Once, a bull was very proud of his strength. He boasted, “No one can beat me, for I am the strongest of all!” A mouse heard this. One day, as the bull was going, the mouse came and bit him. The bull was very angry. He tried to catch the mouse, but the mouse hid inside his hole. The bull dug the hole with his horns but could not find the mouse. Soon, he was tired and went off to sleep outside the mouse’s hole. The mouse slowly came out of his hole. He bit the bull again, and then, ran back inside the hole. The bull woke up in pain. He looked for the mouse but again could not find him. He was very dejected. Just then, from inside the hole, the mouse shouted, “O mighty Bull! The strong do not always win. The weak can also win!”
Moral: Do not be proud of your strength.
The Proud Bull
