Lessons Of Life!!

The Turtles

A turtle family decided to go on a picnic. The
turtles, being naturally slow about things, took seven
years to prepare for their outing. Finally the turtle
family left home looking for a suitable place. During
the second year of their journey they found a place
ideal for them at last!

For about six months they cleaned the area, unpacked
the picnic basket, and completed the arrangements.
Then they discovered they had forgotten the salt. A
picnic without salt would be a disaster, they all
agreed. After a lengthy discussion, the youngest
turtle was chosen to retrieve the salt from home.
Although he was the fastest of the slow moving
turtles, the little turtle whined, cried, and wobbled
in his shell. He agreed to go on one condition: that
no one would eat until he returned. The family
consented and the little turtle left.

Three years passed and the little turtle had not
returned. Five years...six years... then on the
seventh year of his absence, the oldest turtle could
no longer contain his hunger. He announced that he was
going to eat and begun to unwrap a sandwich.
At that point the little turtle suddenly popped out
from behind a tree shouting, "See! I knew you
wouldn't wait. Now I am not going to go get the salt."

[Some of us waste our time waiting for people to live
up to our expectations. We are so concerned about what
others are doing that we don't do anything ourselves.]


The Frogs

A farmer came into town and asked the owner of a
restaurant if he could use a million frog legs. The
restaurant owner was shocked and asked the man where
he could get so many frog legs! The farmer replied,
"There is a pond near my house that is full of frogs -
millions of them. They all croak all night long and
they are about to make me crazy!" So the restaurant
owner and the farmer made an agreement that the farmer
would deliver frogs to the restaurant, five hundred at
a time for the next several weeks.

The first week, the farmer returned to the restaurant
looking rather sheepish, with two scrawny little
frogs. The restaurant owner said, "Well... where are
all the frogs?" The farmer said, "I was mistaken.
There were only these two frogs in the pond. But
they sure were making a lot of noise!"

[ Next time you hear somebody criticizing or making
fun of you, remember, it's probably just a couple of
noisy frogs. Also remember that problems always seem
bigger in the dark. Have you ever tried lyind on your bed at
night worrying about things which seem almost
overwhelming like a million frogs croaking? Chances
are pretty good that when the morning comes, and you
take a closer look, you'll wonder what all the fuss
was about.]
