Motivating story of Lion King and Fox

The Motivating Story of Lion King and His Minister Fox who was foolish enough to invite death because by living with the Lion King he is also elevated to the same status as the Lion his Boss.


The King of the Jungle Lion
Once upon a time there lived a Lion. In his young days he was a powerful hunter. He was the King of the Jungle and all animals were afraid of him. He would kill any animal he found anywhere at any time. His reputation as a merciless killer travelled far and wide. Even other lions in nearby  forest would shiver when they hear him roar.


The Lion King is Growing Old
That was the old story. But now he was growing old and he was not able to hunt on his own. Nine of ten hunting attempts fails and he goes hungry for days. Old age and hunger was going to kill him. The animals were not getting scared and they have started ignoring the Lion Kings presence. This was more hurting to him than his hunger.


The Lion King Wants a Minister
The lion would lie around and keep thinking about how to earn his lost pride back. One day the Lion King gets an idea. He announces that he has a job opening. He needs a minister. The minister gets to stay in the Kings Palace Den and can eat on the same table with the King. What more, the lucky minister will be given a signed copy of a contract saying that his life will not be touched by the king as long as he stays the Kings Minister.


Ministerial Candidates Failing Interview was the Lion's Lunch

Many Carnivores applied for the post. Almost all the grass eaters however, did not even apply for the post as they thought it better to stay away from the King and in any case they cannot share a meal with the King. Most small animals who came for the interview into the palatial den became the Lion's lunch or dinner. Some were too small to be even a breakfast for him. There was a Fox who was secretly witnessing these interviews and was fully aware of what was happening. Finally, the cunning Fox sneaked in after a large carnivore had gone into the den to attend the interview and has not come out because the king had this ministerial candidate for lunch and he was not hungry anymore.


The Lion King Interviews the Fox
The interview was conducted smoothly. The Lion was impressed with all the answers the cunning fox gave. He thought for a while and said, I appoint you as my Prime Minister. If you want you can recruit more ministers for yourself. Here is your "No Eat Me" Contract. As long as you stay my minister, your life is safe.


The Fox Hunted with the Lion King
For the next few months the Minister would hunt alongside the King. The cunning fox had the job of fooling the animals into the trap where the Lion would wait and ambush. The king was having a gala time eating more than his share. The Fox was also happy eating the liberal leftovers of his King. Life was going on smoothly for both of them.


The Fox Thought He is Not Below the King of the Jungle
The animals in the jungle were now afraid of the Fox more than the Lion King because he would lead them into the trap where the Lion would kill them. The story had travelled far and all animals now stay away from the Fox. The foolish fox thought that they were afraid of him and of late had started behaving like the King. He had started equating his status same as the Lion King.


The Lion's Minister Tries to Kill an Elephant
One day, early in the morning, the foolish fox and the Lion King went on a hunt. The fox wanted to prove that he has learned all the tricks of hunting from the king and wanted to prove that he could also kill animals. An elephant was eating some leaves nearby. The Lion King usually avoided confronting elephants, but the foolish Fox ran towards the elephant, even before the Lion could stop him, and tried to kill the elephant by choking the elephant by biting its huge neck. The annoyed elephant pickedup the foolish fox and banged him on the ground. It was instant death for the Fox.

Motivating Story of a Three Idiots Gurudakshina

Motivating Story of Three Idiots

This is a Motivating Story of a Guru, his Gurukulam in the Jungle, his Three Idiot Shishya (Students) and their Guru Dakshina. Since this incident all Schools made it a rule that there will be an Exam to be Passed before you are admitted to the School.

The Forest Guru (Teacher) Gets Three Idiots as Shishya (Students)

The Guru had set up his Gurukulam (Old Indian School) deep in the forest. He used to spend hours meditating and Praying to God. The Gods became very impressed with the Guru and gave him powers.

The Forest Guru Trains the Three Idiots Students

The three idiots were the Guru's first batch of students who were actually ultimate creations of God, three absolute idiots. The three idiots did not learn any thing their whole life with their parents and that is when they heard about the Forest Guru and brought them to the Guru who they thought could tickle their brains to make them stop from doing stupidities.

The Forest Guru gets tired of the Three Idiots

Everyday the Guru made it a point to teach not more than one lesson, one trick or one event because he was told about their mental calibre by their own parents. The Guru had vowed to make them intelligent. He did everything possible humanly to make them learn. He did his best and at times even forgot his daily meditation and prayer regimes so that he could devote more time training his shishya, the three idiots. Finally after about a few months into the training the Forest Guru grew tired of the stupidites his shishya would do the moment his eyes are off them.

The Forest Guru Ends the Three Idiots Course.

The Guru could not take this any more and wanted to now get rid of the three idiots. His reputation was at stake with the very first batch of Shishya. He could not even imagine that. So many years of meditation and prayers to please thd Gods will go waste if he fails to make these three stupid idiots pass out of his jungle Gurukulam institution as intelligent students.

The Guru's Idea !  Throw out the Three Idiots.

The Guru thought for many days, day and night, when he was awake and when he was dreaming, how to get rid of the three idiots shishya. He just decided enough is enough and called his three shishya and said to them, "See my dear Shishya. All of you have done very well. You have learned all the tricks I taught you. All of you have excelled in every test I took. So I have decided that your course should pass out of the Gurukulam as there are no more syllabus left to be taught.

The Three Idiots wants to give Gurudakshina

On hearing the Guru's decision to pass out their course half way through, the three idiots became very happy as they could now go home from this god forbidden jungle where life was very boring and not much scope for doing much stupidities everyday. But that is when they thought about the customary Gurudakshina. (Gurudakshina is something special that the shishya offer their Guru before they go home, after they complete their jungle course. The Gurudakshina is something of a final test of what they have learned at the Gurukulam).

The Guru doesn't want Gurudakshina from the three Idiots.

The three idiots went to their Guru and asked him what he would like to have as Gurudakshina from them. The Guru makes it very clear that he doesnot want anything as Gurudakshina. He just told them to leave the Gurukulam happy. But the three idiots insisted on Gurudakshina.

The Guru asked his Gurudakshina fromt he Three Idiots.

The Guru finally agreed half heartedly and said to his three shishya. If you are so keen on offering Gurudakshina then just go and get me one needle. It will help me stich my torn cloth. The three idiots were very happy to hear that and went out searching for a needle.

The three Idiots finds a Needle and a Big Question

The three shishya went to the nearest village 50 km away on the outskirts of the jungle braving all the jungle animals like tigers, lions, elephants, snakes etc. In the village they were could find a needle and they started back on their 50 km journey to the Gurukulam. When they were half way through the jungle, one of the three idiots said, Hey who will offer the needle?

The Three Idiots Found a Solution to the Daunting Question.

They kept the needle aside and sat down to find a solution to this big question of how can one needle be offered by three shisya as Gurudakshina. They came up with a very novel idea. They identified a large wooden log and stuck the needle on top of the log. Now all three of them lifted the heavy log and started the rest of their journey to the Gurukulam energised only by their happiness of having found a great idea which they were eager to tell their Guru who should praise them for having used all the tips and tricks they had learned at the Gurukulam in solving such an big unanswerable problem.

The Guru Learned a Lesson from the Three Idiots?

The three idiots reached the Gurukulam totally tired and exhaused carrying the half a ton log with the small needle on it. But their spirits were very high. They. kept the log down in front of the Guru and announced. Hey Guru here is your Gurudakshina. The Guru said, I asked you for only a small needle not a wood to make a house. The three idiots were not listening to him. They were searching for the needle they had stuck on the log of wood which somehow was not on the log. It fell off some where long ago in the deep jungle. The Guru threw out the three idiots with all the bad words blurted out in the loudest possible manner with a warning to never return back to his Gurukulam. That day the Guru wrote the first rule in the prospectus of his Gurukulam that there will be a small test will be conducted on the students aspiring to join his Gurukulam. This rule written by this Guru, thousands of years back in a jungle Gurukulam, is being followed even today in all the schools and colleges world over.
