Narrated by Shimelash Bequele

There is one great saying in our country and that is, “There is a Lord that saves from a thrown spear, let alone something uttered against.”

Therefore, once upon a time, one fox which was very, very hungry, was praying before God to give her something to eat. And there was another sheep who saw a lion in the distance and prayed to God to save him from the mouth of the lion. And there was another donkey sleeping on the ground without looking to the Lord.

Now the fox saw the donkey and killed it. The lion saw the sheep and the lion ran after the sheep and on the way he saw the fox, starting to eat the donkey. Therefore the fox rushed off, fearing the lion and the lion ate the donkey and the sheep was saved from both.

And therefore the saying is proved here.

ጌታ ያድናል

በሽመላሽ በቀለ የተተረከ

በአገራችን አንድ እንዲህ የሚባል ትልቅ አባባል አለ “ጌታ እንኳን ከተወረወረ ቃል ከተወረወረ ጦርም ያድናል፡፡”

እናም ከእለታት አንድ ቀን አንዲት በጣም በጣም የተራበች ቀበሮ ጌታዋ የምትበላውን ነገር እንዲጥልላት ትፀልይ ነበር፡፡

አንድ በግ ደግሞ አንበሳ አይቶ ፈጣሪውን ከአንበሣው አፍ እንዲያድነው ይፀልይ ነበር፡፡ አንድ አህያ ደግሞ ፈጣሪውን ሣያይ ዝም ብሎ ተጋድሞ ነበር፡፡

ቀበሮውም አህያውን አይቶ ገደለው፡፡ አንበሣውም በጉን አይቶ በማሳደድ ላይ ሳለ ቀበሮው አህያውን መብላት ሲጀምር ይደርስበታል፡፡ ቀበሮውም አንበሣው እንዳይበላው ሲሸሽ አንበሣው አህያውን በላ፡፡ በዚህ አይነት በጉ ከሁለቱም አመለጠ፡፡

እናም አባባሉ እውነት ነው፡፡

For discussionለውይይት

The saying in the story is: "There is a Lord that saves from a thrown spear, let alone something uttered against." What do you think this saying means?
Both the sheep and the fox prayed, but the donkey did not look to the Lord. What do you think the story is trying to teach us by what happened to each of them?
The sheep was saved from the lion even though it could not run away or fight. How do you think the sheep felt when the lion stopped chasing it?
If you could give the donkey one piece of advice before the story happened, what would you tell it and why?
