Once, a king went hunting with his wise counselor. After a long time, they stopped to feed the horses some peas.
Suddenly a young monkey ran down a tree and scooped a huge handful of peas out of the feeding trough.
Halfway
back up the tree one pea fell from the monkey's furry hands and, in a
desperate attempt to catch it, the monkey dropped all the peas he was
carrying.
Peas scattered on the ground and the horses ate them.
The monkey was disappointed and went up the tree and sat on a branch
with a sad face.
The king and his wise counselor watched this
with amusement. The counselor chuckled, "Great King, when far too
greedy you be, remember that monkey and the pea."
Friends! This
simple story says that when you are greedy, you will be hasty in your
actions. The monkey was hasty and did not want to lose the pea that he
had dropped from his hands. While trying to get it, he dropped all the
peas and ended up losing everything he had.
Let us not be hasty and lose what we have but be wise and be diligent in our work. Then the Lord shall bless us. “The plans of the diligent lead surely to plenty, But those of everyone who is hasty, surely to poverty”
