Greedy Lion, Hare and a deer story

Once upon a time there lived a lion in a dense forest. It was a hot summer day. The lion was feeling very hungry during the hot time. He came out of his den and searched here and there for food. He was not able to found any food for a long time. 

After a long wait he could find only a small hare. He caught the hare with some hesitation. This hare cannot fill my tummy, thought the lion.

As the lion was about to kill the hare, a deer ran that way. The lion became greedy. He thought, “Instead of eating this small hare let me eat the big deer”. He let the hare go and went behind the deer. But, the deer had vanished into the forest. The lion now felt sorry for letting the hare off.

Moral: Nothing is better than something.
