Liu-Always-in-a-Hurry (MAPEL KLS II )

In China long ago, there was a farmer named
Liu. He was not a patient man. He was very
impatient. He was always in a hurry. He rushed
through breakfast. He rushed through lunch. He
rushed through his work. He wanted to be fi rst in
every thing. He didn’t worry about being careful in
his work. He just wanted to fi nish it quickly.
One day, Liu was in the village. Some farmers
were talking about their rice.
"My rice is doing very well,” said one farmer.
“It is almost three inches high.”
"My rice is already three inches high,” said
another farmer.
Liu hurried home. He measured his rice. The
plants were strong and healthy. But they were
only two inches high.

NARRATIVE

The Eagle and the Arrow

An Eagle was soaring through the air when suddenly it
heard the whizz of an Arrow, and felt itself wounded to
death. Slowly it fluttered down to the earth, with its lifeblood
pouring out of it. Looking down upon the Arrow
with which it had been pierced, it found that the shaft of
the Arrow had been feathered with one of its own plumes.
‘Alas!’ it cried, as it died.

MORAL MESSAGE
‘We often give our enemies the means for our own
destruction.’
