All That Glitters is Not Gold

ALL THAT GLITTERS IS NOT GOLD

DO NOT FIND FAULT WITH THE WAYS OF GOD

Once a stag was drinking water at a pool. He saw his reflection in the water of the pool. He was greatly pleased to see his beautiful horns and began to admire them. But suddenly he caught sight of his thin and ugly legs. He felt sad to see them. He said to himself, "How unlucky I am to have such thin and ugly legs! Would that my legs were as beautiful as my horns!" As he stood there thinking sadly, he saw some hounds coming towards him. He ran to save his life. His nimble legs, which he hated so much, carried him away the hounds. Unfortunately his horns were caught in bushes. He tried his best to free himself but failed. He stood helpless cursing his horns. In the meantime the hounds came up and killed him.
