A male monkey saw a thick syrup under a tree. The syrup looked very attractive to consume. The Monkey saw more drops of the syrup falling from a branch of the tree and salivates uncontrollably. He thought, ‘Oh! That must be honey!’
The Monkey looked up. He saw high above him, a hive. He also saw that the Bees were buzzing and working together to make the honey.
He wished that he could climb up, break off a piece of the hive, chew it and enjoy the fresh honey! But he couldn't move at all after he sadly remembered, the last incident of what happened to his face, Just when he tried to steal honey from the hive as the angry Bees had stung him! It was so painful!’
He sighed continuously over this!
He saw a Bee flying up to the hive and was looking at him. The Monkey asked the Bee, “Why are you staring at me that way, you wicked tiny bee, you have such a gift to make such a sweet wonderful liquid , and at the same time, carry such a horribly painful sting”
The Bee shrugged and said, “Oh Yea! what do you expect. you know our good work tastes sweet; but you must also know that when someone tries to steal it, our anger can be just as bitter! because it cost us something”
Moral;
No free lunch in life.
Nothing good comes easily, there's always a cost attached to it. so be ready to pay the prize.
If you learn from your mistakes, you will not get hurt again.
