Find a Friend

Find a Friend

Once in a small village, there lived a small goat named Goki. He is very mischievous goat. So, none of the goats in the village wanted to make friends with Goki. He got bored and he decided to make new friends. Goki walked towards the jungle. One old goat saw him and stopped, "Goki, do not go into the jungle! It will be dangerous to be there! Big animals are there!” Goki replied to the old goat that it will find a new friend and come back. The old goat was unable to stop him.

After walking in to the jungle, Goki saw a Giraffe eating leaves from the branch of a tall tree. Giraffe asked Goki, "Who are you? Why are you here? Goki replied, " I am Goki the goat, I am here to find a friend " Giraffe asked "Can I be your friend?" "No, you are so tall. You cannot be my friend", said Goki and walked away from the Giraffe.

Goki continued walking and found an elephant munching leaves. Elephant was asking the same question asked by Giraffe to Goki. When Goki replied that he has come to jungle to find a friend, Elephant asked if he can be Goki's friend. Goki replied "No, you are so big and fat, you cannot be my friend".

He kept going into the jungle; he saw a rabbit near a bush. The rabbit asked about Goki and he replied that he is looking for a friend. Rabbit also asked Goki, if he can be his friend. Goki said to the rabbit, “No! No! You are small and timid! You cannot be my friend!".

Goki kept walking and he found a fox. The fox also asked the same question to Goki and he replied that Goki came there to find a friend. Then the fox asked Goki, "Can I be your friend?” Goki thought for a second, “You are not so tall, not so fat, and not so small, you will be my friend". The fox said to Goki, “We became friends, let us celebrate with a party at my home. Then, I will show you green pastures. You can graze as much you want". Goki happily accepted and went along with the fox. The fox took Goki to his cave and ate him. The poor goat Goki lost his life by choosing a wrong friend.

Moral: Never decide your friends by appearances, decide your friends by their character.
