A fox in the deep forest of long ago had lost its front legs.No one knew what caused so.A man, who lived on the edge of the forest, seeing the fox from time to time, wondered how in the world it managed to get its food.One day when the fox was not far from him he had to hide himself quickly because a tiger was approaching.The tiger had fresh game in its claws.Lying down on the ground, it ate its fill, leaving the rest for the fox.
Again the next day the tiger did the same and the fox appeared again.Seeing this, the man began to think, "If this fox is taken care of in this mysterious way, its food sent by some unseen higher power, why don't I just rest in a corner and have my daily meal provided for me?"
Because he had a lot of faith, he let the days pass, waiting for food.Nothing happened.He just went on losing weight and strength until he was nearly a skeleton.Close to losing consciousness, he heard a voice which said, "Oh you, who have mistaken the way, see now the truth! You should have followed the example of that tiger instead of imitating the disabled fox."
So from the above story, we may have some questions to think about:
In what ways do you feel like the disabled fox or the tiger?
Is it OK for the disabled fox to continue living, or would it be better off either dead or never alive in the first place?
Are there any people in your life who are like the disabled fox, but you wish they were more like the tiger?
