Lesson number one-----------------
A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day. A small rabbit saw the
crow, and asked him, "Can I also sit like you and do nothing all day long?"The crow answered: "Sure, why not." So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the
crow, and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate
it.Moral of the story is:
To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.
Lesson number two
-----------------
A turkey was chatting with a bull. "I would love to be able to get to the top of
that tree," sighed the turkey, "but I haven't got the energy""Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?" replied the bull. "They're
packed with nutrients."The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and found that it actually gave him enough
strength to reach the first branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some
more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fornight, there he was
proudly perched at the top of the tree.Soon he was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot the turkey out of the tree.
Moral of the story:
Crap might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.
