    PRESENCE  OF  MIND
@#$%^&*@#$%^&*@#$
 It can not be controverted that presence of mind in emergency can save a person from disaster as is evident from the following story----
   Once a donkey was happily grazing,humming his favourite song.As the ill luck would have it,he saw a ferocious wolf dashing towards him.A thrill of horror shimmied down his spine as he was in imminent danger of being devoured by the famished wolf.He was a clever donkey and he instantaneously thought of a trick to save himself.He started limping badly.The wolf came up and said,"Why do you limp? Are you lame?"
   The donkey responded," I,unfortunately, impaled my hind foot on a big thorn.It has stuck deep into my foot and is giving me intense pain.Would you be kind enough to pull it out?"
  The wolf felt himself to be on cloud nine.He chuckled to himself,"Now I shall be able to put his leg between my sharp teeth" As he came behind the donkey,he slugged so ferociously with his foot in the wolf's mouth that his jaw was badly wounded.The wolf scampered away yelping with intense pain.
Moral of the story:--It was his presence of mind that saved the donkey from certain death!!
