African Stories and their Morals!
A small story:
The Hawk told the Baby Hawk to go out and prey by itself. The Baby Hawk saw the hen who left its children running helter-skelter. It snaps up one of the chicks. The hen makes a furious, loud and dust-raising display of its anger. The Baby Hawk flew to its Mother with its prey. The mum asked about the experience, the new hunter explained the Hen's reaction. Mother Hawk said:
"Don't be worried. That's all that will happen, have no fear, eat your meal."
The next day, the baby Hawk set out to hunt again. This time it saw the Duck and its children marching in a single line and orderly manner, the hunter snapped one of the baby duck, but the mother Duck made no noise, no scene, simply nodded and continued marching. The baby Hawk explained to its Mum that this was an easy one, and the duck seem weak and unperturbed at the loss.
Mother Hawk said, ?return the baby duck; for the patience of the Duck is not a sign of weakness, but an indication of the intent to plot a sweet revenge.?
Lesson: Don't make too much noise, for the empty barrel makes the loudest noise, but quietly plan for the surprise element brings the last laugh!
