Story 1 "This is World" and "This is Life"

In the World, whoever i have seen in my life regardless of their language, the first question asked by them is "Why god creates so many troubles in my life?".
Whenever this question raised to me, I tell them a small story which is from Buddhist.

There is a small village, a boy went into the riverside to play. meanwhile, there was a secreaming noise Help Me! Help Me! he looked around in the riverside he saw one crocodile caught by net. Crocodile asked the boy for help to release from the net. The boy replied, "If i help you would kill me" then crocodile replied, "I promise; I won't kill you, please help me. It cries". Then, boy trusted his word and started to cut the net. As soon as crocodile head came out from the net he grabbed the boy's leg. Then the boy cried and asked, "Is it fair?" crocodile replied, "So what? This is what world and life. The boy didn't fear about his death. But he couldn't accept crocodile's word. Slowly crocodile started to swallow the boy with his mouth. When the boy slowly entering into its mouth, he asked the birds in the tree. What crocodile said, Is that true?, The bird replied, "We are safely nesting the eggs in top of the tree; but still, snakes are swallowing it." So what crocodile said is Correct. Same question the boy asked to the donkey, Donkey Replied " When i was young my owner loaded me with dirty clothes and squeezed me like anything; after i became old and couldn't walk he didn't want to feed me and thrown me out" so what crocodile said is correct. Still, the boy couldn't accept it. finally, he asked the same question to rabbit, The rabbit replie, "No! i won't accept the crocodile's word; it is bluffing" Then crocodile got angry and started to argue with rabbit by keeping the boy in his mouth. then rabbit said, "I coudln't hear voice clearly, please release the boy and speak then" crocodile laughed and said, "i am not stupid" If i release, the boy will ran away. Again rabbit replied, "Stupid crocodile, if the boy ran, you have your strong tail to catch the boy" then the crocodile released the boy and started to speak. Sametime, Rabbit shouted the boy to escape from crocodile. by hearing this crocodile started to raise his tail to hit the boy and then realised still he has not got relased from the net fully. Then rabbit said to crocodile its own word "This is what world and life". Then the boy called all his village people and they killed the crocodile caught by the net. Meanwhile there was a dog which came with the boy killed the Rabbit which saved his life.

Moral of the story is "in our life, we can't find the reason for all our troubles, if we start look for the reason our life won't be good" This is what said in Hinduism same thing said in Buddhism also.
