Listening Task 2
THE PROUD LAMP
Once upon a time, a lady bought a new lamp from the
market. When she reached home, it was dark. So she
filled the lamp with oil and put a wick into it to light it. It began to shine with a clear steady light.
The lamp felt proud of itself and its clear light .It said
'Oh how brightly I burn! How much light I spread!
I dazzle brighter than the sun'. It went on admiring itself thinking that everything else was dim in comparison with him.
Suddenly a strong puff of wind came and blew the lamp out. It realised that it was not
as mighty as it thought .It was only a small lamp it never knew that it could not face
the wind at all.
The lady lit the lamp once again. Now the lamp kept shining calmly showing no pride and making no bosts. It knew that it was not as strong as it had been thinking.
The lady said to the lamp,'Keep shining gently.Do not compare yourself to the sun.It never goes out, nor does it need to be lit again and again like you.' The lamp learnt its lesson.
