A RAT IN THE GRANARY, just a story....
This is an old story, may be known to many of you, I guess. If not, just read it on.
It's a short and simple story with a moral which my elders told us when we were young. A fact with may happen once or more in our life, unthoughtfully.

* There was a rat in a granary, that was happy in there for a long time. Feeding itself graciously, to its pleasure and satisfaction. One day, it peeped out of that granary In the sunlight, he noticed another structure on the other side the road.
Hummm!!, another granary!! I may try there too, it may have better grains.
May be various and more tasty. It may satisfy more my voracity.

So, the greedy rat, sneaked out and furtively to the edge of that road. Stealthy it crossed the road to where the other granary was and went into, but surprisingly he found nothing in there, of what he expected. Disappointed and discouraged, he ran out of that illusioned granary. Shamefully, he had to crossed back that road again to the previous one. And unexpectedly, an incoming vehicle hit and crashed it. So, The poor rat was unable to reach its erstwhile cache, its hidden treasure. It's voracity led it to its tragic demise. *

I hope the moral of this fable would be an intuition for one and for all.
May it serve us in a way or another in the future.
Thank you for your read. Have a joyous weekend.
Lisa.

 Yikes!! I do not like rats at all [filthy things]..... but I get the moral of your story.

Kind of...... Be careful what you wish for! ..... and .... The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.

 Hiya Tom,

Always pleased reading from you on my blogs. I had more or less guessed what would be your comments on this above fable of mine!!. Well, as you can see, the rat had ventured into something in which it wasn't sure of. Once it had enough to satisfy itself until its last breath, what was the use of seeking elsewhere?. " HE COULD HAVE FOUND......" was never a certainty but just a risk for its greediness. A risk which has costed it an iffy path.
As it is said: " A BIRD IN HAND WORTH MORE THAN HUNDRED IN THE AIR". Its search for more or better, has led it to an unbelievable... surprise.
Thank you again Tom, enjoy a wonderful weekend.

 Rockership my dear, hi,

Thank you for visiting my above blog and for understanding its meaningful moral. Me too, I don't like rats but it's just a story about it. Your above comments are have so much to understand too. Rocket my dear, once that rat has allowed the uncertainty and its stupidity reign, then it has just to accept the outcome. Thank so much again dear Rocket. May it be a matter of fact to ponder upon, to one and all. Have a happy weekend dear.
Lisa,
