It was a hot summer day. After wandering for many hours, a bull sat down to take some rest, chewing cud with his eyes half shut. All of a sudden, he realised that a tiny animal was sitting on his horn. It was a parakeet. Silently, she sat on one of the horns of the bull and kept sitting there till it had rested fully. The parakeet wanted to show the bull that she had used his horn as a seat without letting him know about it. After a while, the parakeet asked the bull, “Would you mind, if I go now?” The bull replied, “I hardly care when a tiny creature like you comes and goes away after resting on my body. If you had thanked me for using my horn, it would have raised your worth in my eyes.” The parakeet felt ashamed and flew away.
Be Thankful
