"Grandpa! Can you tell me another story today?"
The grandchild growing in foreign land again asked his grandfather at native place on FT..
"Ok.. Dear! I'm going to tell you one more rabbit and turtle story today!"
"One more? What happened?"
"I am telling you what happened after the rabbit lost in the race!"
"Ok.. Tell me.. What happened?"
"After losing the race because it was careless, the rabbit thought,
'It happened because I slept over last time. Now I know, I won't do that foolish act anymore. This time, I go with turtle just teasing it all along by moving like it and anyhow the last moment, I jump and win over the race in front of this turtle!'
Planning thus, the rabbit coaxed the turtle again for the race and the turtle agreed with a smile..
Soon, the race began and the rabbit started pretending moving like turtle making fun of it all along..
The turtle, no doubt had to wet itself twice on the way and the rabbit coolly rested in that time..
'Yes.. The race is getting over now.. The turtle struggled one full hr to come here. Now see the fun!'
Thinking thus, the proud rabbit a few yards away from the destination started jumping recklessly very high, suddenly strained one of it's legs beyond and couldn't move a bit lying down in pain one yard away from the destination..
The turtle by the side, gently lifted the rabbit, carried it on its back to the destination unmindful of the race and further took care of the rabbit towards recovery and normal movement..
"Take it sportive. It's win-win here!"
The rabbit heard the sweet voice of turtle next to it as it cared for it's friend wholeheartedly..
How is the story, dear?"
"Nice story Grandpa! The rabbit was too proud but ultimately it understood that the turtle is so good. I liked the story!"
"Yes, dear! Every story has a Moral. Here the Moral is..
PRIDE GOES BEFORE FALL, HUMILITY IS A VIRTUE!"
