Author: Aesop
A heron was leisurely strolling along the bank of a stream,
his eyes fixed on the crystal-clear water, and his long neck and pointed bill
poised to snag a potential breakfast morsel. However, Master Heron was
difficult to please that morning despite the abundance of fish in the clear
water.
No small fry for me, he declared. Such meager food is
inappropriate for a heron. ".
Now a beautiful young perch swam close by.
The Heron answered, "No, indeed.
"I wouldn't even bother to open my beak for anything
like that!".
The fish moved away from the shore's shallow water as the
sun rose and dove down into the middle's chilly depths. The Heron was relieved
to finally eat breakfast on a tiny snail after failing to see any more fish.
Be careful not to be too demanding or you might end up
having to settle for nothing or the worst.lling along the bank of a stream,
