The Dog and The Rabbit
One day a dog and a rabbit were sitting under a tree. The dog and the rabbit were talking about a new tiger that had started living in the forest. The dog told the rabbit. “The tiger is very ferocious. He preys on the small animals and eats them!” Listening to the dog scared the rabbit.
The rabbit said, “Dear friend, I know just one trick to save my life. I should learn more tricks.” The dog replied, “I know a lot of tricks; I can jump around bushes, run very fast, hide under trees, dig up the sand and bury myself in it, and many more! I will definitely save myself from the tiger since I know many tricks.” The terrified rabbit begged the dog to teach him a few tricks too. The dog laughed and said, “My tricks are only for intelligent animals, and you are not an intelligent animal. Why should I teach you the tricks?” This upset the rabbit.
Suddenly the tiger appeared and started walking towards them. The tiger was slowly approaching them. The rabbit told the dog, “See, the tiger is coming; I will use my trick and hide in the tree. You use your tricks and save yourself, and then we’ll meet after the tiger is gone.”
The rabbit quickly climbed the tree. The dog started running here and there when the tiger came near the dog. The dog tried to hide, but the tiger found him and pounced at him.
If the dog had shared his tricks with the rabbit, the rabbit too would have done the same and then maybe the dog could have saved himself. They could have stayed together for their whole lives if they had shared their thoughts.
Moral: The story talks about how we should share our knowledge and gain knowledge from others. Being selfish or sly will not help us. We should share things with others, whether our knowledge or a materialistic item. Doing so will allow others to share their belongings with us, and we can help each other grow.
Hence, the story’s moral is that when you give, you receive more of it.
