The Dog and the Oyster

The Dog and the Oyster

    A DOG, used to eating eggs, saw an Oyster and, opening his mouth to its widest extent, swallowed it down with the utmost relish, supposing it to be an egg. Soon afterwards suffering great pain in his stomach, he said, "I deserve all this torment, for my folly in thinking that everything round must be an egg."

Moral: They who act without sufficient thought, will often fall into unsuspected danger.

Reflection: “Think before you act” is a popular phrase. It should be applied by everyone. Be careful. There might be some consequences to your actions. I have this thing called “stupidity”. Sometimes, I act first before I think. Strike that, Most of the time I act first before I think? Why? I do it Because it’s easier to do stuff that way. But not thinking about your actions and its consequences makes the situation more complicated. Think. Think. Think.
