We should help others in times of need
One early morning, an old brahmin was worshipping Sun god on the banks of a river. Suddenly, his eyes fell on a scorpion which was flowing with the strong current of the river. He felt pity on the scorpion. Holding the branch of a nearby tree, he went into the river and tried to pick up the scorpion. The scorpion bit him on his hand. It pained the brahmin a lot. When the brahmin tried to pick up the scorpion again, the same thing happened. It happened many times. A man who was watching all this asked the brahmin, “Why do you want to save it? It is its nature to bite people.” The brahmin replied, “And it should be the nature of a person to save others.”
Moral: We should help others in times of need.
