Once upon a time there lived a Brahmin in a small village. There was a jungle situated end of the village. Once the Brahmin was gifted a goat by his follower. As he started on his journey to home, three conman hatched a plan to take away the goat from him because the goat was very nice.
One of the conman approached him and said, “Why are you carrying a dog over your shoulder?” The Brahmin became angry and said “are you blind? This is a goat, not a dog”. Saying this, he continued his journey inside the jungle.
The second conman asked the Brahmin, “You seem to be a wise person. Why are you carrying a dead calf?” The Brahmin was furious and yelled at him, “How stupid can you be to think of a goat as a dead calf!” He was a bit confused but started walking further.
The third conman walked towards the Brahmin and said, “If I am not wrong then you are a priest. But why do you carry a donkey on your shoulder?” The Brahmin was completely bewildered. He thought that the goat was some kind of ghost who changed forms.
He got scared to such an extent that he threw the goat in the jungle and ran away. The three con men laughed at the Brahmin and took the goat for feast. Their plan had succeed!
Moral: Do not get carried away by what others say. Always believe in yourself and your instincts.
