One day, a Donkey and a Tiger got into an argument over the color of the grass.
“The grass is blue,” said the Donkey.
“That’s ridiculous,” replied the Tiger. “The grass is clearly green.”
When the argument grew more and more intense, they decided to find the Lion, King of the Jungle, to settle the debate.
When they approached the Lion, the Donkey exclaimed, “Your Highness, isn’t it true that the grass is blue?”
“Yes,” the Lion calmly answered, “The grass is blue.”
Not yet satisfied, the Donkey continued, “The Tiger disagrees and argues with me. You must punish him.”
The Lion nodded, “I will. The Tiger will be punished with a year of silence.”
The Donkey walked off into the jungle, celebrating his victory.
Before the Tiger turned to leave, he looked up at the Lion. “Your Highness, why have you punished me? After all, you must see the grass is clearly green.”
The Lion nodded, “Yes, of course the grass is green.”
“Then why am I being punished?” asked the Tiger.
“Because someone as wise as you should never waste time proving anything to a fool.”
Bye,
Shaina...
