THE GODS WAY TO HELP
The wolf family without food:
 |
THE WOLF FAMILY |
A wolf couple lived in a jungle with their children. Once, they did not get any thing to eat for some days. They were going to die. The wolf-parents desperately searched for food.
They prayed God, "O God! Please give us some flesh to keep our children alive. Otherwise, we will all die."
God appears and gives two pieces of flesh :
Suddenly God appeared and gave a piece of flesh to each of them. Then God said, "It is sufficient for one meal for you all. One piece is for you two and the other for your two children."
He-wolf is not happy with God :
The she-wolf was very pleased. She thanked the God profusely. However, the greedy he-wolf was dissatisfied and thought, "What is the use of such a small gift ?" But he did not say anything. God understood the thoughts of the he-wolf. He said, "Don't even lose whatever I have given you. Greedy people, indeed, lose more than what they gain."
They cross a stream :
While crossing a stream the two wolves saw their own reflections in water. The flesh they held in their mouths was also reflected.
The she-wolf controlled herself and thought "It is better for me to take home whatever I have got already in my possession.
He-wolf is trapped :
However, the he-wolf thought otherwise and said to his wife. "God has given me a small piece. Now let me snatch that big piece from the other wolf hiding inside the water !''
He-wolf ignores the advices of his wife :

The she-wolf advised, " Don't run after illusions. Let us be satisfied with whatever God has given us."
Ignoring his wife's advices, the he-wolf started roaring and attacked the reflection fiercely.
The piece of flesh fell off from his mouth and was swept away by the stream. Therefore, he lost the existing piece also.
He returned home without anything to eat.
