The Jackal Between Two Rams
Two big rams were butting heads in a field. Bang! Bang! went their horns.
A hungry jackal watched from the side. He saw grains of food fall on the grass between them.
"I will just slip in and take a bite," he thought.
He darted between the two rams at exactly the wrong moment.
Bump! He was knocked head over heels and rolled all the way to the fence.
The jackal limped home and decided never to walk into someone else's fight again.
Do not step into a quarrel that has nothing to do with you.
