The Cheetah and the Deer

Sam was a 9 years old boy. He loves animals. He always wished that he had extraordinary power to understand what animals speak. His uncle once said that sincere prayers are always answered by God. So, Sam started to pray everyday sincerly.

All of a sudden, on one fine day, God appeared before him. Sam was really excited. When God asked his wish, Sam said that he wanted to understand what animals speak. Sam was lucky enough to get what he wanted.

The next day, early in the morning, Sam went to the nearest forest. He saw a deer which was about to start its day. The deer prayed to God asking Him to provide enough strength and energy to run faster than it's predator, so that it can save it's life.

Then Sam moved on and found a Cheetah, which was getting ready for its day. He also saw the deer praying to God. In it's prayer, it asked God to provide enough strength and energy to run faster than it's prey, so that it can get it's food.

From the above, Sam understood the following messages and lived happily.

1. Whether you are a prey or predator you need to run.
2. And it is not enough to run, but one need to run faster
3. When you are idle, either you are killed by your predator or starve to death (if you are the predator)
