search of food. When he came back from the forest, he saw that the fire from his cooking stove had turned the whole house to ashes and filled the sky with its black smoke. The man shouted,

‘Oh God, you put it in my destiny too!’

The next morning the sound of a ship woke him up. The ship was coming to the island to rescue him. He said in surprise,

‘How did you know I was stuck here!’

The captain of the ship said, 'Seeing the sign of your burning smoke.'
