When a man was roaming in the forest, suddenly a hungry tiger rushed up to him with a roar. He immediately ran with the fastest speed he ever had in his life, but the tiger was chasing him so hard. He ran and ran all the way, and finally, there was nowhere to run, he was standing on the edge of the cliff, he thought quickly: Instead of being caught by a tiger, bitten, dismembered and die, it’s better to jump into the cliff, maybe there is still a glimmer of life.
He jumped into the cliff and was very lucky to get stuck on a plum tree, and it was full of plums. When he was rejoicing, he heard a huge roar from the depths of the cliff. Looking towards the bottom of the cliff, a fierce lion was looking up at him. It made him tremble, but then he thought: Even I will be killed by the lion, but it is not any worse than killed by that tiger, they are the same beasts.
When he was relieved, he heard another sound, after a closer look, two mice, one black and one white were biting the branches of the plum tree. He panicked for a while, then relieved soon, he thought: It’s better to die by falling from the broken branches than eaten and killed by the lion.
After he calmed down, he was a little hungry and picked some plums to eat. He felt that was the most delicious plums in his life. He found a triangular branch and thought: maybe he’s going to die sooner or later, but nothing he can do with that right there, why not take a good rest, let his luck to handle the parts he can’t help.
He fell asleep deeply on the stable triangular branch. After waking up, he found that the black and the white mouse,the tiger and the lion were gone. So he followed the branches and carefully climbed the cliff, finally he was out of danger.
when he was asleep, the hungry tiger couldn’t wait anymore, it roared and jumped off the cliff. The black and the white mouse heard that and ran away in a panic. The tiger fought fiercely with the lion under the cliff and they both escaped with injuries.
Sometimes the suffering in life is such like the hungry tiger in the story is chasing us crazy, alternating days and nights are like the white mouse and the black mouse are chewing the branches, finally, time will be gone and everything will be gone, yes, the death is like the lion in the bottom of the cliff is waiting for us, so why not just like the guy in the story knowing the worst thing forward but still enjoy the delicious plums and take a good rest, when he wakes up, what a surprise is waiting for him.
If you don’t like death then every present we are alive worth being cherished. When you give more respect to today then you will receive more surprises tomorrow.
