0 A Basket of Water

An old man lived on a farm in the mountains of eastern Kentucky with his young grandson. Each morning Grandpa was up early sitting at the kitchen table reading his Quran.

His grandson wanted to be just like him and tried to imitate him in every way he could. One day the grandson asked, "Baba, I try to read the Quran just like you but I don't understand it, and what I do understand I forget as soon as I close the book. What good does reading the Quran do?"

The Grandfather quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied, "Take this coal basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of water." The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house. The grandfather laughed and said, "You'll have to move a little faster next time," and sent him back to the river with the basket to try again.

This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before he returned home. Out of breath, he told his grandfather that it was impossible to carry water in a basket, and he went to get a bucket instead.

The old man said, "I don't want a bucket of water; I want a basket of water. You're just not trying hard enough," and he went out of the door to watch the boy try again.

At this point, the boy knew it was impossible, but he wanted to show his grandfather that even if he ran as fast as he could, the water would leak out before he got back o the house.

The boy again dipped the basket into river and ran hard, but when he reached his grandfather the basket was again empty.

Out of breath, he said, "See Baba, it's useless!"

"So you think it is useless?" The old man said, "Look at the basket."

The boy looked at the basket and for the first time realized that the basket was different. It had been transformed from a dirty old coal basket and was now clean, inside and out.

"Son, that's what happens when you read the Quran. You might not understand or remember everything, but when you read it, you will be changed, inside and out. That is the work of God in our lives."

Mesut Özil Q: We want to get to know you as a person. What did your grandparents do when they came to Germany from Turkey? A: My grandfather worked in a metals mine. But I don't like to talk about my family because I prefer to keep them in the background. Q: But your father was someone important for you in your career? A: Of course, he's always been at my side, even now. I'm very grateful to my family and friends. Q: Is it true that he was always on the sidelines giving you instructions in Turkish, which caused confusion? A: No, no. When I was a kid and didn't play well, he would point that out, even when other parents told me that I had played well. He was always sincere with me, and that helped me to learn a lot of things. Q: What is the best piece of advice he’s given you? A: To believe in myself. I’m a very religious person. I pray before games and that helps me. Q: What do your parents do? A: My father was self-employed and my mother a housewife. Q: Have they come with you to Madrid? A: No. Q: Did you feel different growing up in Germany because of your Turkish origins? A: Never.

I enjoyed it a lot. My family gave me everything I needed. Q: What did you do with your first big paycheck? A: It was in Schalke, I got my driver’s license and I bought a car, and I started helping out my family. Q: Do you consider yourself a shy person? A: No, but I am reserved. I’m a calm person, but when I’m around my friends I joke around and I could talk a lot. Q: What do you like about Madrid? A: I usually stay at home. I was surprised by how nice the people are and how many things there are to do. Q: What is your biggest defect? A: I don’t know. I enjoy my life and I’m grateful for what I have. I’m a happy person and I have everything, thanks to God. Q: Have you been able to play any of your rap songs in the locker room? A: Some players already heard them before.
