Text for Listening

I. A
On a hot summer day, a fox comes upon an orchard and sees a bunch of ripened
grapes. It thinks: “Just what I need to quench my thirst.” It moves back a few paces, runs,
and jumps but falls short of reaching the grapes. It tries in different ways to reach the
bunch of grapes, but in vain. It finally gives up, and says to himself “I am sure they are
sour anyway.”

B.
Once, a Lion sat thinking by himself. He had sharp, strong claws and teeth and
was a beast with immense strength. Yet, whenever he heard a Cock crowing, he would be
extremely scared.
The Lion, thus, complained, “Can a life like this be worth living? I am one of the
strongest and the bravest and yet, a lowly creature, such as, a Cock has the power to rob
my life of its charm by simply crowing!”
Just then, a huge Elephant came along, flapping his ears to and fro, with an air of
great concern. “What troubles you so?” asked the Elephant.
The Lion thought of sharing his grief with the Elephant and asked him, “Can
anything harm a beast like you who has tremendous bulk and strength?” The Elephant
replied, “Do you see this little bee? If he ever stings the innermost parts of my ear, I will
go mad with pain.”
The Lion understood that even the strongest creatures have weak points. He
gained self-confidence and decided never to let troubles overshadow his joys in life.
