Story No. 1: THREE FISH
Three fish lived in a pond. One was named “Plan ahead, another was “Think fast” and the third was called “Wait and see”. One day they heard a fisherman say he would be going to cast his net in their pond in the next day.
“Plan ahead” said, “I am swimming down the river tonight.”
“Think fast” said, “I am sure I will come up with a plan.”
“Wait and see” lazily said, “I just can’t think about it now.”
When the fisherman cast his nets, “Plan ahead” was able to escape from his nets. But “Think fast” and “Wait and see” were caught by the fisherman.
“Think fast” quickly rolled belly up and pretended to be dead. “Oh, this fish is no good!” said the fisherman and threw him safely back into the water. However, “Wait and see” ended up in the fish market.
That is why people say, “In times of danger, when the net is cast, plan ahead or plan to think fast!”
Story No. 2: THE LAZY MAN AND THE GOD’S PLAN
Once upon a time, there was a very lazy man who would always look for an easier way to feed himself. One day while he was searching for something to eat, he saw the fruit farm. He looked around and didn’t see anyone guarding the fruits on the tree, so he quickly decided to steal some fruits. But as soon as he walked into the farm and started to climb the tree, the farmer saw him and started coming at him to catch him. The lazy man saw the farmer coming at him with a stick, he got afraid and ran towards the forest nearby and went inside to hide.
After sometime when he felt he started to move on from the forest and while passing through he saw the wonderful scene. There was a fox. It had only two legs and still was crawling on them happily. The lazy man thought, how can this fox stay alive in such condition? The fox can’t run, how he must be able to feed himself or stay alive from the threat of other animals.
Suddenly, he saw the lion coming towards the fox with a piece of meat already in his mouth. All the animals ran away and the lazy man climbed upon the tree to save himself but, the fox stayed there only, he didn’t have the ability to run on two legs. But what happened next surprised the lazy man. The lion left a piece of meat which was in the mouth for the fox!
The lazy man felt happy seeing God’s play. He thought the God who is the creator of all, always has a plan set to take care of what he created. He felt that God must have something planned for him too. So, he left that place and sat somewhere away alone waiting for someone to feed him too. As time starting to pass, he kept on looking at the road, waiting for someone to feed him too. As time starting to pass, he kept looking at the road, waiting for his food. He waited there for two days without any food! Finally, he could not bear the hunger and start to leave.
He met an old sage (a wise person famed for wisdom) on the way. He told everything happened to the sage. The sage first gave him some food and water. After having it, the lazy man asked the sage, “Oh wise one, the God had shown his mercy on the crippled fox, but why the God was so cruel to me?”
The old sage with a smile said, “True that the creator has plan for everyone. You are obviously a part of the God’s plan. But son, you took his sign in a wrong way. He did not want to be like the fox. He wanted you to be like the lion.”
Moral :
Often we misunderstand the signs. God has given everyone strength and ability to do their part. Always learn to see things in a positive way and see yourself in a strong position to help the ones who need. Don’t go for the easy choice. Make a right choice.
