Guest guest Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 Once a man entered a wood and saw a small animal on a tree. He came back and told another man that he had seen a creature of a beautiful red colour on a certain tree. The Second man replied: "When I went into the wood, I also saw that animal. But why do you call it red? It is green." Another man who was present contradicted them both and insisted that it was yellow. Presently others arrivd and contended that it was grey, violet, blue and so forth and so on. At last they started quarrelling among themselves. To settle the dispute they all went to the tree. They saw a man sitting under it. On being asked, he replied :"Yes. I live under this tree and I know the animal very well. All your descriptions are true. Sometimes it appears red, sometimes yellow, and other times blue, violet, grey and so forth. It is a Chameleion. And sometimes it has no colour at all. Now it has a colour and not it has none Sri Ramakrishna tells stories Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
