The Hungry Wolf and the Foolish Goat
Once, a hungry Wolf told a clever Crow, "Get me something to eat, or Iāll eat you instead!"
The Crow flew to a Goat grazing nearby and said, "Friend Goat, the Wolf has found a hidden garden full of fresh grass and sweet herbs. He wants to make you the guardian of that garden. Come with me."
The Goat, excited, followed the Crow. When the Wolf saw the Goat, he jumped to attack but only managed to bite off one of its horns. The Goat escaped and cried, "You tricked me! The Wolf tried to kill me!"
The Crow said, "No, no! He broke your horn so you could wear the badge of a royal guardian. Donāt you want that honor? Come back with me."
The Goat believed the Crow and followed again. This time, the Wolf attacked and scratched the Goatās back badly, but the Goat managed to run away once more. "You lied again! The Wolf clawed me!" shouted the Goat.
The Crow calmly replied, "He was preparing a royal mark on your back so everyone would know you are the guardian of the garden! Just one more step and your honor will be complete."
Despite his doubts, the Goat followed the Crow one last time. This time, the Wolf caught the Goat and killed it.
Then the Wolf said to the Crow, "You did well bringing me this meal. Now pluck its feathers and bring me its heart and brains."
The Crow cleaned the Goat but secretly ate its brains. When the Wolf checked, he roared, "Where is the brain?"
The Crow replied, "It had no brain, my king. If it had, it wouldnāt have followed me back to you three times after being hurt twice!"
The Wolf thought deeply and said, "You're right. A creature that foolish surely had no brain."
This same thing happens to most people, who don't learn from their mistake. Note mistake not mistakes, you don't have go through pain over and over from anyone or anything before you realize these people people don't love nor care for, those who Love you will not hurt you.
