THE OX AND THE COLT
One day an ox and a colt arrived at a waterhole at the same time to
drink. For a few minutes they stood and started at each other. Finally the ox
spoke, Surely youll want me to drink first , my young friend, for Im many
years older than you .
Should I let you go first merely merely because youve grown old ?
asked the colt. The world today belongs to the young. After all, young people
havent made as many mistakes as your generation has !
Such disrespect made the ox angry, but he tried not to show it. Then
certainly, you will respect me because Ive experienced more of life than you ,
said the ox.
But the colt argued, Why should do that ? You forget that the world
has changed. The young today face more in a few years than you faced in a
decade in the years of your youth, said the colt.
Then, honor me for what oxen have done through the years ! the ox
demanded.
And what have oxen done thats been so great ?
Theyve tilled the fields of the kings ! the ox cried.
Have they ? replied the colt. Youve forgotten that horses have
carried the kings themselves on their backs for centuries. Really, all of your
arguments so far have made me laugh!
The ox couldnt endure his anger. He put down his head and began to
paw the earth, ready to charged.
So you want to fight ! Youll be sorry ! exclaimed the colt. And he
reared back, anxious to accept the challenge of the ox.
Suddenly , he colt saw several vultures, circling overhead, waiting for
the kill.
The colt brought his feet down to the ground and said to the ox, I do
believe, Sir, that weve overlooked a fundamental fact here. It appears that
there may be room enough for both of us to drink here at the same time .
I think friend, you may be correct, replied the ox. Then as he looked
toward the waterhole, he added, Yes, in fact, Im sure you are right .
And so they drank at the waterhole together. Later as they went their
separate ways, the vultures flew away.

Nasreddin was a good farmer. He had a large garden and many
donkeys. But Nasreddin was always foolish. Nasredin used to work in his
garden helped by his son, Simon. They worked hard everyday. They never
went to the market which was four miles away from their village, while the
other villagers often did.
One day Nasreddin said to Simon, A lot of people go to the market
when the day comes, but we never go. Simon replied, You are right, and we
should go too.
But we dont have money.
We can sell our biggest donkey to buy food and drink in the market.
When the market day came, Nasreddin and Simon with their biggest
donkey went to the market. Nasreddin led the donkey and Simon followed
them.
When they were walking, a villager greeted them with smile, Poor
Nasreddin, donkey is for riding, why do you walk? Ride on your
donkey!Nasreddin nodded and soon he rode on his donkey while Simon
was walking behind them.
After half a mile walking, another villager said, Why are you riding on
your donkey while your son is walking ?He is now too tired. Hearing this,
Nasreddin offered Simon to sit behind him on the donkey back. They were so
heavy that it was difficult to walk.
A man by the road asked Nasreddin,Are you going to the
market ?Nasreddin replied, It is true, we are going to sell our donkey for
money . The man commented,You are too heavy for your donkey, he will get
tired, ill and die before you reach the market.
Soon, Nasreddin and Simon climbed down the donkey. They wanted
their donkey healthy and fat to sell. They carried their donkey on their
shoulders. When they reached the market, everybody got surprised and
suddenly someone asked,Is your donkey ill, Nasreddin? No, it is not, it is
healthy, said Nasreddin angrily.But why are you carrying it on your
shoulders, people usually ride on their donkeys, said the other. We want it
fatter and become more expensive, Nasreddin replied.
Another man interrupted,Your donkey must be ill, it cant walk, we
dont want to buy it.This man shouted with a smile,Hi everbody, look!,
Nasreddin wants to sell his sick donkey expensively. All visitors laughed at
Nasreddin.

Once upon a time the colors of the world started to quarrel. All claimed
that they were the best, the most important, the most useful and the most
favorite.
Green said, Clearly Iam the most important. Iam the sign of life and of
hope. I was chosen for grass, trees and leaves. Without me, all animals would
die. Look all over the countryside and you will see that Iam in the majority.
Blue interrupted,You only think about the earth, but consider the sky
and the sea. It is the water that is the source of life and drawn up by the clouds
from the deep sea. The sky gives space and peace and serenity. Without my
peace, you would all be nothing.
Yellow chuckled, You are all so serious. I bring laughter, cheerfulness
and warmth into the world. The sun is yellow, the moon is yellow and the stars
are yellow. Every time you look at a sunflower, the whole world starts to smile.
Without me there would be no fun.
Orange started next to blow her trumpet, Iam the color of health and
strength. I may be scarce , but Iam precious for I serve the needs of human
life. I carry the most important vitamins. Think of carrots, pumpkins, oranges,
mangoes and papayas. I dont hang around all the time, but when I fill the sky
at sunrise or sunset, my beauty is so striking that no one gives another
thought to any of you.
Red could stand it no longer so he shouted out, Iam the ruler of all of
you. Iam blood- lifes blood ! Iam the color of danger and of bravery. Iam
willing to fight for a cause. I bring fire into the blood. Without me, the earth
would be as empty as the moon. Iam the color of passion and of love, the red
rose, the poinsettia and the poppy.
Purple rose up to his full height. He was very tall and spoke with great
pomp, I am the color of royalty and power. Kings, chiefs and bishops have
always chosen for me for Iam the sign of authority and wisdom. People do not
question me ! They listen and obey .
Finally, Indigo spoke, much more quietly than all the others, but with
just as much determination, Think of me. Iam the color of silence. You hardly
notice me, but without me you all become superficial. I represent thought and
reflection, twilight and deep water. You need me for balance and contrast , for
prayer and inner peace.
And so the colors went on boasting, each convinced of his or her own
superiority. Their quarrelling became louder and louder. Suddenly, there was a
startling flash of bright lightening thunder rolled and boomed. Rain started to
pour down relentlessly.The colors crouched down in fear, drawing close to
one another for comfort.
In the middle of the dispute, rain began to speak, You foolish colors,
fighting amongst yourselves, each trying to dominate the rest. Dont you know
that you were each made for a special purpose, unique and different ? Join
hands with one another and come to me.
Doing as they were told, the colors united and joined hands. The rain
continued, From now on, when it rains, each of you will stretch across the
sky in a great bow of color as a reminder that you can all live in peace. The
rainbow is a sign of hope for tomorrow.
And so, whenever a good rain washes the world, and a rainbow appears
in the sky, let us remember to appreciate one another.
