One day a sage was passing through a jungle when he heard
some animals brawling. The sage went near and saw that two goats were fighting
each other.
Though the goats were wounded terribly and profusely bled,
they continued to fight.
After some while, a jackal came here. He was hungry and
started licking the smeared blood, giving no heed to the goats.
The sage who had been watching for all this while thought to
himself, 'This jackal is foolish. He is acting out in greed and fails to
understand that if he comes between these fighting goats, he will be hurt
badly.'
The goats continued to fight bitterly. While they fought, the
jackal who had been craving for more blood came near them. He suddenly found
himself being caught between the angry goats.
Both agitated goats rammed him terribly and pulled him down
to death.
Moral: Greed is not good. One should not turn blind eye to
danger around.
