In a small cottage near a lush forest lived a farmer named Kavin. He shared his life with a loyal dog named Bruno, who was more like a family member than a pet. Kavin had a tiny baby daughter whom he loved dearly. One afternoon, while Kavin was busy tending to his crops in the distant field, the house was quiet.
Suddenly, a hungry wild fox crept through the open window, eyeing the baby's cradle. Bruno, who had been dozing nearby, sensed the danger instantly. He sprang into action, barking fiercely to scare the intruder and biting the fox to drive it away. After a brief struggle, the fox fled into the woods, leaving traces of blood on the floor and on Bruno's snout.
When Kavin returned home, he saw Bruno standing near the door with red stains all over his face. In a moment of blind panic and rage, Kavin thought, 'Has this beast harmed my child?' Without waiting to see what had happened, he grabbed a heavy wooden staff and struck Bruno in anger.
Heartbroken, Kavin rushed into the nursery to check on his daughter. To his immense relief, the baby was sleeping peacefully in her cradle. He then noticed the scratches on the floor and the fox's fur near the window. He realized that Bruno hadn't hurt the baby; he had fought to protect her. Kavin fell to his knees, weeping in regret for his impulsive and cruel action against his most faithful friend.
Moral
Never act in haste; anger often blinds us to the truth.
