Once, there was a bird flying across the country in search of greener pastures. During its flight, the bird felt thirsty. It flew high and low in the search of a place to quench its thirst.
Suddenly it saw a pool of water painted upon a sign and thought the water was for real. The bird dashed down at it with whatever energy left. In doing so, it struck the board, broke its wing and fell helpless to the ground.
Lying helpless, the bird was captured by a boy who happened to pass by. Thus, from this story we know that we should always be careful in our ways or trouble might befall. As the saying goes, great haste is not always good speed.
