Hello peeps
Howdy?
Here's an interesting story you would love to read.
I told you all,I'm back with mind blowing stories. Read and enjoy ☺️
To most animals and insects in the village, humans are horrible a lot,never to be trusted. One day, according to a fable Andy heard from his Aunty, as expert hunters stepped into the bush with their hunting dogs,bows and arrows,all animals ran for cover. In their hiding place, the giant rat was surprised to see the lizard quivering and nervously hiding together with it. "You don't have no business hiding here with me, Mr. Lizard..."
"Humans don't eat you for sure..."
"You are almost good for nothing",the giant rat said in a whisper to the lizard.
"Keep quiet please", replied the lizard, now fully shaken with fear.
"Never you trust humans..."
" They're are terrible beings... monsters...
"If they don't kill you for pepper soup, they kill you for kicks..."
No sooner than the hunters walked past their hiding place, the lizard began to narrate to the giant rat the painful ordeal his first cousins, the monitor lizards, he'd suffered in the hands of humans. "For your information, no pepper soup is more delicious to humans than monitor lizards pepper soup" the lizard boasted.
The giant rat agreed humans are wicked and must never be trusted as lizard said. But he mocked the lizard for comparing itself with the monitor lizards. "Look Mr. Lizard, I thought we were talking about fishes in the water...
"How come you mentioned the crab...
"Are crabs the same as fishes"?
The lizard was enraged at that point. He would take it no more from the cocky giant rat that had earlier referred to the lizard as good-for-nothing. The lizard took strong objection to being described as a crab. He erupted in anger like a volcano, spewing abusive words in an uncontrolled outburst.
In the commotion that ensued, the Hunter's eagle eyes were attracted to the scene. They wasted no time directing arrows at the fighting duo. Both the giant rat and lizard suddenly found themselves in mortal danger, as the hunter's arrows did not recognize any difference between the rat and the lizard. In the end, the two paid a heavy price for their pride, arrogance and bitter quarrel. The giant rat bit the dust, while the lizard lost one of it's hind limbs. With a bleeding wound, the lizard limped up the tallest Coconut tree to hide in pains.
Long after the hunters were gone with the lifeless giant rat, the wounded lizard jumped down, all the way from the tallest Coconut, feeling lucky to be alive. The lizard heaved a great sigh of relief, looked around and saw other family members nibbling away on insects. It was the expectation of the wounded lizard that the family would rejoice and congratulate it on the narrow escape. No dice! With only three legs, the wounded lizard looked odd and was ostracized.
Noth bothered, the three-legged lizard refused to feel inferior, but picked courage, told off his family members and limped about to catch some grasshoppers for lunch.
"If I escape seven hunters,fall from the tallest coconut tree with only three legs and you don't congratulate me, I will congratulate myself", the lizard said. It was a never-say-die attitude that saw the wounded lizard outlive other lizards to become the king lizard a few years later.
So people, this story has a lot of lessons, which one is, "no matter what you go through in life,keep congratulating yourself like the lizard and move on because you'll surely attain greater positions"
Have a nice reading guys.
