Stop to Think
One day, a man caught a dove. When it was in his hand, the bird cried out, " please so not kill me. Let me tell you four things which will make you rich."
" What are they?" asked the man.
" This is the first thing. You must keep waht you get." The man said," I shall do that."
" Next," said the dove, " you must not cry for what you cannot have."
" I shall not cry for what I cannot have," said the man. " and this is the third thing, " said the dove." You must always stop to think, because you will hear many things that will not be ture. Now let me fly to that tree. Then I can tell you the fourth thing."
So the man let the bird go.
" What was the first thing I told you?" it asked.
" Oh!" said the man. " You told me I must keep what I get."
The dove laughed and said, " You didn't do that. You let me go. Now I can tell you the fourth thing. It is this. Inside my body, there is a piece of gold as big as your head."
When the man heard that, he did not stop to think. He was angry, he pulled his hair, he bagan to cry."You are made of gold, but I let you fly away." he shouted.
"But what was the second thing I told you?" it asked.
" You told me I must not cry for waht I cannot have," said the man. So he stopped crying, and then the dove asked, " What was the bird thing?" The man stopped to think, and then he shouted, " It is not ture! There isn't any gold inside your body!"
" No," laughed the dove and it went away. |
