πStory of the year..
Once upon a time, the Lion π¦ grew hungry and threatened the Fox π¦: βBring me something to eat, or I will eat you.β
Frightened, the Fox went to a Donkey π« and lied: βThe Lion wants to make you king. Come with me!β
Trusting the Fox, the Donkey followed.
But the moment the Lion saw the Donkey, he attacked and tore off its ears.
The Donkey somehow escaped and cried to the Fox:
βYou tricked me! The Lion tried to kill me!β
But the Fox calmly said,
βDonβt be silly. He removed your ears so the Crown fits better. Come back with me.β
The Donkey, innocent and confused, believed the Fox and returned.
This time, the Lion attacked again and cut off its tail. The Donkey escaped once more.
Breathless, it said:
βYou lied again! He cut off my tail!β
The Fox replied smoothly,
βHe removed it so you can sit more comfortably on the Throne. Trust me, come back.β
And again, the Donkey believed him.
The third time, the Lion finally killed the Donkey.
Pleased, he told the Fox:
βWell done. Now go skin it and bring me its brain, lungs, liver, and heart.β
The Fox skinned the donkey, ate the brain himself, and brought only the other organs.
Seeing the missing brain, the Lion roared:
βWhere is its brain?β π§
The Fox bowed and said,
βMy King, it had no brain. If it had any, it would not have returned to you after you cut off its ears and tail.β
The Lion thought for a moment and said,
βYou are right." π€
π Lesson
Be careful whom you trust.
Not everyone who speaks sweetly has good intentions.
If someone hurts you once and you go back to them, itβs a mistake.
If you keep going back, youβre giving them the power to destroy you. Learn from the first warningβyour safety and dignity matter more than blind trust. - Thoughts of India
