The hare and the tortoise

 

 

Once upon a time, in a dense forest, there resided a haughty hare, who was immensely proud of his remarkable speed. He always boasted about it and mocked the tortoise, his neighbor, for being sluggish. The hare often belittled the tortoise by saying, “You have legs just like mine, but I am certain that you cannot run as fast as I do, or perhaps you cannot run at all.” Listening to this constant taunt, the tortoise got irked and responded by saying, “You can surely run fast, no doubt about that, but I think you can talk even faster than you can run.” Feeling challenged, the hare readily agreed to run a race with the tortoise. However, the hare was confident that the tortoise would not stand a chance against his swift speed. In a tone of ridicule, the hare said, “Friend tortoise, you are merely wasting your time and mine as well. You know my speed, and it would be as easy as picking some soft grass from the field to beat you in the race.” Undeterred, the tortoise responded by saying, “Indeed, I am aware of your speed, but there is one thing that I know, which you do not. And that’s precisely what I am going to take advantage of.”

 

After this, they both approached a wise fox and asked him to officiate their race. The fox agreed and laid down some rules for the race, and set the destination as well. Finally, the race commenced, and the hare began at a breakneck pace, leaving the tortoise far behind. The hare was supremely confident of his victory and stopped midway to rest, thinking to himself, “What a fool I am! I have run so fast for nothing. Why did I exert myself in the hot sun while that slow-moving tortoise is nowhere in sight? I should start running again when he is about to catch me, and until then, I can rest for a while.” As the hare was exhausted, he dozed off. On the other hand, the tortoise ran continuously, as fast as he could, without any pause. On his way, he stumbled upon the sleeping hare and silently moved ahead. When the hare woke up, he realized that the tortoise had already crossed the finish line, and he had lost the race. Feeling ashamed and embarrassed, the hare conceded defeat. The tortoise won the race, and he felt extremely content and proud of his accomplishment. From that day on, the hare learned that deeds matter more than words and that being overconfident could lead to one's downfall.

     

Moral :



A Farmer and His Sacks

                    A farmer was taking some sacks of wheat to a mill. The mill was a few kilometers away. He was taking the sacks there by placing them on the back of his horse. On the way the horse stumbled and one of the sacks fell to the ground. It was too heavy for the farmer to lift and there was nobody around to help him. He thought it would be a great loss to leave the sack of wheat, which fell to the ground. He was wandering what to do.

 

                  Meanwhile he saw a horseman coming towards him. His heart jumped. As the rider was coming nearer, the farmer recognized him. He was a nobleman who lived in a great house at the top of the hill. The farmer thought that it was not proper for him to seek help from the person of a high rank. He might take it for an insult if he approached him for help in lifting the sack. So he dared not approached the rider. The poor man was at a complete loss.

 

               The nobleman was very generous. He was more than a person of title.  He was a gentleman as well. He stopped in front of the farmer and got down from the horse and said, “I see you’ve had a mishap, friend.” “Fortunately, I have come along just now, for it is difficult to find help in a place like this.”

 

               He came forward to help the farmer willingly. Then he held one end of the sack and asked the farmer to hold the other end. Together they lifted the sack and placed it once again on the horse’s back.

 

           The farmer took off his cap and said, “My lord, how can I thank you?” “You can do that easily, friend,” replied the nobleman, “Whenever you see somebody in difficulty do your best to help him and that will be thanking me.”

The Farmer and the Noble Man / Humanitarian Duty Regardless of Rank : One day, a farmer was taking some sacks   

 

Once upon a time, a farmer was travelling towards a mill with sacks of wheat, when his horse stumbled and one of the sacks fell to the ground. The sack was far too heavy for the farmer to lift, and he was left in a quandary as there was no one around to lend him a hand. Suddenly, a horseman appeared on the horizon, riding towards him. The farmer's heart leaped with joy when he realised that it was a nobleman, who lived in a magnificent house atop the hill. However, the farmer felt it was inappropriate to approach someone of such a high rank for help, and he hesitated to call out for aid.

 

The farmer was stuck in a difficult situation until the nobleman, who was a gentleman with a compassionate heart, stopped his horse in front of the farmer and alighted from it. He approached the poor man, and inquired in a gentle voice, "What seems to be troubling you? You appear to be quite upset." The farmer, being too proud to ask for help from a person of such high standing, tried to shrug off the nobleman's offer, replying, "It's nothing, sir. Please, continue on your way. I do not want to trouble you." However, the nobleman would not be dissuaded, and repeated his offer to assist the farmer.

 

The nobleman then spotted the fallen sack and exclaimed, "Oh! Now I understand what has happened. Let me help you to set it right. Give me a hand." The farmer, compelled by the nobleman's kindness, accepted his offer and together they hefted the sack back onto the horse's back. The farmer felt grateful and wanted to express his appreciation to the nobleman. However, the nobleman merely saw it as a humanitarian duty and advised the farmer to do the same for others in their time of need.

 

This encounter between the farmer and the nobleman reminds us that kindness and compassion should not be limited by one's rank or social status. The nobleman's altruism and willingness to help a stranger in need, regardless of his station in life, serves as a powerful example for all of us to follow.


Humanitarian Duty Regardless of Rank


One day a farmer was taking some sacks of wheat to a mill. The mill was a few kilometres away. On the way the horse stumbled and one of the sacks fell to the ground. It was too heavy for the farmer to lift and there was nobody around to help him. He was at a loss. Meanwhile, he saw a horseman coming towards him.

The farmer thought that it was not proper for him to seek help from the person of such a high rank. So, he dared not approach the rider. The poor man was at a complete loss. The nobleman was a gentleman and very generous. He stopped in front of the farmer and got down from the horse. He came forward to help the farmer willingly. He asked the poor farmer in a soft voice, "What has happened, dear? You look very upset." The farmer said, "It's nothing, sir. Please you go your own way. I don't want to trouble you." The noble man said, "You must tell me what has happened. Do you need any help?" Then he looked around and saw the sack lying on the ground. The noble man then said, "Oh! Now I understand. I'll help you to get the sack in its place. Give me a hand."

The farmer had to give in to the insistence of the nobleman. He held one end of the sack and asked the farmer to hold the other end. Together they lifted the sack and placed it once again on the horse's back. The farmer took off his cap and wanted to offer thanks to the nobleman. But the nobleman took it as a humanitarian duty and suggested him to do the same in other's distress.
