One day, a hungry Fox was chasing a small
dog. The dog ran very fast and jumped over a thorny hedge. The fox also tried
to jump over the high hedge, but, he lost his balance. He held on to a Bramble
bush to save himself. The Bramble had long prickly thorns.
The Fox got scratched badly by the thorny
Bramble. He let go of the bush in pain and fell down, at once. His paws were
hurt and full of blood. He had deep cuts on his feet. He walked with great
difficulty.
The Fox was very angry with the Bramble
bush. He blamed the thorny Bramble and said, “I held on to you to save myself
from falling, but look what you have done!”
“You hurt me so badly. It pains all
over!” wailed the Fox.
The thorny Bramble smiled and replied,
“Fox, do not blame me for your problems. You must be foolish to hold on to me
for support.”
“I am a bush that has thorns. My thorns
poke and tear others. With so many thorns, how could you even think of holding
on to me without getting hurt?”
Do not blame someone else for your foolish actions.
