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.
