The Lion and The cougar
A pointed fable is told about a young lion and
a cougar. Both thirsty, the animals arrived at their usual water hole
at the same time. They immediately began to argue about who should
satisfy their thirst first. The argument became heated, and each
decided he would rather die than give up the privilege of being first
to quench his thirst.
As they stubbornly confronted each other,
their emotions turned to rage. Their cruel attacks on each other were
suddenly interrupted. They both looked up. Circling overhead was a
flock of vultures waiting for the loser to fall. Quietly, the two
beasts turned and walked away. The thought of being devoured was all
they needed to end their quarrel.
Just something to think about....
