🐬🐟🐠The Foolish Fish:

In a huge pond, there lived much fish. They were arrogant and never listened to anyone. In this pond, there also lived a kind-hearted crocodile.

He advised the fish, “It does not pay to be arrogant and overconfident. It could be your downfall." But the fish never listened to him. “There is that crocodile, advising us again," they would say.

One afternoon, the crocodile was resting beside a stone near the pond, when two fishermen stopped there to drink water.

The fishermen noticed that the pond had a lot of fish. “Look! This pond is full of fish. Let’s come here tomorrow with our fishing net," said one of them. “I am surprised we have not seen this place before!" exclaimed the other.

The crocodile heard all this. When the fishermen left, he slowly slipped into the pond and went straight to the fish. “You all had better leave this pond before dawn. Early morning those two fishermen are going to come to this pond with their net," warned the crocodile.

But the fish just laughed and said, “There have been many fishermen who have tried to catch us. These two are not going to catch us either. Do not you worry about us, Mr Crocodile," they said in a mocking voice.

The next morning, the fishermen came and threw their net in the pond. The nets were big and strong. Very soon all the fish were caught. “If only we had listened to Mr Crocodile. He had only wanted to help. For our arrogance we have to pay with our lives," said the fish.

The fishermen took the foolish fish to the market and sold them for a good profit.

🐐🐐Once a wild goat started passing through that bridge. Suddenly a goat was coming from the other side, she also started trying to cross the bridge. Now both the goats stood face to face in the middle of the bridge. Now they started fighting with each other, on the matter of which can pass the river first first. One goat angrily said to the other goat, “Let me go first.” Now the other one said no – I will not move back. I have come so far ahead, how can I move back? Why wouldn’t you return back? Let me go first.

Both goats were fools. Neither of them was willing to go backward. Both of them stubbornly started fighting among themselves. After quarreling for some time they fell into the river and died by drowning.

Moral– Fools always insist on stubbornness and harm themselves.

🦁🦊The FOX or The LION:

Tired of the boredom of his normal life, Rama decided to go on spiritual discovery. He decided to spend a few days in a Jungle close to the village. So, every day he meditated in the woods. Whenever he got hungry, he would come to the village. One day, while returning to the Jungle he noticed a severely injured fox. Its front legs were detached completely. Nature is not gentle to any kind of incapability. If you lose your legs, you lose your life. Yet, the fox looked well-fed and healthy. Rama was surprised. But he ignored it and focused on his meditation. As the sun set, Rama heard the roar of a lion. He forgot about his meditation and climbed up a tree. To his astonishment, a full-grown male lion came with a piece of meat, dropped it in front of the fox and went away. Rama couldn't believe this…if a furious lion is feeding a crippled fox. Next thing, the lion came again with a piece of meat, dropped it in front of the fox and went away. Rama took this as a message that God was sending him. He had his interpretation….Even a crippled fox in this forest is being fed by a lion and you fool, just sit here and food will come to you.

One day. two days, three days, meditation became more like a struggle for Rama. By the seventh day, he was struggling between life and death. Just then a yogi was passing by. He heard Rama's desperate cries and started following the sound.

'What happened to you? why are you in this condition?' asked the Yogi.

"Oh yogi, please help me. A divine message came to me. I went by the message and I became like this."

"What happened?" the Yogi asked.

'Look a crippled fox is being fed by a furious lion every day. Isn't this a divine message?'

The yogi looked at him and said. "Definitely….this is a divine message, but why is it that you chose to be like the crippled fox and not like the generous lion?"

Thinking good thoughts is not enough. Doing good is not enough. Seeing others follow your good example is good.
