Baba Story Time : The Wise Lion - From Jataka Tales

 Hello everybody, how are you all today, now baba going to tell some old good story taken from indian jataka tales.
its a good story , and like other story it all begins with once upon a time..

A hare once resting under a banyan tree had a premonition of doom. “What would happen to me if the earth were to break up?” he wondered. Suddenly, there was a ‘thud’ followed by a rumbling sound. “it’s happened,” thought the hare, “the earth’s breaking up !”He jumped up and ran.

“Why are you running?” asked another hare who crossed his path. “The earth’s breaking up!” shouted the first hare. “You’d better run too.” The second hare ran so fast he overtook the first. “The earth’s breaking up, the earth’s breaking up!” he shouted to other hares he passed. Soon thousands of hares were scampering through the forest. Other animals too got caught up in the panic. The word spread from mouth to mouth, and soon everyone knew: the earth was breaking up.
It was not long before the whole jungle was on the move. Reptiles, insects, birds and four-footed animals fled in wild disorder, and their cries of terror filled the air.

A lion standing on a hillock, saw the animals coming and wondered what was going on. He hastened down and positioning himself in front of the horde called for it to stop. “The earth is breaking up!” shrieked a parrot, alighting on a rock near him. “Who says so?” “I heard it from the monkeys.” The monkeys said they had heard it from the tigers, who said their informants were the elephants, who gave the buffaloes as their source. When the hares were finally implicated they pointed one to another until the one who had started it all was identified.

“What makes you think the earth is breaking up?” the lion asked him. “I heard it cracking with my own ears, sir,” said the hare, trembling in fear. The lion investigated the sound the hare had heard and found that it had been caused by a large coconut falling from a tree. It had landed on a pile of rocks, causing a minor landslide.

“Go back to your homes,” said the lion to the animals who had been running away, and who were now looking very foolish. ” The earth is safe. Next time check a rumor before acting on it “.

Well my friend the moral of this story is very clear, whatever it is we must check it first whatever it is, rumors, information, news etc because if we blindly accept it and spread without knowing the fact it can misleading and its not good at all.and dont forget my friend and the important thing is spread love, kindness, think good, speak good, do good and the important thing
