THE BEETLES CHALLENGE

THE BEETLES CHALLENGE - MORAL STORY

There lived a beetle in a heap of dung under a shady tree. He used to roll around the dung and ate some insects that get stuck in the dung. Once, an elephant happened to pass that way.

The elephant was hungry, So, he started to pluck out some branches from the tree. The beetle got annoyed and started to hum. The mighty elephant did not take heed of this tiny noise. But the smell of the old dung was so foul that the elephant could not bear any more. As the elephant was about to leave that place the beetle flew near and said, "Hey elephant! Aren't you afraid of my loud humming?

That is why you are leaving, aren't you? See, I've really frightened you ." Now, the elephant got really wild. He blew some air right at the beetle and the beetle flew far away out of the elephant's sight. The elephant went away as if nothing had happened.

Moral: THINK BEFORE YOU ACT !!!

I was about to catch a big fish, but the other fish chased me off." The frog thought for a while and replied, "Of course, it is just. When the fish comes to you, you can eat it. But, when you go to the fish the fish have right to chase you off." Saying this, the frog leapt away saying to itself, "Oh God! I've been lucky today to have escaped."
