One day, the donkey said to the tiger, “The grass is blue.” The tiger quickly and confidently replied, “No. The grass is green.” The donkey continued to insist that this was not true, and that he knew better. “The grass is blue!”, he shouted! The conversation quickly became heated, and then the two decided that it would be advantageous to consult someone to find out which of them was right. 

They decided that the best animal to go to would be the lion, the King of the Jungle. 

Arriving at the Lion's feet, the donkey immediately began to talk loudly: “Your Majesty... Your Majesty! Is it true that the grass is blue?” And the King replied immediately: “Yes. The grass is blue.” The donkey shouted even louder and exclaimed in a loud voice: “That tiger disagrees with me, Your Majesty. And that bothers me. Please punish him.” And the King declared: “The tiger will be punished with five years of silence.”



The donkey ran off, jumping for joy at his victory. 

The tiger accepted his punishment, but before leaving, he asked His Majesty: “My King, why did you punish me? The grass is green.” 

The lion replied after a few moments of silence, looking directly into the tiger's eyes: "Your punishment has nothing to do with the color of the grass. Your punishment is because I find it unacceptable that an animal as brave and intelligent as you should waste his time arguing with a donkey. And on top of all that, you also bother me with unimportant questions."

> ###### _Moral of the story_

The worst waste of time is arguing with a fool who doesn't care about the truth and is unwilling to listen to others or even change his mind. He is only concerned with being right and not losing his temper. 

Many people are blinded by their ego, or even their anger or resentment. They let these feelings speak louder than common sense or cordiality. And all they want and desire most is to be right, even though deep down they know they are wrong. 

Don't waste your time with them. 

I hope you enjoyed this fable. Fables and parables, despite often using simple language so that even a young child can understand the main message, are also full of great wisdom. Their sparse words and allegories lead us to think about our own lives and our attitudes towards various situations and difficulties in everyday life. 

I hope you enjoyed this little story. And try not to be the donkey in the story too often, or the tiger. Look at the situation from above, analyze it calmly, and if you feel that you will not be heard, or that the other side is not interested in your opinion, simply leave with peace in your heart.
