Wisdom talks

wise animals can lead others

You know?  I really wonder, has anyone ever seen a lion eating a tiger?  Or a wolf eating a fox?  I have never seen that.  But you can see a lion eating a deer, or a tiger eating a zebra, or a wolf eating a sheep, or a fox eating a hen.  Why is that?" wondered the Mr. Sheep.  "The reason is clear, dear.  They don't eat each other because they fear each other, while we fear them all.  You can imagine what may happen if a lion attacks a herd of deer.  They will all run in front of him and he runs behind them picking one to hunt.  When he catches one, will the others come to her rescue or until he lets her go?  This is the real difference.  If we want power which all others fear and respect, the only way is to form a union.  We should become one body.  Together we will be strong.  We will be respected.  We will be masters not slaves like we are now.   We will be able to solve our own problems without the need of  interference of all animals councils.  We can make our organization stronger and then it will be responsible for solving all the problems amongst the members of the new alliance.  We have many advantages because our lands are close to the river and most of our animals need to pass through it if they want to drink.  We have good weather because we are closer to the river, We have enough food if we exchange accordingly to the needs of each species. For instance, deer grow carrots on their land but they don't eat carrots, so they could exchange them for grass from the land of rabbits, and so on."

        "Umm...no!  This can never happen.  My land is the wealthiest among you.  We are all not equal.  We produce so many more products.  My land produces rare crops like corn, wheat and sugar cane.  How can any of them equal my crops?  I must exchange my crops for carrots or grass?  This is really unfair.  This unacceptable,"  commented the deer.

    Again, the meeting ended without making a clear decision.  The forces of the animal council were still surrounding the land of rabbits and frogs.  The rabbits still occupied the land of the frogs and the vegetarian animals organization is still smuggling food for their forces.  The only one who makes out ahead is Mr. Fox! 

        Meanwhile the vegetarian animals are living in misery.  They are unable to solve the simplest problem that they face.  Wild animals are using them for food, service, clothes.  Some of the vegetarian animals discovered that the answer to the problem is power.  If they had power they would get justice and freedom.  However, they are weak animals.   The only way to gain respect is by gaining power. To achieve this, it is imperative that they unite because there is power in numbers. 
        There were talks going around that the most noble, generous  and the fastest steed. was participating in the unified animal forces and organization in the forest to be able to implore the animals to collectively unite.  The vegetarian animals who were powerful are all part of the unification project  The vegetarian animals only asked for their legal  rights and face the threats of the adversary..  Mr. Horse's reputation soon preceded him throughout the land.  Many different animals were entering the union.  After uniting tens of different nations of vegetarian animals, he started to solve the problems between the frogs and the rabbits. Iit was very simple.  He invited Mr. Rabbit and Mr. Frog to a meeting where he asked them the reason for this fight.  Mr. Frog told him the reason was that the frogs make very loud, noisy voices especially at night while rabbits are sleeping.  When Mr. Horse asked Mr. Frog about the source of information he acquired that the rabbits were trying to kill the frogs, he told him that Mr. Fox was the  informant.  And when he asked Mr. Rabbit how he acquired information about the frogs trying to make the rabbits leave their land by making loud voices he told him Mr. Fox gave them that information.

            Now, Mr. Horse has seen the picture.  He understood Mr. Fox's plan to incite war between rabbits and frogs.  Mr. Rabbit explained why they dig tunnels, telling them that this was a way of life for them.  They live and keep their babies underground.  He also said that rabbits never intended to cause harm to the frogs.  Frogs also also said that they never wanted to cause any harm to the rabbits, and that they would never prevent  rabbits from reaching water.  Both rabbits and frogs understood, and were able to make peace with one another.  Mr. Rabbit promised that they will evacuate from the frogs lands as soon as possible.

            Mr. Horse invited all vegetarian animals to a meeting in which they would discuss the right of frogs to live in their own land and liberate them from all foxes. All heads of species attended the meeting.  They decided to make a plan to liberate the frogs lands.  But the problem was not just the foxes.

             "But the problem is not just the foxes,"  said Mr. Frog.
           
             "Yes, most wild animals support foxes including lions, tigers, wolves, dogs..." said Mr. Deer.
            
            "But if we unite and become one, no other forces will face us!" exclaimed Mr. Horse.

            "So what is your plan, Mr. Horse?"  asked Mr. Giraffe.

            "Okay. I will tell you about my plan.  I want frogs to keep making that loud voice they are known to do.  Not only that, but i want them to make it louder and louder.  I want it to be the loudest at night, then we can keep digging the ground under their feet" added Mr. Rabbit."

            "But what about the wild animal forces surrounding the land of rabbits?  We are sure they will support the foxes so we must be prepared to fight against them all," averred Mr. Monkey.

            "Yes, I am going to make a plan contingent upon upon the abilities of each species,"  declared Mr. Horse
