One weekend in Los Angeles a lawyer decided to go for hunting. The lawyer drove a long way and found a nice place for hunting in the forest. The lawyer found a rabbit jumping here and there, the lawyer shoot it and watched it falling dead in the ground. For his misfortune the rabbits fell on the other side of the brans fence.
The lawyer thought that since he shot the rabbit it belongs to him so he climbed the fence and got hold of the rabbit and climbs back again. Just he gets back the owner of the fence came to him and said "give me my rabbit". The lawyer replied him "your rabbit no no I shot it this is mine".
No the owner said it was lying in my land so it was mine. The lawyer became very angry and shouted that "Look I am a lawyer, I will sue you, you will lose and I will get the rabbit". The owner was very clever and he said that no that was not the way we do here, we use the three kick rule.
The lawyer decided to follow the same said, "Ok how does that work?" the owner said that that I kick you three times to full my full strength then you have to kick me the same way and we keep on going like this until one gives up. Fine said the lawyer let’s start it. I will go first said the owner and he kicked the lawyer to his full strength in the groin. And when the lawyer bent over in pain the owner kicked him in his face and the third kick the owner kicked him in the stomach.
After the lawyer got the unbearable pain he said now is my turn. The owner said "No I will quit the game and you can have the rabbit".
Once upon a time two mouse were very close friends. One lived in a town and the other lived in a country. One day the town mouse went to see the country mouse. The country mouse was very happy on seeing his friend and he prepared a nice feast for him. The town mouse looked at the fruit and car of corn with detestation.
Then he asked his friend "Is this how you live? Life in the country does not offer much."
On his return the town mouse asked his friend to come with him to the town to see and enjoy all the good things here.
The country mouse packed all his belongings and started with his friend to the city. He was really surprised to see all the things there. But the happiness did not remain for a long time.
As soon as they sat for a fine meal of cheese and fruit a big cat jumped in through the window. Seeing the cat both the mouse ran into their holes to save their life. The cat ate their fruit and went. When the cat has gone both of them came out of their hole.
The country mouse cried and said to his friend that "I am going. I like my simple food in safety than this grand feast in such a danger."
Moral of the story : The first important thing in life is safety.
3. Battle of the Snakes Story
There was a man who was not kind to animals. One day when he was hunting, he found a rattlesnake and decided to torture it. He held its head to the ground and pierced it with a piece of bark. Then as it was caught there, he tormented it.
"We shall fight," he said and then burned the snake until it was dead. He thought this was a great jest and so, whenever he found a snake, he would do the same thing.
One day another man from his village was walking through the forest when he heard a strange sound. It was louder than the wind hissing through the tops of tall pine trees. He crept closer to see. There, in a great clearing, were many snakes. They were gathered for a war council and as he listened in fright he heard them say:
"We shall now fight with them. Djisdaah has challenged us and we shall go to war. In four days we shall go to their village and fight them."
The man crept away and then ran as fast as he could to his village to tell what he had heard and seen. The chief sent other men to see if the report was true. They returned in great fright.
"Ahhhh," they said, "it is so. The snakes are all gathering to have a war."
The chief of the village could see that he had no choice. "We must fight," he said and ordered the people of the village to make preparations for the battle. They cut mountains of wood and stacked it in long piles all around the village. They built rows of stakes close together to keep the snakes out. When the fourth day came, the chief ordered that the piles of wood be set on fire. Just as he did so they heard a great noise, like a great wind in the trees. It was the noise of the snakes, hissing as they came to the village to do battle.
Usually a snake will not go near a fire, but these snakes were determined to have their revenge. They went straight into the flames. Many of them died, but the living snakes crawled over the bodies of the dead ones and continued to move forward until they reached the second row of stakes.
Once again, the chief ordered that the piles of wood in the second row of defense be set on fire. But the snakes crawled straight into the flames, hissing their war songs, and the living crawled over the bodies of the dead. It was a terrible sight. They reached the second row of stakes and, even though the people fought bravely, it was no use. The snakes were more numerous than fallen leaves and they could not be stopped. Soon they forced their way past the last row of stakes and the people of the village were fighting for their lives. The first man to be killed was Djisdaah, the one who had challenged the snakes to battle.
It was now clear that they could never win this battle. The chief of the village shouted to the snakes who had reached the edge of the village: "Hear me, my brothers. We surrender to you.
We have done you a great wrong. Have mercy on us."
The snakes stopped where they were and there was a great silence.
The exhausted warriors looked at the great army of snakes and the snakes stared back at them. Then the earth trembled and cracked in front of the human beings. A great snake, a snake taller than the biggest pine tree, whose head was larger than a great long house, lifted himself out of the hole in the earth
"Hear me," he said. "I am the chief of all the snakes. We shall go and leave you in peace if you will agree to two things."
The chief looked at the great snake and nodded his head. "We will agree, Great Chief," he said.
"It is well," said the Chief of the Snakes. "These are the two things. First, you must always treat my people with respect. Secondly, as long as the world stands, you will never name another man Djisdaah."
And so it was agreed and so it is, even today.
