Fairy and The Mouse

Beautiful story read from a children's book...

Once a grey mouse lived in fear of an old cat. The mouse fervently wished that he was a cat. A fairy,so the story goes heard his wish and transformed him into a grey cat. Unfortunately, because he was a cat a dog began to chase him and he found himself once again filled with fear and wished to be a dog. The fairy hearing his second wish orchestrated the shift and so the cat became a dog. 
But as the story goes lions are attracted to dogs and the newly transformed dog found something new to b afraid of. "Please turn me into a strong lion" he begged of the fairy.
Again the fairy apparently something of a push over granted the request and turned Him into a lion. Unfortunately it was soon hunting season and a man tried to shoot him. Once more he ran to the fairy.
"What now?" she asked..
"Make me into a man dear fairy" he pleaded,"Then no one can make me afraid".
"Make you into a man!" Cried the fairy.
" No indeed I will not. A man must have a brave heart. You have only the heart of a mouse, so a mouse u shall become again, and a mouse u shall stay."
....Instantly he became a little grey mouse again.

Here in a nut shell ...it's all about our attitude towards life ,our attitude towards life defines our life..having courage...is a quality of Heart. When we r ready to face our fears we get rid of them, and when we avoid confronting our fear by hiding behind our excuses, it consumes us. Where as Courage is the ability and willingness to confront fear, pain, danger, uncertainty, or intimidation...
Be a mouse with a heart of a lion or be a lion with a heart of a mouse...ur choices ur life..
