LESSONS ON LEADERSHIP AND MEMBERSHIP FROM FA BLES
Can you identify the lesson being taught by each story?
The Farmer and the Stork A Farmer placed nets on his newly sown plough lands, and caught a quantity of Cranes, which came to pick up his seed. With them he trapped a Stork also. The Stork having his leg fractured by the net, earnestly besought the Farmer to spare his life. <Pray, save me, Master,= he said, <and let me go free this once. My broken limb should excite your pity. Besides, I am no Crane, I am a Stork, a bird of excellent character; and see how I love and slave for my father and mother. Look too, at my feathers, they are not the least like to those of a Crane.= The Farmer laughed aloud, and said, <It may be all as you say; I only know this, I have taken you with these robbers, the Cranes, and you must die in their company.=The farmer replies that since it has been caught in the company of thieves, it must suffer the same fate. The moral of the story, which is announced beforehand in the oldest texts, is that associating with bad companions will lead to bad consequences
The Hunter and the Woodsman A hunter, not very bold, was searching for the tracks of a Lion. He asked a man felling oaks in the forest if he had seen any marks of his footsteps or knew where his lair was. <I will,= said the man, <at once show you the Lion himself.= The Hunter, turning very pale and chattering with his teeth from fear, replied, <No, thank you. I did not ask that; it is his track only I am in search of, not the Lion himself.= The hunter is looking for the track of lion. A woodsman offered to show the hunter the lion, but the woodman refuse saying he was just looking for tracks. Moral Lesson: As a hero you should be brave in your deeds as well as words. As a hero we need to be brave, it means that we should do what we say.
Bear and man lying down
Two men were traveling together, when a bear suddenly met them on their path. One of them climbed up quickly into a tree, and concealed himself in the branches. The other, seeing that he must be attacked, fell flat on the ground, and when the Bear came up and felt him with his snout, and smelt him all over, he held his breath, and feigned the appearance of death as much as he could. The Bear soon left him, for it is said he will not touch a dead body. When he was quite gone, the other traveler descended from the tree, and accosting his friend, jocularly inquired <what it was the Bear had whispered in his ear?= he replied, <He gave me this advice: Never travel with a friend who deserts you at the approach of
danger.= Man 1: <What was it the bear whispered in your ear?= Man 2: <He
gave me this advice: Never travel with a friend who deserts you at the
approach of danger.= The moral of this fable is: Misfortune tests the
sincerity of friends.
- Goatherd and the wild goats
A Goatherd, driving his flock from their pasture at eventide, found some Wild Goats mingled among them, and shut them up together with his own for the night. The next day it snowed very hard, so that he could not take the herd to their usual feeding places, but was obliged to keep them in the fold. He gave his own goats just sufficient food to keep them alive, but fed the strangers more abundantly in the hope of enticing them to stay with him and of making them his own. When the thaw set in, he led them all out to feed, and the Wild Goats scampered away as fast as they could to the mountains. The Goatherd scolded them for their ingratitude in leaving him, when during the storm he had taken more care of them than of his own herd. One of them, turning about, said to him: <That is the very reason why we are so cautious; for if you yesterday treated us better than the Goats you have had so long, it is plain also that if others came after us, you would in the same manner prefer them to ourselves.= <Do not expect us to join your flock,= replied one of the Wild Goats. <We know how you would treat us later on, if some strangers should come as we did.= Moral Lesson: It is unwise to treat old friends badly for the sake of new ones.
