Guest guest Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Dear Sai Devotees, In this week's echat, we will read a story where the nature of the beast shows... ---------------------- Once while a lion was eating his dinner, a bone got stuck in his throat. It hurt so much that the lion restlessly walked up and down, roaring with pain. A woodpecker resting on the tree branch volunteered to help, and the lion agreed. As a precaution, the woodpecker put a stick between the lion's upper and lower jaws so that the lion could not shut his mouth and swallow the bird after the bone is removed. Then the woodpecker hopped into the lion's mouth and hit on the bone until it came lose. Then the woodpecker hopped out of the lion's mouth and hit the stick so that it too fell out. The lion felt very much pleased, but not one word of thanks did he say to the woodpecker. Some time later, the woodpecker said to the lion, "I want you to do something for me.Do something for you?" said the lion. "You mean you want me to do something more for you. I have already done a great deal for you. You cannot expect me to do anything more for you. Don't forget that once I had you in my mouth, and I let you go. That is all that you can ever expect me to do for you."------- No good deed goes unpunished: such is the nature of the beast, such is the nature of the world.... OM SAI RAM!
