The lion and the rat
The lion and the rat
Have no prejudice about people, situations...
An allegory that makes it clear.
It is said the lion king, and the rat... a lesser being.
Among the animals the rat is lesser seen as the lion, indeed
However,...
There was this lion trapped in a net.
The more he roared the more the net had a grip on him.
Came along this little rat, he once saved from the gap
Who one by one cut the mazes of the net with his sharp teeth
And ultimately the lion got freed.
Lesson of the story
Some times you better save a rat.
You never know who will come at your rescue later
To friendship. There are no little friends... only BIG ONES!

Rats are most amazing beings... any experience with them?
PS
Free translation of one of the fables of Jean de La Fontaine, a french writer.
Never ignore the lesser one, for they are all needed.
The power of the lion is his choice.
That of the rat, his skills.
Aren't they both awesome?

Excellent lesson. I have thought about this situation many times as I.changed jobs or moved to a new location. I've been in the navy, worked for the Forest Service and the State of.California. With all the co-workers I've had, I remember personalities, skill levels etc but I honestly don't remember and I don't notice skin color or any of that stuff. I was always more concerned with traits like how well they they got along with others and not always how well they performed but if they.did their best.
Animals look at us as friends and nurturers
Once we see that we can really communicate with them
🥰
Rats are very gentle and kind nature.
Extremely intelligent.
We have prejudice against them also...
😂 Are you sure...?
It is kind of projection of our fear
Rather unwanted... not nice having them snurkling around
Better have some of these

A great story.
Have you heard the one about the Lion , tiger and ass.
The Ass kept saying the sky is green and the tiger said , you are stupid , it is blue.
The Ass said let’s go to the king lion and see what he says.
So off they go, lol, can’t help myself, and see the Lion king.
The Ass says, lion the tiger says the sky is blue but it is green isn’t it. Please punish the tiger.
The Lion king says yes you are right and tiger you must not speak for a week.
The Ass walks away triumphant.
Tiger says, my lord, you know the sky is blue. Why did you punish me.
The lion said, I didn’t punish you for saying that the sky is blue, I punished you for listening to an Ass.
Lol.

I think we all have. There is a saying in Vietnam. Never shout at a barking dog. You just waste your time. Lol.

Hi Sami
Jean de La Fontaine was a great writer and poet.

Nice to gnaw you! Kindness is Love in action. If an action does not exhibit kindness, it will never exhibit love either.
Yes, there is a place for the Lion and the rat ; and the Lion and the lamb.
