The Lion and the Gazelle

The Lion and the Gazelle

A Lion, with a long, golden, mane, sat on top of a gigantic hoard of gold, jewelry, and gems. The lion had everything all of the other animals have wanted, and kept it all to himself. The lion was greedy and wanted more.  But their was a Gazelle, who had nothing but a green field of grass to run in, and she was happy. She did not have any gold, nor any sapphires or rubies, she had only grass, and was happy. The Lion always made fun of her because she was not as rich as he, and all she has was plain, old grass, while he had mountains of treasure. But one day, a terrible storm came, and all of the lions gold flew away forever, yet the Gazelle still had her grass. The lion now had nothing, he put all of his faith into his hoard, yet the Gazelle still had her grass to eat and to run in.

MORAL:

Do not put all of your mind on one thing the others do not have, because they may be richer than you in a different point of view.
