nce,
Aesop was standing outside a poultry farm near the road-side. He was looking at
the Poultry, very keenly. When people saw him standing there for a long time,
they became curious. They started asking each other, “Why is Aesop watching the
Poultry so keenly?”
One
of them said, “Let us go and ask him what the matter is.” They were like those
people who are only interested in what others do.
They
approached Aesop, but Aesop did not look at them. He still looked at the
Poultry in the farm. One of the men got interested and asked, “Aesop, what is
it in this farm that has grabbed your attention?” Aesop then looked at him and
replied, “I am amazed to see this Goose.” One of the men in the crowd asked,
“How can such an animal amaze you?”
Aesop
smiled and said, “I am amazed at how humans readily copy this foolish Goose.”
“In
what ways do we humans copy this animal, Aesop?” asked another man from the
crowd.
“Well,
just like these animals, we humans also brag so much about ourselves and may
often harm ourselves badly!”
