Dietrich Fischer – TRANSCEND Media Service
A mouse ran for her life away from a cat. She saw a cow and begged,
“Please cow, do something to save my life.”
The cow covered the mouse with her dung to hide her. Unfortunately, the mouse’s tail was sticking out of the cow dung, and the cat saw the tail, pulled the mouse out and ate her.
The moral is that not everybody who heaps dung on you has bad intentions, and not everybody who pulls you out of a mess has good intentions.

It’s so simple to be wise. Just think of something stupid to say and then don’t say it.
