Saturday Story from Siva (20): Story of The Wolf and His Loss

Hi,
Last Saturday I mailed the Saturday Story, but missed posting it on my blog. Here it is...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story of The Wolf and His Loss
An Excerpt from Panchatantra by Vishnu Sharma
One day, a wolf was wandering in the forest with a piece of meat in his mouth. When he saw a fish in the river water, he put down the piece of meat and ran to catch the fish. Just then, an owl swooped down upon the piece of meat and flew away with it. On the other hand, the fish too swam back deep into the river. The wolf lost both and had nothing to eat.

There is also a saying, “A bird in hand is worth two in the bush.” It is important to take a look at what we already possess in our hand. It is perhaps time to sit down and make an inventory of what we have at hand as of now: the property we earned (both cash and kind), the skills we learned, the accomplishments we made, the good things we did, the best friends we made, the work contacts and partnerships we developed, the virtues we imbibed, etc., This weekend, I would like to sit down and make a list of all these and possibly develop a plan on how to preserve so as not to lose them. How about you??
Wishing you The Best always!
With love and regards,
Siva
