A young man wished to marry the farmer's beautiful daughter. He went to the farmer to ask his permission.
The farmer looked him over and said,
"Son,
go stand out in that field. I'm going to release three bulls, one at a
time. If you can catch the tail of any one of the three bulls, you can
marry my daughter."
The young man stood in the pasture awaiting the first bull.
The
barn door opened and out ran the biggest, meanest-looking bull he had
ever seen. He decided that one of the next bulls had to be a better
choice than this one, so he ran over to the side and let the bull pass
through the pasture out the back gate.
The barn door
opened again. Unbelievable. He had never seen anything so big and fierce
in his life. It stood pawing the ground, grunting, slinging slobber as
it eyed him. Whatever the next bull was like, it had to be a better
choice than this one. He ran to the fence and let the bull pass through
the pasture, out the back gate.
The door opened a third
time. A smile came across his face. This was the weakest, scrawniest
little bull he had ever seen. This one was his bull. As the bull came
running by, he positioned himself just right and jumped at just the
exact moment.
He grabbed… but the bull had no tail!
Moral:-Life
is full of opportunities. Some will be easy to take advantage of, some
will be difficult. But once we let them pass (often in hopes of
something better), those opportunities may never again be available. So
always grab the first opportunity.
