A dog was so faithful
that the woman could
leave her baby with it and go out to attend
other matters. She always returned to find
the child soundly asleep
with the dog faithfully
watching over him.
One day something tragic
happened. The
woman as usual, left the
baby in the "hands"
of this faithful dog and
went out shopping.
When she returned, she
discovered rather a nasty scene, there was a
total mess. The
baby's cot was
dismantled,
his nappies &
clothes torn to
shreds with blood stains
all over the
bedroom where she left
the child & the dog.
Shocked, the woman
wailed as she began
looking for the baby.
All of a sudden, she saw
the faithful dog
emerging from under the
bed. It was covered
with blood and licking it's
mouth as if it had just
finished a delicious meal.
The woman got
angry and assumed that
the dog had devoured her
baby.
Without much thought
she beat the dog with
a wood to death. But as
she continued
searching for
the"remains" of her child,
she
beheld another scene.
Close to the bed was
the baby who, although
lying bare floor, was
safe & under the bed where the
body of a snake
was torn to pieces in what had been a fierce battle between the snake
and the dog which was
now dead.
Then reality dawned on d
woman who now
began to understand
what took place in her
absence. The dog fought
to protect the baby
from the ravenous
snake.
It was too late for her
now to make amends
because in her impatience
and anger,she had
killed the faithful dog.
How often have we misjudged people and torn
them to shreds with harsh words and deeds
before we have had time to evaluate the situation?.
This is called
SIN OF PRESUMPTION
Presuming things our way without taking the
trouble to find out
exactly what the
situation
really is.
Little patience
can drastically reduce
major life long mistakes.
Who Are You
misjudging right now?.
Don't think what you think others are thinking,
Take time to get the whole truth
