The wise man and the tiger
One day a man is taking a walk on a high plateau. Suddenly, he hears a snarling tiger in the distance that is obviously coming towards him. In order to get away from the animal, he runs as quickly as he can, but he runs straight to an abyss.
The tiger continues to get closer. In his distress the man pushes himself to the furthest edge and in doing this he starts to slide. At the last moment he just manages to hold on to a root. There is, however, no escape for him; the tiger is above him and the abyss below. All escape routes are blocked. Here he catches sight of a wild strawberry. He picks it, puts it in his mouth and murmurs: “How delicious, this strawberry.”

Live for the moment – life is precious
