🍂A Crow, a Deer and a Jackal
Once upon a time, there lived two friends in a forest, a Deer and a Crow. One day, a Jackal saw the Deer and wanted to trick him. “I live alone and have no friends. May I be your friend?” asked the Jackal.
“Well, all right,” said the Deer.
The Crow was not happy as the Jackal was a total stranger and they did not know him, at all.
The Jackal showed the Deer a corn field. The Deer began going there, daily.
One day, the Deer was caught in a trap set by the farmer. The Jackal saw what had happened and thought, This is what I wanted.’
The Deer called out to the Jackal for help, but he pretended not to hear. In the morning, the farmer returned with a stick in his hand. The Deer lay still pretending to be dead. When the farmer saw the Deer, he thought it was dead and was very happy.
As soon as he undid the trap, the Deer jumped up and ran away as fast as he could.
The farmer threw his stick at him. It missed the Deer but struck the Jackal, who was watching, and killed him on the spot.
Do not trust strangers.

🍂A Trader and his Luck
There was a Trader who carried goods, to and from far off places. Luck smiled on him and he grew rich. Whatever he touched turned into gold. His ships reached their destinations without any shipwreck. His partners, agents and vendors proved faithful. His goods were sold at the highest prices. He earned more money than he could spend.
One day, one of the Trader’s friends asked him,
“How did you get so much wealth?”
“It was all because of my skill, hard work and sound judgement,” he replied proudly. “I knew exactly when and where to invest,” he added.
Then the Trader put in all his money in new businesses. This time he did not succeed. It was because of his ill judgment. One of his ships was wrecked on high seas, another was plundered by Mice. His wares did not sell because of the change in fashions. He lost all the wealth and money he had!
The Trader’s friend asked him again, “How did you lose all your wealth and money?”
“It is because of bad luck!” he answered, sadly.
We should not blame luck for our failure, if we do not thank it for our success.
