Fifty - fifty
Retold by Panchamee Hewavissenti
Animals held their annual meeting in order to discuss their matters
in the jungle. When the turn arrived for animals to produce their
questions, herbivores demanded that they too need equal rights as
carnivores.
On hearing this, carnivores quipped at herbivores saying “Your idea
is fine. We do agree too. But you all don’t have strong claws and sharp
teeth as we do”.
Morale of the story
There are people who grumble that they are not given due recognition
and honour. When people who deserve due recognition and honour enjoy all
facilities, others think that they too deserve it. But they do not think
that they are qualified enough to demand those which are enjoyed by
those who are qualified. That is mainly due to their ignorance.
Human beings are varied in ability. One may not be able to do what
another is able. Before demanding something another is enjoying, one
should ponder whether he is qualified enough.
