Analyzes


Once lived a pious brahmin in a village who made his living by performing rituals and poojas.  Once day he was called by a rich land lord in that village to perform pooja.  The brahmin performed the pooja.  The Land lord was so happy with the performance that he gave a healthy cow to the brahmin as reward.

There were 3 rogues in the villages who were very lazy.  They never did any work and always cheated others for their living.  They saw the brahmin walking back to his house along with the cow.  They wanted the cow for themselves so that they can sell it to somebody and get easy money.

So they made a plan.  One of the 3 thugs ran towards the brahmin and asked the brahmin,  "Oh pious man why are you talking this donkey with you.  You are a brahmin and only washermen use donkeys."

This annoyed the brahmin but he just ignored the rogue and walked without bothering to answer him.

After sometimes another rogue ran towards the brahmin and asked him why he was pulling a pig along with him.  The brahmin was shocked but continued to walk towards his house.

After sometimes the last of the 3 thugs walked towards him and asked the brahmin, "Why are you pulling a wild animal with you.  Its too dangerous to make friendship with wild animals because they can hurt you."

At this point the brahmin got totally confused.  He thought the cow he was given as gift was actually some devil animal which change form every now and then.  He got so scared that he left the cow and ran away from there.  

Because of the brahmins foolishness the 3 thugs succeeded in their scheme, and the poor brahmin had to loose his cow.

Moral of the Story:  NEVER BELIEVE ANYTHING YOU SEE, HEAR WITHOUT ANALYZING IT PROPERLY.

  2. Narayanan,
    Vadiyar in the proverb you have mentioned means a teacher, not a brahmin.
