Question

A story which brings out the truth of saying " a bird in hand is worth two in the bush"

Answer 1

Sunil was ambitious. He was promoted to Vice President recently. His friend Kishore on the other hand bagged the President position. Passed out in the same year, both of them were good friends, and Kishore always saved Sunil's back, both professionally and personally.

As the saying goes:" There's enough for everyone's need, not for everyone' greed". Bureaucracy and Politics ate away  Kishore's job, and was replaced by none other than Sunil.

Some month's later a scrutiny made by the vigilance department accused Sunil of corruption and he was sacked.

The same night Sunil was depressed and sat back home thinking, while a colleague visited him informing that he was on the list of the vigilance department since months, and it was Kishore who was actually logged in to check the inquiry from taking place.

In the process of greed and acquiring which did not belong to him, he was snatched of the rightful position that he had got by his effort. So, risking security in greed of something better may lead to loss of one's self.

Answer 2

Answer:

Story : The Greedy Dog

Once a dog found a piece of bone. He was walking with the bone in his mouth looking for a nice place to eat the bone. Soon he reached a river bridge. While walking across the bridge, he looked down in the water and saw his own reflection. He thought that it was another dog with a bone. He immediately jumped into the river to get what he thought was another bone. In the process he lost his own bone.

Moral : A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. We should be satisfied with what is already in our possession because while trying to get something which we think is better, we may lose everything.
