THE LIZARD AND THE SAINT - MORAL STORY

There was a wicked saint who lived in a village. Although saints were very pious, this saint was the opposite. He was very cunning and selfish. He was not humble and kind. He used to chase away anyone approaching his hut. People did not like him. But, they were afraid of his curses. The saint was arrogant with his powers.

One day, a lizard happened to fall from a nearby tree into his hut. The saint turned very angry. He shouted at the lizard, "Get out of my house immediately, or. I shall curse you." The lizard ran away to save his life.

Not many days later, the same lizard slipped from the tree and fell again. This time the saint could not control his anger. He took a big stone and threw it at the lizard. The lizard was very active. He ran fast and escaped from the stone. However, the saint was not lucky. The stone missed the lizard and rebounded. It struck the saint right on his forehead and the saint fell down immediately. blood pouring from the wound.

Now the saint thought, "Had I been kind-hearted 1 wouldn't have thrown the stone, I need not have been hurt."
