A young saint and an old matured saint were trekking in a wild forest. The old saint observed an ant struggling in the water. The old saint took pity on it and left his finger in water, so that the ant would climb and save itself. Unfortunately, the ant bit the old saint. Yelling with pain, he shook his hand, the ant again fell into the water.
Now understanding its behaviour, the old saint used stick to save the life of the ant.
Seeing this, the young saint asked with eagerness, “Why are you saving this ant, which pricked you?”
The old saint replied, “It is the tendency of the ant to prick others, but it is human tendency to save others”.
Moral: Even when others degrade you, think, it is their tendency to ridicule but, it is your character to think of goodness about them.
SMILE PLEASE: On explaining this story to his students, a teacher asked, "What do you infer from this story?". One student stood and answered, "Ants bite!!".
