A
man was walking through a forest when he saw a crippled fox. “I wonder how it
manages to feed itself?” He thought.
At
that moment, a tiger approached, carrying its prey in its mouth. The tiger ate
its fill and left what remained for the fox.
“If
God helps the fox, he will help me too,”
The man thought. He went back home, shut himself up in his house and
waited for the Heavens to bring him food.
Nothing
happened.
He
lay there in bed waiting for God to provide for him as he had for the fox, but
instead just starved.
Just
when he was becoming almost too weak to go out and work, an angel
appeared.
“Why
did you decide to imitate the crippled fox?” asked the angel. “God has given
you gifts and abilities to contribute to the world and make a living, while
looking after the crippled foxes of the world.
Get out of bed, pick up your tools and follow the way of the
tiger!”
I
only have one question today. Which one
are you, the fox or the tiger?
