🍂The Doctor and his Patient
One day, a Patient went to a Doctor complaining of severe stomachache. The Doctor examined the Patient and told him that the cause of his illness was excessive drinking of wine.
The Doctor prescribed the Patient some medicines and asked him to take them, regularly. The Patient took his medicines on time but did not stop drinking wine. As a result, his stomachache did not go away.
Finally, one day, the Patient died.
The Patient was a powerful man. Thus, a large crowd had gathered for his funeral. The Patient’s friends and relatives were crying over his death. The Doctor had also come for the funeral. He said to the relatives, “If only our dear friend had stopped drinking wine, he would have been
alive now Though he took his medications on time, he could not leave his drinking habit.”
One of the relatives of the Patient had been listening to the Doctor. He said, “Doctor, your advice is of no
use now! You should have asked your patient to stop drinking wine while he was alive.”
If the right advice is given at a wrong time then it is of no use.

🍂The Hawk and the Pigeons
A flock of Pigeons had made their dovecote around a lush green field. The field had another frequent visitor, a Hawk. All the Pigeons lived in the fear of the Hawk. They always lived on the alert. Every time, there was an attack by the Hawk, all the Pigeons hid themselves in their dovecote.
The Hawk found himself in a miserable position. He was not able to kill any Pigeon for his food. Finally, he thought of using a cunning trick to trap the Pigeons.
One morning, the Hawk called out to the Pigeons from far, “You all live a life of anxiety and fear. I can keep you safe from the attack of the falcons and the kites. All you have to do is, make me your King and I will not bother you any more.”
The innocent Pigeons believed the Hawk. They discussed among themselves and made the cunning Hawk their King. But, after a few days the Hawk began his royal feast.
He demanded to eat a Pigeon a day.
“It serves us right to believe the evil Hawk,” said all the grief-stricken Pigeons whose chances were yet to come.
Some remedies are worse than the disease, itself.

🍂The Bird Catcher and the Lark
One day, a Bird Catcher was setting traps upon a meadow. A beautiful Lark sat on a tree and watched him from a distance.
The Lark became curious and asked the Bird Catcher, “What are you doing?”
The Bird Catcher thought, if he could fool the Lark into his trap, he would be able to sell it for a good price.
He thought for a while and said, “0 Lark, I plan to build a colony for all birds and I am laying the foundation of my first house.”
After laying the trap, the Bird Catcher went to a nearby spot and hid himself in the bushes.
Meanwhile, the Lark who had believed the man, flew down to the trap.
After swallowing the bait, the Lark tried to fly away but found himself caught in the Bird Catcher’s trap.
While the Lark was struggling to get away, the Bird Catcher came and put him in a cage.
“You are a cunning fellow!” exclaimed the Lark. “If this is the kind of colony you are going to build, then you wouldn’t find many birds to settle down.”
Never trust your enemies.
