Analysis of The moral lesson.



The moral lesson.

Once a grandpa was sitting,
under the sun to get the warmth.
His grandson ran to him,
and nagged him to tell a story.

The grandpa asked him,
to sit beside him
and gave him a moral lesson.

The two wolves are always fighting,
in us to influence thoughts & activities.
One wolf in disguise of vicious qualities.
Another wolf in disguise of virtuous qualities.

The first wolf is cursed with,
dishonesty,cruelity,jealousy
but the second wolf is blessed with,
honesty,compassion,kindness.

When we are entertaining the first wolf,
our charecter changes into like it
but when we are entertaining the second,
our character changes into that.

Then the grandpa asked,
"which one would you like to entertain."
The grandson replied,
"The second wolf."

The Grandpa patted his grandson
and kissed on his forehead.
