- The Foolish Tiger
Once a tiger was caught in a hunter's cage . He struggled and tried his best to release himself from the cage but in vain. At the meantime , a Brahmin was passing by the cage. The Tiger begged for his life. The Brahmin was very kind and took pity on him. He managed to set the Tiger free. When the tiger came out of the case, it forgot the brahmin's virtue. Instead, he wanted to make the Brahmin his meal. The Brahmin begged for his life but the merciless tiger didn't accept his request. Luckily, a jackal arrived there and inquired what the matter was. The Brahmin explained what happened. The clever jackal understood the situation. He wanted to help the poor Brahmin. Then the jackal asked the tiger to show how the incident happened. The tiger went into the cage again to show the jackal how he was rescued from the cage but he was trapped there again. Thus, the jackal saved the brahmins life .
Moral: mental strength is more powerful than physical strength.
3. Monkey at a barber's
Once upon a time, a bahar barbershop was located close to a forest. The people went there in order to maintain their mustache and beard. The jungle contained a large number of monkeys. A monkey once showed interest in the barber's activities. He used to keep an eye on the barbershop. He observed people while sparing their mustaches and beards. The barber had gone to a river one day to get some water. Nobody was present at the store. The monkey entered the store, grabbed a razor, and attempted to save his mustache. However, the naive monkey had no idea how to use the razor. He slashed his mouth and cried out in agony.
The lesson is that: stupid imitations cause a lot of problems.
