One
day a fox, while roaming for food, saw a boar sharpening his tusks rubbing it
against a tree. The fox panned the area and found no imminent danger. There was
no wild animal around and nor were any humans. “Why are you sharpening your
tusks boar? I see no danger around us”, inquired the fox nearing the boar.
“Well
I see no danger as well fox”, replied the boar, “but who knows what the next
moment will bring upon us”. He continued sharpening his tusks and said, “It is
not possible to dig a well when the fire breaks out. In a forest enemy lurks everywhere and you don’t suppose me to sharpen my tusk when I am about to be killed, do you? It is better to be prepared than to run havoc at the face of danger” he concluded and seeing that his tusks are ready for combat, prodded away into the forest.
It
is always wise to keep oneself polished and ready to perform at every stage.
Though the story speaks of mortal dangers, in a human society we should always
be careful of unexpected situations. To face them we are to be all-time ready
in looks, character and in wits.
