The wise and the opportunist kitty

Long ago , in Greece , there was a young man who longed to become wise . So he went looking for someone who could teach him wisdom . Before long , the young man found an old man who was a renowned scholar , versed in the science and Greek philosophy .

The old sage said to the young man :

__ Yes, I can forward you the wisdom and pleasure, but we must walk the world in search of knowledge.

The young apprentice agreed to follow the old .

Out into the world in search of the coveted wisdom and the days went by . They were increasingly away from home . Until they stopped in a village and a hilltop spotted a hut , falling apart .

The old man said to the young man :

__ It's been many days that we are on the road, going up to that house for cover from the top for the night very early tomorrow and continue the journey .

The young man nodded and went to the hut.

After bumping the old door in the compound , a very nice couple had asked them cordially and the old landing .

The couple then said :

__ You can spend a night here at our house , because the funds have a room to spare and there are two beds , where you can settle in and sleep soundly ; over night , you are entitled to a mug of hot milk .

The old man protested nonconformist ?

__ Only a mug of hot milk ?

__ Yes , just a mug of hot milk , because we have a cow that gives us milk every day and how we live our lives . This kitty is our salvation, for it is we draw our sustenance . If this kitty miss one day , we will die of hunger .

The wise old man looked at the humble state of the house because the couple was very poor and lived in need .

Before long , the young apprentice and the old wise man were to collect after taking a mug of hot milk, because the other day would have to leave early to continue the journey .

The next morning , bright and early , the two were already up and preparing to leave , when suddenly the old man looked at Kitty couple that was in the stable and ordered the young apprentice :

__Pega And kitty playing in cliff .

The young man refused immediately .

__ I am ordering , do what I tell my young kitty takes this and plays on the precipice .

Trapped, the young man sadly pushed the kitty over the precipice and left.

Many of us passed and the young once returned to the village to make sure what happened to the couple who survived the costs Kitty . He thought , " must have starved , poor things ."

Arriving at the small village , the young man saw the tapera the hill , immediately thought the worst . So he decided to knock on the door of a beautiful house with a large garden , this was the most beautiful house in the village, to certify what happened to that poor couple.

A woman answered , and he asked what happened to the couple who lived on the hill . The good lady replied meekly :

__ Oh , that couple is us. Once you and that old sage departed , found our dead at the bottom of a cliff kitty , we almost died of hunger because we lacked milk every day, it was our only way of survival. But from there , descruzamos arms and set off to fight, my husband and I started working hard and our lives changed radically until enrich us and today we are the richest family of that village.

The moral of this story is that the poor couple lived accommodated because there was a cow that gave them milk every day and that they did not need to worry about anything . Because of this , laziness and complacency took root in married life , preventing them from fighting to crave prosperity. The kitty was the cause of the misery of the couple .

Because in our life we have one kitty, but many who are engaging in self-indulgence and prevents us achieve our goals in this life . For us to succeed in life , we have to play our daily indulgence kitties on the precipice .
