The Monkey and the Fish

 

A monkey saw a fish in the river that looked like it was struggling.

The monkey thought, "Oh no! It must be drowning! I have to save it!"

So, he pulled the fish out of the water and placed it on the dry land.

The fish immediately began to gasp and flop, and then it lay still.

The monkey clapped his hands, feeling proud and happy that he had helped the fish.

An old tortoise nearby said, "Your heart was good, but you made a mistake. You thought you saved the fish, but you actually killed it. The fish needed the water to live."

The monkey's heart sank.

The tortoise finished by saying, "True help isn't what makes you feel good; it's what the other person truly needs."

Simple Lesson

A good heart is not enough. Good intentions without knowing what to do can cause more harm than being hateful.

Always pause a little and think before you act on a situation.
