Re:The Elephant Who Lost An Eye !

[Guest guest]

An elephant came to the edge of a stream of clearrushing water. Being thirsty, the elephant leaned over, dropped itstrunk into the cool water and... plunk! "What? What happened?" the elephant cried. "Ican't see! My eye... it fell in the water! Oh nooooooh," the elephantwailed in a panic, "I lost my eye!"And, in fact, the elephant's right eye had poppedout of its socket and fallen into the stream. The elephantsearched frantically for the eye, groping with its trunk along the bottomof the stream. The more he groped, the cloudier the water became.That made himpanic even more, and he started churning up great piles ofsand, until he couldn't see anything.Then the elephant heard the sound of laughing.Furious, he looked around to see who it was, and saw a littlegreen frog sitting on a log, laughing and laughing. "You think this is funny?" the elephant

shouted."I lose an eye and that makes you laugh?""What's funny is to see how upset you are. Calmdown and everythingwill be fine," the frog replied.The elephant felt a little ashamed and took thefrog's advice. He stopped moving his trunk around, and soon thewater became cleareras the sand sank to the bottom. And there in thestream lay his eye. He reached for it with his trunk and popped it backinto its socket. And then he thanked the frog............. ......... ......... ......... ......... ......... ......... ...This simple parable contains great wisdom. There'snothing funny about losing an eye... the sudden panic, thrashingaround in murkywater, desperation. .. that's exactly what happens to uswhen we lose controland panic. Our haste makes us blind. We become temporarily incapable of seeing theworld around us objectively and

rationally. But there is an antidoteto panic: wait. Wait until the situation becomes clear and the blackclouds disperse.Haste makes waste; Waste makes worry; So do not be in a hurry.
