In one of Aesop\u2019s fables -and those are some of the greatest fables in the world, so simple and so significant -a small sheep is drinking water from a mountain stream of crystal-clear water. A great lion comes and naturally becomes interested in the sheep -it is breakfast time, but he has to find an excuse. So he says to the sheep, \u201cYou are dirtying the stream. Don\u2019t you understand that I am the king of the jungle?\u201d<\/p>\n
The poor sheep says, \u201cI know, but Your Highness, the stream is not going toward you. I am standing below you, and even if it becomes dirty by my drinking water, the water is going downstream -not toward you. You are making it dirty and I am drinking that dirty water. So your logic is not right.\u201d
\nThe lion saw the point and became very angry. He said, \u201cYou don\u2019t have respect for your elders. You have some nerve arguing with me.\u201d
\nThe poor sheep said, \u201cI have not argued, I have simply said what was factual. You can see that the stream is coming toward me.\u201d<\/p>\n
The lion was silent for a moment and then said, \u201cNow I remember. You belong to a very uncultured, uneducated family. Your father insulted me yesterday.\u201d The poor sheep said, \u201cIt must have been somebody else, because my father has been dead for three months -and you must know that he is within your belly. He is no longer alive, you have made a lunch of him. How can he behave disrespectfully toward you? He is dead!\u201d
\nThat was too much. The lion jumped and caught hold of the sheep, saying, \u201cYou don\u2019t know manners, you don\u2019t know etiquette, you don\u2019t know how to behave.\u201d
\nThe sheep said, \u201cThe simple fact is, it is breakfast time. You simply eat me; there is no need to find any excuse.\u201d
\nIn such simple parables, Aesop has done miracles. He has said so much about man.<\/p>\n
