One day, a beautiful Heron was walking
by the side of the river. He had a long slender neck, which held his long sharp
beak as a weapon to pierce through the fish. The river was full of a variety of
fish like the Carp, the Pike, the Tench and many more. It was so easy to
catch fish there that the Heron could have made great profits if he were
in the fishing trade!
The Heron, however, did not find those
fish suitable for eating. ‘What are Carp or Pike or Tench for a Heron! I can’t
eat such mean little fish,” said the Heron. He, then, saw a Snail approaching
and got furious at its sight. “I will never open my beak if the Gods offer
me such miserable food,” he said, proudly.
After some time, the fish in the river
died, from some mysterious disease. The Heron did not get a single fish to eat
now He got very hungry and wished he could get anything to eat. So much so,
that the once fussy Heron was happy to see a snail and quietly ate it!
If you are proud and choosy in life,
you may lose even the simple things.
