BEING TOO GOOD

Once upon a time, there was a village where people had never seen a camel. One day, a camel came to the village. It was a strange animal for them. The camel grazed around. The villagers were surprised to see this animal which didn’t harm anyone.

Everyone made guesses about that strange animal. Many of them said that it was an animal sent by the God. Another one said that it was some powerful animal.

But all of them agreed that it couldn’t harm anyone. Some of them tried to disturb him. Still he didn’t get angry. They noticed that the animal was cool and calm as he didn’t show any anger on being disturbed. The villagers began to load burden on him. There was no difference between an ass and a camel.

At last the camel stayed with them in their village and worked as a beast of burden.

Moral: Sometimes, being too good is also bad.
