THE MALCONTENT BOVINE
===========================
Once an opulent peasant had a pair of sturdy oxen.One was named'Big Red Ox' and the other who was a tad younger,'Little Red Ox.'
The two were real brothers.The peasant made them toil and moil from dawn to dusk in his field.They had to lug the plow and do other related works.In return for their services,they received only straw and dry grass to chow down.
The farmer had a beautiful young daughter of marriageable age.Her marriage was settled and she was to tie the nuptial knot with the son of a croesus,a resident of a nearby town.To kill the fatted calf for the celebration of the wedding and entertain the wedding guests,the peasant copped a pig,which he fed on healthy and scrumptious viands in order to fatten it.
Seeing the swine being so nicely treated,Little Red Ox one day whimpered to his brother:
"Respected brother,do you observe how the peasant pampers the pig and fleeces us ruthlessly?The bloody hog does nothing,yet he is given the 'creme de la cr'me'victuals to chomp on.We labor the whole day without any grudge but the master offers us only straw and dry grass to masticate."
"Oh,calm down.don't envy that hog.His situation is not at all enviable.He will be slaughtered very shortly to feed those wedding guests.The luscious cates it receives are being given with an ulterior motive."consoled Big Red Ox.
However, Little Red Ox was not mollified.He continued to sizzle with anguish and envy.
Then one day he was aghast to see the hapless and helpless pig yanked out and ruthlessly butchered.He realised the truth that in spite of poor vittles he received,his situation was far far better.

MORAL----Better to chew plain fare and live long,than gobble up grand fare and get butchered.
