Once upon a time a
king was crossing the sultry desert. His
pet eagle was sitting on the edge of his shoulders as usual. The hot sun made
him thirsty and he went to look for a stream.
Luckily he found a fountain not very far.
He knelt down and was about to
drink the water, when suddenly the eagle came down and pecked his hand. The
king was very surprised at this odd behavior of his pet. He bent down to drink
the water again. But the eagle pecked his hand again. The king got angry with
his pet eagle; the thirst king removed his sword and killed the eagle.
When he
bent down, something glistened in the water; it was a fierce poisonous snake.
The king realized that a single sip of water would have killed him.
He now
understood what the eagle has been trying to do. He sat beside the dead eagle
and moaned. “I have lost you because of my impatience. All you were trying to
do was save my life”.
Moral: Moral of the story is if you are patient in
one moment of anger, you will escape a hundred days of sorrow.
