27. A Famous Idol Maker

A Famous Idol Maker

Once upon a time, there was an idol maker who lived in a village near a town. He was a hard-working man. He was famous for making statues. He used to make the statues from the core of his heart. He used to make the idol very nicely. This is why the people of the urban and rural gave him many orders for making idols.

One day he was going to deliver an idol to his richest customer. He had a donkey of his own with him. The donkey was loaded with idols. The idol was of a goddess. The idol of the goddess was very nice to look at. So the people of the road bowed to him to show respect to the goddess. Seeing this the donkey thought that all their admiration is for him. That is why the donkey stopped and bray loudly to gain more attention. The master, the idol maker became very angry with the donkey and beat the donkey with his stick. After that, the stupid donkey realized her position and began to walk faster than before.

Lastly, we have learned from the story that  " A nod for wise and a rod for a fool"
