Once a dog was
relaxing in a garden
when it saw a cat on
the top of a high
wall. It thought, "It
must be so nice to be
high above the
ground. If only I
could climb?" this
feeling of envy made
it so bad-tempered,
that it didn't even
wag its tail at its
master, who came to
give it some milk.
Then it saw a
goldfish in the river
and wished that it
too could live in the
cold water. Envy
made it angry once
again.
Just then it heard the
fish say, "It looks so
nice and warm on
the grass. I wish I
could lie down on it."
After some time, a
sparrow flew past.
Seeing the dog lazing
around, it said aloud,
"I wish I could play
the whole day like
this dog. I wish I
didn't have to build a
nest for myself,
search for food and
tire my wings."
Listening to them,
the dog realized its
folly for not
appreciating what it
had.Moral:We should be happy in what we have......
