RAJAH AND THE SNAKE – A FABLE
Long ago in a far-away kingdom, a wise Old Rajah lived with his devoted family.
Old Rajah was elderly and knew his time, his life, was drawing to a close.
He summoned his son Young Rajah, who would become the next Rajah of the Kingdom.
Young Rajah also knew he would soon be the next Rajah of the Kingdom. Over many years, Old Rajah had been passing on his kindness, compassion and understanding but most of all, his wisdom to the soon-to-be young head of the Kingdom, his son.
Young Rajah looked forward to gaining deeper wisdom that age can provide. He was also looking forward to sharing his own compassion and kindness throughout the realm.
Young Rajah had learned much from his father as he shared some of his life lessons. One lesson was: ‘Wisdom, is better learned if it is experienced. Experience must be lived’.
