The Lion And The Mosquitoes
One day, a Lion who had been lying under a bush, yawned, stretched once or
twice and said to himself:"Thank God I am so strong that I need fear no one on this earth! Not like these wretched mosquitoes who are afraid of everyone because anyone can crush them."
The mosquitoes heard him and were very vexed that they should be held in such contempt.
"Don't think that no one can get the better of you, Lion, just because you're so big and strong," one of them said. "It's true we are small, but we may yet prove to be more than a match for you."
"Silence, you little wretch!" roared the Lion, enraged. "You, if anyone, had better watch what you say. Why, I can crush the lot of you with one paw!"
This was more than the mosquitoes could bear, and their elder, for there was one such among them, said:
"Come, brothers, let's show the lion a thing or two! He'll remember to the end of his days how to make fun of us!"
At this the mosquitoes flew at the Lion and began to bite him all over! And though he flapped his tail and slapped at them first with one paw and then with another, though he turned over on his back and waved all his four paws together and gnashed his teeth too, nothing helped. He killed quite a few mosquitoes, but their numbers seemed not to lessen and swarms of them kept coming at him as though someone were pouring them out of a sack. The Lion tried taking great leaps into the air and he ran around the bush, but the mosquitoes went on biting him and never stopped.
At last, seeing that he could not fight them off, the Lion began pleading with them.
"Do please stop and leave me be," he said. "I wasn't making fun of you, really I wasn't. Take pity on me for the love of God!"
The mosquitoes left the Lion, rose into the air in a great cloud and said:
"Don't boast again, Lion, neither of your strength nor of your wisdom!"
The mongoose and the Brahmin’s wife
A long time ago, there lived a Brahmin by the name of Deva Sharma with his wife. They were blessed with a son. The baby used to be alone for most of the time as the Brahmin went out to conduct religious rituals and the Brahmini got busy with the household work. The Brahmin, thought of buying a pet animal for the baby who would not only protect the child but also give him company when both the parents were busy. The Brahmini was reluctant but agreed to have a pet later.
The next day, the Brahmin bought a mongoose for their child from the market. Soon, the Brahmin couple started loving the mongoose as their own child. Yet, the Brahmini sometimes feared that the mongoose could harm her son. After all, it was just an animal!
One day, the Brahmini had to go out of the house to fetch water from the nearby pond. The Brahmin had also left early for the temple. With a little apprehension, she left the child with the mongoose. Soon after she left, a cobra entered the home. The mongoose sensed the danger to the Brahmin’s son and attacked the cobra. It fiercely fought the cobra and killed it.
When the mongoose heard the footsteps of the Brahmini, it joyfully went out to greet her.The Brahmini was terrified to see the blood stains all over the mouth of the mongoose. She concluded that the mongoose had killed the child. Without a second thought, she threw a heavy box on mongoose which killed it instantly. The Brahmini stormed into the house to see the condition of her child. To her great surprise, she found her child peacefully sleeping in the cradle.
Then she saw a snake torn into pieces lying near the cradle, she realized that the mongoose had saved her child. The Brahmini was full of sorrow and repentance at her hasty action.
Dear children, that is why our elders always say that you must never act in haste. You must think twice before taking any action that cannot be undone.
