The Fox and the Grapes

ONE hot summer’s day a Fox was strolling through an orchard till he came to a bunch of Grapes just ripening on a vine which had been trained over a lofty branch. “Just the things to quench my thirst,” quoth he. Drawing back a few paces, he took a run and a jump, and just missed the bunch. Turning round again with a One, Two, Three, he jumped up, but with no greater success. Again and again he tried after the tempting morsel, but at last had to give it up, and walked away with his nose in the air, saying: “I am sure they are sour.” Lesson: “IT IS EASY TO DESPISE WHAT YOU CANNOT GET.” Reflection: I already experienced that like kinda mixed feelings of being depressed and jealous. For instance I really longed to buy a thing but I couldn't afford it so what I usually do is to tell myself that it's bad and ugly. That's really the price of not getting anything, NOTHING!

THE GREEDY DOG

A Dog, to whom the butcher had thrown a bone, was hurrying home with his prize as fast as he could go. As he crossed a narrow footbridge, he happened to look down and saw himself reflected in the quiet water as if in a mirror. But the greedy Dog thought he saw a real Dog carrying a bone much bigger than his own.

If he had stopped to think he would have known better. But instead of thinking, he dropped his bone and sprang at the Dog in the river, only to find himself swimming for dear life to reach the shore. At last he managed to scramble out, and as he stood sadly thinking about the good bone he had lost, he realized what a stupid Dog he had been.

Lesson: It is very foolish to be greedy. Reflection: Honestly I'm sometimes greedy, part of not being perfect. So you can call me a foolish one, if you can dare. I'm greedy especially when it comes to foods. I know it's not obvious right? Me too I cannot believe that I didn't even gain weight knowing that I am greedy. Allow me to site an experience. When the time I didn't bother to give time for the mass and it was a very miserable day.
