Once a wild horse while grazing on a grassland was enjoying its food and its freedom. After some time it saw a stag coming and nibbling on the same grassland. There was sufficient grass for both of them but the horse didn’t want to share the grass and thought of a plan to get rid of the stag.
It saw a man passing by, told him its plan and asked his help to kill the stag. The man agreed, but said that to fulfill the plan, he would have to mount the horse in order to chase the stag. The horse agreed and very soon the man killed the stag.
The horse now waited for the man to get off but the man refused.
The horse got mad with rage and began to kick and fling, but all it got was a good whipping.
At last, it had no other alternative but to submit itself to the man and work for him on his farm.===========
A POOR LITTLE GIRL
Once, a rich lady, having no child of her own, decided, to adopt a girl child. For this, she gave advertisements in various newspapers. Many poor women came to sell their daughters to her.
The rich lady gave some money to all girls and asked them to go to the market and buy their favourite things. .
On returning, all the girls showed the rich lady, the things they had bought. Most of them had bought ribbons, clothes and other things for themselves but one poor girl had bought a prayer book and a needle.
The lady got impressed with the poor girl and adapted her saying that the girl really knew the essence of worship and hard work.===========
A THIEF CAN’T QUESTION A ROBBER
Once a wolf was roaming about in a field of grass where a flock of sheep came grazing everyday. He was hiding behind a bush. Getting a chance, he carried away a lamb to eat it at a safe place. Unfortunately, a lion came there, snatched the lamb and went to his den to eat it at leisure.
When the lion had walked just a few steps away, the wolf said, “It is down daylight robbery- so unjust for a lion to snatch my morsel from me. It is below his dignity.”
Hearing the wolf’s grumble, the lion laughed and replied, “A thief is questioning a robber- how strange! Did you get this lamb as a gift from a friend You stole it out of a flock. Was that fair”
A sin is a sin- whether big or small.
