Metaphor Stories of the Kind
Here I choose to write a few parables. I don't know why. I just do. XD They just came to me.
The Parable of the Hill:
A man and his son were riding in a car one day when they came across a huge hill.
As they drove up the hill, the boy was constantly frightened, because every now and then it looked like the car was trying to roll backwards. Then when they reached the top the boy said," I wish we wouldn't have had to gone up that hill." The father said,"But son, if we never went up the hill, we never would have gotten to the top."
The Parable of Pregnancy:
There was a man and his wife who were greatly and truly in love and who wanted a child very despirately. After a few months of trying, the wife finally became pregnant. While she was pregnant all she could think about was having the baby. Then finally, her water broke and she was rushed to the hospital. In pain while giving birth she screamed," Why do I have to go through this pain?!" She looked at her husband and yelled,"You did this to me!" He did not reply, but he looked like he had an answer ready. He took care of her, doing everything in his power to mmake her comfortable, but still she screamed,"You did this to me!" Finally the baby was born and the wife said,"What a lovely baby I have had! But why oh, why did I have to go through such pain." The husband finally spoke up and said,"You went through such pain because if you had not, you wouldn't have had the baby. If I am the one who "did this to you", then the baby is mine, but the baby is the product of both of our efforts, yet in the hard times you blamed me, but in the easy times you gave thanks to yourself. Yet still I love you, because you are my wife."
The Parable of the Stream:
Once there was a little peice of the earth that was under the stream. Years passed and earthquakes came and the world's surface changed, and that little piece of earth became a high cliff and the water on that point roared with glee,"I am a waterfall, FEAR ME!". A bass came up and said," How am I to pass?" The waterfall responded, "I am a waterfall, you may not pass!" and the bass swam away. Then a salmon said," Hello, waterfall, I am just passing through." The waterfall said,"I am a waterfall, you shall not pass." Then the salmon said,"But you were once just a stream, and my ancestors passed you, and you will not hold me now." The salmon tried and failed, many times to go up the waterfall. The waterfall then roared," I am waterfall, who can stand against me?" The salmon said,"I am still here, my father and my father's father went through here, so shall I." The waterfall roared a laugh at that as the salmon tried and tried. Then the salmon reached the top. "You see, "Waterfall" though the other fish see you as a blockade, to me, you are just another part of the stream", and the salmon swam on.

Pretty good stuf for writing them yourself dude!
I was unsure about the first, it appeared to have no point to me! Third one was good, like me the salmon never gives up!
I specially liked the second one, its a perfect metaphor for the relationship situation! Good work... Very good work!

The first one is a little different. The hill represents problems. They had to go through the problems to get to the solution. The third one has many meanings:
1. Never give up.
2. Just because you are better than you were, don't think that you are automatically the best.
3. If you have the talent, the hard work, and the determination, you can get past things that would be barriers to others.

The Bear and the Fish
Once there was a hungry bear fishing for his dinner. He pulled a fish out and asked,"Why shouldn't I eat you?" The fish responded,"Because I am small, and will not fill you up." The bear said,"Not a good answer." Then the bear ate him. The bear then pulled out another fish, a catfish and repeated his question,"Why shouldn't I eat you?". The catfish, being dirty and sly said,"I am a catfish, I will taste like mud. You would be better off eating dirt from the ground." The bear responds,"In my hunger, I don't care how you taste." Then the bear eats him. Then the bear catches a bass and repeats his question,"Why shouldn't I eat you?." The bass responds,"Oh, but you should. And will. It is natural for the bear to eat the fish." The bear says,"I am glad you think so." Then the bear eats him. Now these fish had gotten the bear full, and he grabbed for one last fish and caught a large brim. "Why shouldn't I eat you?",asked the bear. "Because you are full",said the brim. The bear let the fish go.

The Psyco and the Councelor
Two men came into a concelor's office one day and sat down, one quickly went to the councelor's chair, and the other, rather reluctantly, went to the patent's lounge chair. "So, I have heard quite a bit about you. Overtolerant tendencies, and a chipper disposition, despite your postition. Tell me, how did you feel when you were first told about this meeting?", asked the man in the councelor's chair. "Well, I was a little nervous, but hey, whatever floats your boat",said the man in the patient's lounge chair. The two men talk for a while the one in the councelor's chair asking questions and the one in the patient's lounge chair answering. Finally the session ends and they walk outside. The one that was in the concelor's chair is escorted back to his cell, and the one that was in the patient's lounge chair awaits his next client.
(Everything is not as it seems)
