22. Story: The Tailor and the Elephant, It is no use of crying over spilt milk, (9th/1st Year/BA/B. Sc) by AG Ahmad

 

Moral Story No: 22

It is No Use of Crying Over Spilt

The Tailor and the Elephant

A tailor ran a shop in the bazaar of a town. He was a good natured jolly fellow. A man in the town had a pet elephant. The elephant went to drink water at a pool out of the town daily. It   passed by the tailor's shop. The tailor gave him a bun every day. In course of time, they became good friends and were well pleased to meet each other. The tailor always waited for the elephant to come to him and the elephant was also there at the usual time.

One day, the tailor had a dispute with one of his customers. He was feeling unhappy and worry. Meanwhile, the elephant arrived and put his trunk into his shop through the window to receive the friendly bun as usual. The tailor instead of giving a bun, pricked a needle in its trunk.  The elephant felt hurt at this but silently went on his way to drink water.

The elephant quenched his thirst and then filled his trunk with dirty and muddy water. It came back quickly and put its trunk in the shop of the tailor and squirted the dirty water in the shop. The whole shop looked as it was plastered with mud. All the fancy dresses and rich wedding robes were mud stained and badly spoiled. The tailor was over whelmed with sorrow but it was no use of crying over spilt milk.

Morals: It is well said, “Look before you leap.”
