The ugly wild boar

THE UGLY




BOARS'

Once upon a time, the are seven
wild boars in the forest. They are
persecuted by the lion, and afraid

even of their own shadows.

So the wild boars set up a
meeting to decide what to do.

The conclusion they came to was to die
rather than live on with this shame.

So, they went to a pond, determined to
drown themselves.

But when they were just about to jump,

some frogs who had been sitting on a water
lily, startled by the noise they made, rushed

to the deep water for safety.

"Look," cried a wild boar, there are creatures
who are even afraid of us,

So things are not so bad, after all.
We don't need to die anymore.

(Moral of the story)
“However unfortunate we may think we are, there

is always someone worse off than ourselves.”
