The Story.
A noble man’s
elephant was daily taken to the river. One day he stopped at a tailor’s shop
and got a loaf of bread from him. He ate it up with great joy. The next day he
stopped again in front of the shop. And the tailor again gave him a loaf of
bread. This went on for several days.
One day the
elephant stopped there as usual. But the tailor was in an angry mood. He only
pricked a needle into his trunk. The elephant did not like the joke and quietly
went away to the river. He filled his trunk with mud, on his return. He sprinkled
it all over the clothes in his shop as he passed by. The poor man was sorry for
what he had hone. But it was no use crying over spilt Milk.
Moral. As you sow, so shall you reap.
