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.
