Hello eku, dee de iwoyio.
I
would like to share another short story with you again this month.
Long-time
ago in the Animal Kingdom, a sheep was
passing and saw a lion crying inside a cage trapped and the lion begged the sheep to save him
with a promise not to kill and eat it but the sheep refused. After much
persuasion and for the sheep's gullibility it opened the cage for the lion.
Now
the lion was very hungry having stayed in the cage for days without food. It
quickly grabbed the sheep to kill and eat but the sheep reminded him of his
promise. They were still there arguing when other animals came passing and they
sought to know what happened. Both the lion and the sheep narrated their own
side of the story but because of fear and in trying to gain favor in the sight
of the lion, all the animals took side with the lion except the Tortoise who
claim not to understand the whole scenario.
Now
the Tortoise asked the lion to show them where he was before the sheep rescued
him, he pointed at the cage. He asked again, "Were you inside or outside
when the sheep arrived"? The lion said he was inside. The tortoise again
said, "ok, enter let’s see how difficult it could be inside". The
lion entered and the tortoise locked him back inside.
In
amazement, the other animals asked the tortoise "why" and he replied
"if we allow him to eat the sheep today, he will still go hungry tomorrow
and we don't know the next amongst us to be eaten tomorrow.
The
Moral of this story; don’t support evil today because it doesn't affect you
directly, it could be your turn tomorrow.
We
celebrate you if you were born in August. Birthdays are a new start, a fresh
beginning, and a time to pursue new endeavors with new goals. May today and all
of your days be amazing!
Have
a wonderful month everybody! Stay safe and stay healthy.
