                      PRIDE GOES BEFORE A FALL
                     xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 Once upon a time there lived a man who was most conceited and haughty.He was as grandiloquent as a lucifer.He considered himself to be sagacious,wise and intelligent and thought that people felt him to be so.
  One day as he was trudging along a street,he came to a spot where two rams were locked in a fierce duel.In the course of fighting, one ram was knocked down by the stronger one.It plumped down near the man's feet.Immediately the man thought:
 'This ram realises how great I am.So he is paying his respects to me and seeks me to vivify him with my blessings so that he may make his opponent lick the dust in the fight.'
     Now,this spectacle was observed by a merchant who was sitting in his shop across the street.
   "Be careful,my friend!",warned the merchant,"The beast is dangerous.When a ram slumps down in a battle,it means he is preparing for a greater attack."
  But the conceited fellow turned a deaf ear to the warning.And before he knew it,the ferocious ram had risen.It came at him full force.Badly battered and deadly injured,the man fell down on. the ground.As he lay dying,he realised his mulishness.He whimpered to himself:
 "FOR MY FOOLISH CONCEIT
    MY DEATH I NOW MUST MEET"
