Long ago, there was a man. He was very lazy. He was staying with his parents. Because of his lazy nature ,his old parents were worried. They were trying to change his mind by talking to him. But lazy son was unhappy and he left the house.
He reached the forest. As he was tired, he wanted to take rest. With fear of wild animals, he climbed the tree.
From top of the tree, he spotted a fox who had lost his both legs. Fox was crawling for its small works. It can not hunt and always at one place, hiding.
At that time, a tiger came with its dead prey and started eating it. Soon , his stomach was full and he left the remaining part on the ground and left the place.
Handicapped fox slowly came out of his hide out and started eating the left over meat. By seeing that,lazy man thought one need not work, food will come by its own.
He again went to his village and sat under a tree , hoping his food is on its way!
Time passed. People were passing infront of him but no one had paid attention to him nor they asked about his problem.
Hungry and thirsty , lazy man started blaming God for the injustice he was doing. God has given food for the fox but for him, nothing.
God replied " Fox was unable to feed itself as he was handicapped. It is MY duty to feed the fox. But you are able to do work. Dont compare yourself with fox. Compare yourself with tiger who has helped the disabled fox by sharing his food. "
Lazy man understood the teaching.
