 “The Farmer and his Dog”

Once upon a time, there was a farmer who lived in village. He had small son whom he loved greatly. He had some sheep and a dog to look after them. The dog also loved to be with the farmer’s son. As, some-one has wisely said,

“When a man’s best friend is a dog,

then the dog has a problem.”

One day, he went out for hunting and left his son sleeping in his room. There was nobody else in the house. When he reached the forest, he found that his dog was not with him. He returned home and was shocked to see his dog with bloodstains. He thought that the dog had killed his son. This made him furious that he at once whipped out his sword and killed the dog. As, it is said,

“Take time for all things,

Great haste makes great waste.”

When he entered the house, he saw blood pools here and there. Just then, his son came out of his room. The boy told his father, how a wolf had come into the house and was about to kill him when the dog pounced upon it and tore it into pieces. As, some-one has wisely said,

“Look twice before you leap.”

The hunter became stunned realizing that actually, the wolf came to kill his son and the dog fought with him to fulfill its duty and the blood that he saw on the body of the dog and in the house was not the child but that of the wolf. He began to cry at his haste in killing the faithful dog.

As, is wisely said,

“It is no use crying over spilt milk.”

Haste Makes Waste

 “The Fox and A Goat”

“Haste makes waste” is well known proverb. Our decisions, taken in haste and without looking for consequences, often result in severe loss. Thus, the best suitable behavior is to be very wise and vigilant while taking any decision even in our daily routine matters. Here is a story to understand the above statement. As, it is wisely said,

“Take time for all things,

Great haste makes great waste.”

Once upon a time, there was a farmer who lived in village. He was very hardworking and good natured but he had one weakness i.e. his impulsive nature. He had small son whom he loved greatly. He had some sheep and a dog to look after them. The dog also loved to be with the farmer’s son. As, some-one has wisely said,

“When a man’s best friend is a dog,

then the dog has a problem.”

One day, he went out for hunting and left his son sleeping in his room. There was nobody else in the house. When he reached the forest, he found that his dog was not with him. He was annoyed to find that. He returned home and was shocked to see his dog. Its mouth and paws were bloodstained. As, some-one has wisely said,

“Stains are even worse,

when you are the only one who can see them.”

He became cold when he thought of his son. He called out his name but there was response. He thought that the dog had killed his son. This made him so furious that at once, he whipped out his sword and killed the dog. As, it is rightly said,

“Look twice before you leap.”

When he entered the house, he saw blood pools here and there. Just then, his son came out of his room. The boy told his father, how a wolf had come into the house and was about to kill him when the dog pounced upon it and tore it into pieces. As, some-one has wisely said,

“Better to be wise by the misfortunes

of other than by your own.”

The hunter became stunned realizing that actually, the wolf came to kill his son and the dog fought with him to fulfill its duty and the blood that he saw on the body of the dog and in the house was not the child but that of the wolf. He began to cry at his haste in killing the faithful dog.

As, it is wisely said,

“It is no use crying over spilt milk.”
