Those who know how to wait… win without fighting.
They say an old dog once wandered out to chase butterflies.
No rush. No destination.
He just wanted to feel life under his paws one more time.
But between play and daydreams, he got lost and a young, hungry leopard spotted him. The dog saw the danger but didn’t run. He didn’t have the strength. But what he did have… was wisdom.
Calmly, he sat down with his back turned, started chewing on some old bones he found nearby, and said loudly: "Mmm… that leopard I just ate was delicious. I wonder if there’s another one around?"
The young leopard froze in fear and ran away.
It wasn’t strength that saved the dog.
It was intelligence.
But the story doesn’t end there.
A monkey, who had watched the whole scene from a tree, decided to betray the dog. He ran after the leopard to reveal the truth, hoping to gain protection in return.
The dog, clever as ever, saw them coming: an angry leopard with the monkey riding on his back.
This time, the dog sat down again, calm as before, and muttered:
"Where is that monkey? I sent him to fetch me another leopard, and he is taking forever…"
The leopard screeched to a halt. Glanced at the monkey.
And this time, it was the monkey who had to run.
Moral of the story:
In life, it is not always the fastest who win. Not always the strongest. Sometimes... it is the one who waits, watches, and acts with wisdom.
Because age doesn’t take your power — it teaches you how to use it better.
