​---------- The Pet Lover ----------
James was a highly fashionable, sophisticated guy who loved to care for the animals. He bought dogs and cats of the highest breeds. He cared for them a lot that he spent so much of his time and money on them. He even built small but expensive houses for his pet dogs and cats. And he fed them with the highest quality pet foods anyone could find in the market. His pets made him happy and felt they make him a better person. But one thing he didn't realize was he became more unloving and unkind to his fellow humans. All his love and all his attention are already focused on his pets.
One Monday morning,
he heard a knock on the gate of his house. He was seated on the porch playing with his cats who have been very playful all around the house. So he stood up and went to see who was behind the gate. There outside was a poor man who immediately smiled at him the moment he opened. And seeing this filthy old man, he went mad and screamed at the top of his voice "Go away!" and shut the gate behind him. At that very moment, the poor man got teary eyed and his heart was broken. He stood to where he was a little while longer, then he left. He went to another house and begged again. Fortunately, the owner of the other house gave him some food and some coins. This made him happy, and thanked the owner of the house for being generous. Then he left with a great smile. Meanwhile, the pet lover went back to his pets and resumed playing with them. He laughed and laughed and he was very happy. He was overwhelmed with gladness every time he bonded with them. And that was all he cared about. One fine December morning, he got very sick. He had a high fever, and he couldn't move around much. He went to his doctor for treatment. But everyday he got sicker and weaker. He called some of his friends, but they were too busy to attend to him. Then he called his neighbors but still they didn't come to his aid. But all his pet dogs and cats gathered around him every time but he was not comforted at all. Nobody cared about him except his pets. And finally he died alone. ---------- Moral Of The Story ---------- It's good to care for the animals, but it's so much better if you care for your fellow humans first and foremost! ​
