The Dove and the Crow

Some Dogs, famished with hunger, saw some cow-hides steeping in a river. Not being able to reach them, they agreed to drink up the river; but it fell out that they burst themselves with drinking long before A Dove shut up in a cage was boasting of the large number of the young ones which she had hatched. A Crow, hearing her, said: "My good friend, cease from this unreasonable boasting. The larger the number of your family, the greater your cause of sorrow, in seeing them shut up in this prison-house." Moral: To enjoy our blessings we must have freedom.

Reflection:
We need to have freedom to enjoy our life fully. Just like the story, the dove is boasting that she has many chitterlings but the more of them in one small cage the greater the sorrow they get. But if they had freedom they will really enjoy it.
