What is LIFE ?
Once a passenger was on his way to his destination by a forest route. Suddenly a wild elephant attacked him and almost swooped with his feet raised.
Seeing no way of rescue, he hanged himself on the trunk of a banyan tree in his reach, the tip of which was swinging on the pond.
When I was looking here and there to save my life, I saw his eyes under the branch, and there I saw a sudden death.
The gigantic crocodile was waiting for the traveller to fall from the tree.
Fear – stunned eyes went up the tree and saw a honeycomb hanging and dripping honey from it.
Water came in his mouth. For a few moments, he forgot the fear. He dripped open his face towards the drop of honey. He tasted honey for a while.
But what is this! The thin twig of the tree, which he is holding, is hung by a white and black rat. Thus the twig was about to break in a short time.
In this story he was the elephant depicted as time, the crocodile was death, honey was life, black and white rat were day and night.
