WISE COUNSEL ... THE FIGHT BETWEEN THE HIPPO AND THE ELEPHANT





1 PETER 03 ; 11

For, whoever would love life and good days, must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from deceitful speech.He must turn away from evil and do good; he must seek peace and pursue it.



            A story is told of a monkey who clapped it's hands as it watched the elephant and the hippo fighting. One of the legs of the hippo was eventually broken. After a while the owner of the animals brought in a medicine man to see to the leg of the hippo.

          The medicine man said he needed the veins of the monkey to prepare the medicine. When the monkey was caught and told the reason, it's sadly said, " I would have reconciled them if i had known the conflict would affect me


         But sadly it was too late for the monkey.




     MORAL LESSON

      Let us all be part of the positive solution.
     Every crisis you see or hear about, close or far away will one day  affect you too.
    
 Use your opportunities well. You may also cry one day if you don't help today.
