(someone told me this recently....i found it quite interesting, so i am posting it....hope it is worth reading!!!)
One day a dog lost its way and went deep into the dense forest. As he was walking, suddenly he saw a lion far ahead. He thought of running hard but he didn't know the way out of jungle, so he looked here and there for some hiding place. Just then he saw some bones.
An idea came into his mind and he sat down making his back towards the lion. As the lion saw the dog, he quietly reached near it. But the dog was keeping his ears in alert. So when he felt that the lion is near, he grabbed the dried bone, put it on his mouth and said
"wow! the lion tastes soooo good. hmmmm.....but it has been quite a day since i had eaten lion meat. Oh god! i am dying for lion meat....."
The lion was behind the dog and upon hearing this, he fled away to save his life.
The monkey who was watching all this from the tree branch thought to say all this thing to lion so as to be his friend and remain in peace forever. So he hurriedly jumped from branches to branches and went to the lion's den. The dog noticed the monkey and he understood that something bad was about to happen. So he started running as fast as he could.
The monkey told all the story to the lion. Upon hearing how the dog made him stupid, the lion became angry and said the monkey
"come, sit at my back.....i will end the life of that scoundrel."
the monkey climbed the back of the lion and here goes the lion in his full speed. The dog felt that the lion is running nearby, so he sat facing his back to the direction the lion was coming, and when he felt the lion is near, he said
"grrrr!!! this stupid monkey! it has been about an hour i sent the monkey, and he has not found a single lion......here i am dying of hunger and the stupid monkey might be playing somewhere and feeding with nuts!!! just u come stupid monkey!!!grrr!!"
Upon hearing this, the lion understood everything and then he fled like a bullet in the air......
moral of the story: Attitude matters in most difficult times.
