- The Ungrateful Human Being

One day, a man climbed up a tree.

All of a sudden, a strong wind started to blow when he was on one of the top branches.

He was so scared that he felt his heart in his mouth. He raised his head to the sky and prayed: "Oh great God, I promise to sacrifice all my sheep for your cause if I can safely climb down this tree."

"Oh, it seems the wind is not blowing so hard anymore! I think it would be all right, God, if I have away my sheeps wool for Your cause. Oh, it seems that the wind is becoming weaker and weaker... God, I shall give away their whey if I reach the ground safe and sound.

"Oh... That wild wind has turned into a breeze now and I've reached the ground quite safely."

"What was I saying... Sheep, wool, whey? What whey? What wool? Who will lose them all? A fool?"
