Esope's moral story

                                   Esope's moral story
Long ago, there lived a saint. In his hut ,there lived a mouse also. Once a cat started chasing the mouse. With great difficulty, mouse escaped from the clutches of cat. Saint was seeing all this. He pitied about mouse. He asked the mouse what he can do so that it can live happily. Mouse replied if it would be a cat then all of his problems are solved.
Saint made the mouse as a cat. Now , it was happy. No need to be scared of other cats. But its joy lasted soon. A dog chased the cat. Cat panickly entered the hut of the saint. By seeing it, saint asked what made him to enter the hut?
Then cat replied a dog chased it. With great difficulty, it escaped. If it is a dog then it can live happily without anyone's fear. Saint also thought the same. He made the cat as a dog. Now this dog seen wandering all over barking and terrifying other creatures.
Once it was wandering barking, that time from tnearby forest a tiger came and chased the dog so that it can kill and eat it. As usual , dog escaped and again came to the hut of saint. Saint again asked what happened? Then dog replied a tiger wants to kill it. If it were a tiger, then it could have fighted with the other tiger. Saint thought it is right and made it as a tiger.
The dog now became a tiger. As it was hungry, it saw the saint and thought of killing him. But saint came to know of it. He thought I made a mistake by making a mouse as tiger.Now it wants to kill me. So he made the tiger again to a mouse. Thus,by its ungreatfulness, tiger became as a mouse again.

  1. Nice, we must leave the nature to take its own course. Also saints have should not interfere in Brahma's job!??
    Kin Bharatha in Shrimad Bhavatha also took pity on a small deer and had to be reborn as a deer, thus delaying his "moksha" - extreme attachment stands in the way of spiritual life and progress of a soul towards the final destination, at Lords Lotus-feet/rgd/slr
