Two the
animals of the forest were suffering from heat on a hot summer’s day. There was
no water anywhere!
A Lion and a
Goat were in search of water. Both of them reached a pond at the same time to
quench their thirst.
The Lion
said to the Goat, “I came to the pond first, so I will drink water, first.” The
Goat said the same thing and they both started to quarrel.
A flock of
Vultures was flying above the pond. They were waiting for the fight to end, so
that they could feast on the loser.
The Lion and
the Goat fought for some time. None of them gave up. After a while, they
stopped to take breath and noticed two Vultures on a rock. They heard them
talking to each other,
“The Lion
and the Goat will fight and die. We will then eat them.”
The Goat
said to the Lion, “Let us not fight, anymore,
Mighty Lion! It is better to become friends and drink water, than fight and
become food for the Vultures.” The Lion agreed.
In times of
need, talking to enemies can get you out of the problem.
