The Wolf and the Lion

Roaming by the mountainside at sundown, a Wolf saw his own shadow become greatly extended and magnified, and he said to himself, “Why should I, being of such an immense size and extending nearly an acre in length, be afraid of the Lion? Ought I not to be acknowledged as King of all the collected beasts?’ While he was indulging in these proud thoughts, a Lion fell upon him and killed him. 

Moral: Overestimating self might be destructive.

-Aesop's fable

मधुशाला

मुसलमान औ' हिन्दू है दो, एक मगर उनका प्याला, 

एक मगर उनका मदिरालय, एक मगर उनकी हाला, 

दोनों रहते एक न जब तक मस्जिद मन्दिर में जाते, 

बैर बढ़ाते मस्जिद मन्दिर मेल कराती मधुशाला!

- हरिवंश राय बच्चन
