"The Lion and the Goat"
Assalamualaikum everyone
hope you are well and weearing clothes of honor... Today my post is about a great and instructive story So please enjoy the post vote for the post and resteem it.
THE LION AND GOAT:
One hot afternoon, a lion came to a quiet spring deep in the forest. As he bent down to drink, he saw a goat on the other side of the spring, sipping water peacefully.
The lion thought, "That goat looks like a tasty meal. But if I attack now, it might escape across the stream. I need a clever plan."
He roared across the spring, "Hey, goat! What are you doing here? This is my spring!"
The goat looked up calmly and said, "Oh, I didn’t know it belonged to you. But I’m just drinking water like you are There’s plenty for both of us
The lion growled, "You stepped on the grass near my den earlier That’s an offense!"
The goat chuckled and saidThat’s impossible I’ve just arived here You’re just triying to find an excuse to attack me
The lion paused realizing he had been caught The goat wise and brave stood his ground, showing no fear
Just then, a loud rumble echoed through the trees hunters were nearby. The lion fled into the forist and the goat trotted away, unhaarmed and proud.
The lion, typically seen as the epitome of strength and dominance, finds himself in an unusual situation where he realizes he has been "caught" or outmaneuvered by the goat. The goat, though smaller and seemingly more vulnerable, demonstrates intelligence and bravery by standing its ground instead of fleeing in fear. This act of defiance confuses the lion, who may have expected the goat to react with panic.
As the tension builds, external forces (the hunters) intervene, creating a new dynamic. The loud rumble signaling the approach of hunters prompts the lion—the supposed predator—to flee for safety. Meanwhile, the goat, having already faced danger head-on, calmly walks away unharmed, embodying both pride and resilience.
Themes:
- Courage Overcomes Fear: The goat's decision to stand firm despite being physically weaker than the lion shows that mental fortitude can often outweigh physical power.
- Unexpected Outcomes: Life is full of surprises. Even when one expects a certain outcome (the lion overpowering the goat), unforeseen events (the arrival of hunters) can shift circumstances dramatically.
- Nature’s Balance: Both animals escape harm in different ways, suggesting that survival depends not just on brute force but also on adaptability and quick thinking.
- Humility vs Arrogance: The lion’s momentary realization that he is not invincible contrasts with the goat’s quiet confidence, reinforcing
MORAL OF THE STORY:
Wisdom and courage can outsmart even the strongest of enemies
