Once in the village lived a man who was very lazy and didn't like to work. So he would always look for the easiest way to feed himself.
One day he found a fruit farm and looked around. Not seeing anyone guarding the farm, he decided to steal some fruits but as soon as he climbed the tree, the farm owner saw him.
The owner ran toward him to catch him. Seeing him, he got afraid and ran towards the forest and went inside the forest to hide. After some time passed, he started to walk toward the village. While passing by, he saw that there was a fox who had only two legs and was crawling.
He thought to himself, "How can this fox be still alive in such a condition? It can not run, then how it is able to feed itself as well as save itself from other animals?"
Just then he saw a lion coming in his direction. He ran and climbed up the tree. From there he saw that lion was holding a piece of meat in its mouth. Seeing the lion, all the other animals ran away except for the fox as it wasn't able to run. He was surprised to see that instead of attacking the fox, the lion left the piece of meat there and left.
Seeing this man realized God's plan to feed the fox and thought to himself, "God is the creator of all and he always has a plan to take care of beings he created. This means God must have something planned for him too."
He left from there and then just outside the village sat under a tree, waiting for someone to come and feed him too. He kept looking at the road waiting for someone to come and feed him but two days passed and he was still without food.
Finally, he couldn't bear hunger and got up from that place and started to walk back to the village. While walking back to the village he met an old sage.
He told him everything he had on his mind. He questioned, "Why is that God has shown its mercy on that fox and was so cruel to me?"
Sage gave him some food and water. Then smiled and said, "It's true that the creator has a plan for everyone. You are obviously a part of God's plan. But son, You took his sign in the wrong way. He didn't want you to be like the fox. He wanted you to be like the Lion".
Moral: God has given us the strength and capabilities to do our part. We should always learn to see things in a Positive way and see ourselves in a Position to Help others who Need them.
