Story of a sage and a worm
Answers
Answer:
One day a sage was walking down the road when he saw a worm hurrying by.A sage looked down at the worm in surprise. "Where are you going in such an rush?” the sage asked the little worm. A worm looked over its shoulder fearfully. “I hear the rattle of chariots and the thunder of pounding hooves. I'll be crushed to death if I don't hurry and get out of the way. I don't want to exchange my happy life for death.”The sage said, "What happiness can you know as a worm? What do you know of the joys of taste and touch and smell and sight, or the joy of knowledge or the pleasure of dreams?” “O Sage, I enjoy my life as a worm. I enjoy things you don't and you enjoy things I don't. Just because I don't like things you like, it doesn't mean I'm not happy or that my life is meaningless. My life means a lot to me!" A sage bowed humbly. A worm had turned out to be wiser! 26.
