The Hungry Fox Who got Caught In The Tree Trunk
A long time ago, there
lived a fox in a forest. He was always hungry and in search of what to eat. One
day, the hunger was so severe that he couldn’t find food regardless of his
efforts. He was very frustrated and journeyed to the edge of the forest in search
of food. He couldn’t find any but he was hopeful.
Fortunately, he saw a
big tree in the forest with a hole and in it was a package. He thought to
himself, “There might be food in it.” He hurriedly jumped into the hole and
reached for the package. There was meat, fruit and slices of bread inside the
package. He was so happy. “At last my search has paid off,” he said.
The package in the tree
trunk belonged to an old woodcutter who had gone to cut down trees in the
forest. He had kept them there for lunch when he returned.
The fox ate all the food
in the package. Soon, he became very thirsty and thought of leaving the tree
trunk in search of water. The fox soon discovered that he couldn’t get out of
the tree no matter how hard he tried. He had eaten so much food that he became
too big to pass through the hole again.
“If only I had thought
about jumping into this hole,” he said. He was very depressed and unhappy as he
was trapped in the hole.
Always think it through
before you engage in it. Sometimes, because we crave so much for a particular
thing, we end up making avoidable mistakes. If the fox had thought properly
about his actions, he wouldn’t have been trapped in the tree.
