How to understand betrayers?
That time, Silbaripuram forest was full of many kinds of wild animals living there. The fox's job in the jungle was to show the lion where the prey was.
After being tired of eating deer meat and rabbit meat, the lion said: "It's been a long time since I ate donkey meat. You go and try to bring a donkey here cleverly."
When a donkey was eating grass, nearby the fox sat as if it was in meditation. The donkey got scared and stood a little far away and asked what was the matter.
The fox said - "The lion in the cave is feeling sad about his actions, and his decision for the future is to make a donkey the king. I am the minister. But, my confusion is which donkey to choose for this."
Immediately, the foolish donkey said - "In the history of this forest, our kind has never had such good fortune. Let's go and see the lion."
As soon as they reached the front of the cave, the lion swung and hit the donkey. One of the donkey's ears flew off! But, the donkey ran away! Just then, the fox slowly followed behind.
The donkey shouted - "Hey, you wicked fellow, you were cheating me, weren't you?"
The fox said politely - "Because the donkey's ears were big, one ear was removed so that the crown would fit properly. You come quickly. This is the right time for the coronation."
The foolish donkey believed that and went there with the fox. The lion angrily jumped on the donkey! But, this time also, there was a slight mistake! The donkey's tail was cut off! The donkey shouted and ran!
Then, approaching the donkey who was still crying, the fox said - "Why did you run again? The lion king cut off your tail so that you could sit properly on the throne in the cave. Come. He has informed me that there are no more obstacles for you."
This time the donkey felt very relieved. The third time, the lion was very careful. With a precise jump, the lion's teeth sank into the donkey's neck.
After jumping strongly three times, his whole body was covered in mud, so the lion went and dipped himself in a nearby pond and came back for his food.
"Where is the donkey's brain? The heart is also not there. Did you eat it? If so, don't ever come in front of me again!"
The fox said - "Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand. After the lion tried to kill it twice, would a donkey that still came back to the lion's den have a brain and a heart?"
The lion believed that. While the lion went to bathe, the greedy fox had secretly stolen and eaten many tasty pieces of meat.
Moral: Like this donkey, there are many human beings who don't learn from their mistakes. And there are also those who constantly deceive like the fox!
