Once, an Ass had an accident and
lost his tail. He was very saddened by this loss. He cried the whole day and
missed his tail. He thought, ‘I miss having my tail. I think I should go out
and search for it!’
The Ass went all around the meadow
searching for his tail. He was weeping, when he entered a garden. He crushed
the plants under his feet as he was lost in his own thoughts. The Gardener saw
the Ass and became alert. He thought, ‘This Ass has come to my garden to spoil
my plants and eat my vegetables. I will have to save my garden from him!’
The Gardener went inside his cottage
and brought a pair of scissors. When he saw the Ass walking over his vegetables
and plants, he got angry. He shouted at the Ass, but the Ass did not listen to
him.
The Gardener ran towards the Ass
and cut off both his ears. The Ass was shocked and cried in pain. Now, besides
his tail, he also cried out for the loss of his ears!
We should not lose our senses in difficult times, for we may then face
more losses.
