Baby Peacock

 

































Before going out to find food for her family, Mother Peacock carefully instructed Baby Peacock to stay indoors and never wander outside the house. 

But no sooner had his mother gone that Baby Peacock forgot her good advice, and went out to play with his friends. 

The carefree young peacocks picked fruit from the bushes, drank water from the brook, romped happily on the green hillsides and had great fun together. But as you might guess, the hunters soon came along and caught the little runaways one and all.

Only then did Baby Peacock realize his mistake.  He sobbed his heart out and was truly sorry.  

But harm was already done.  It was too late for regrets! 

This story explains the old adage: Fish thats unsalted goes rotten and bad, 

Children who don't heed their mom or their dad Are spoiled for ever, Oh, isn't that sad! (thesoulandyou.blogspot.com - Source: Thư Viện Hoa Sen)
