Taking Refuge of The Great


Here is a story for children:
Taking Refuge of The Great
Once, lost in a dense jungle, a lonely goat, hungry and frightened, sat shivering beside a lion’s pugmark. Pugmark is the footprint of an animal on the ground. To the wolf and all the wild animals who threatened to kill her, she declared that this footprint was her protector. Unaware of what or who a lion is , the little goat’s faith felt his power when all other animals fled at the sight of pugmark. Finally, the lion arrived. Pleased by her faith in his footprint, he promised to protect her. He summoned an elephant and ordered him to seat the goat on his back and carry her home with great honor and respect  while she merrily chewed on soft green leaves.
The moral of this story is : By taking refuge of the Great, even the meek and weak attain greatness.
