All That Glitter is Not Gold
One day, a stag became very thirsty. It went to a river to drink water. As he looked down in the clear stream of water, he saw his own reflection there. He looked at his beautiful horns. ‘How beautiful my horns are!' he thought. Then his eyes fell on his legs. They were thin and slender. He became sad. “How I wish I had beautiful legs like my horns.' He said to himself.
As he was absorbed in his thoughts, he heard the barking of a dog. In no time, he saw a hunter approaching him with his dog. He became afraid and ran for life. He ran as fast as his legs could carry him. Soon he was well behind the reach of the hunter or his dog. He heaved a sigh of relief.
Just then, his horns got entangled in a thick bush. He tried hard to get himself free from the bush but it was too late.
The dog, which was running just behind him, came up and pounced upon him. He tied hard to get rid of the dog. Meanwhile, the hunter also reached there and pierced his dagger deep into his chest.
As the stag lay dying in pain, he thought to himself, ‘What a fool I had been. I was all praise of my horns and hated my legs. But while the legs carried me to safety, my horns cost me my life.'
Moral: Always be thankful to God for what He has given you.
