eChat Of The Week: Don't Spend What You Don't Have!

[Guest guest]

Dear Sai Devotees,

In this week's eChat, we will read about a story with a lesson in it.....

-------------------------

Ali and Hasan went out bear hunting. For four days they saw nothing. Each night they slept in a nearby village, pledging part of the bear's skin against the cost of their lodging. On the fifth day a huge bear appeared, and Ali said nervously to his friend, "I don't mind confessing that I'm afraid to take this bear." Hasan laughed, "Just leave it to me."So Ali climbed up the nearest tree with a torch fire ready to be lit, and Hasan stood with his gun. The bear came lumbering on, Ali lit the torchand Hasan began to grow scared, took a premature shot and missed the bear.

Hasan, remembering that bears never touch a dead body, threw himself flat and held his breath. The bear came up, sniffed all around him and finally went off. Ali, who had been watching the whole affair from his tree, came down and, congratulating Hasan on his escape asked him, "What did the bear whisper in your ears?""Don't sell the bearskin before you have caught the bear."

May He give us the wisdom to follow this principle!

 

OM SAI RAM!
