The Greedy Lion
It was an incredibly
hot day, and a lion was feeling very hungry.
He came out of his den
and searched here and there. He could find only a small hare. He caught the
hare with some hesitation. “This hare can’t fill my stomach,” thought
the lion.
As the lion was about
to kill the hare, a deer ran that way. The lion became greedy. He thought that
it is better to eat the big deer rather than the small hare.
He let the hare go and
went behind the deer. But the deer had vanished into the forest. The lion now
felt sorry for letting the hare off.
Moral of the
story: Don't be greedy and
easily dazzled by new things. Be grateful for what you already have.
