Haste Makes Waste
Haste Makes Waste
A woman had a pet mongoose. It was very
faithful. One day she went to the market, leaving
her baby in the care of the mongoose.
At that time a big cobra entered the house. The
mongoose killed it after a long and fierce fight.
When the woman came back she saw the
mongoose lying at the entrance. She noticed its
blood-covered mouth.
In her haste the woman thought that the
mongoose had killed her baby. In a moment of
sudden fury, the woman threw the water pot on
the mongoose and killed it.
Alas! When she entered the house she was filled
with remorse. Her baby was playing cheerfully.
Nearby a big cobra lay dead. The woman shed
tears of grief fondling the carcass of the
mongoose.
MORAL : Do not act in haste.
