A wildebeest went down to the river for a drink and looked at his reflection in the river water. He admired and was so happy with his big, powerful, beautiful horns but was so sad and dissatisfied with his weak, ugly, skinny legs.
Suddenly, a lion approached him. The wildebeest was startled and ran as fast as he could. After just a few minutes, it was already far away from the lion. He continued to run fast, but when he got into the jungle, its horns were too big and caught in the tree branches, and he could not get himself out of it. After the wildebeest struggled for a while, the lion caught up with him.
At that moment, the wildebeest felt sorrow and pain because his ugly legs were saving him, but his beautiful horns were hurting him.
The moral:
Beautiful things aren't always valuable and valuable things aren't always beautiful. Therefore, we should first judge things not by how they look but how they can be valuable to us.
