Buddhist Story: The Donkey in the Cattle Herd. Cattle live peacefully, grazing and drinking on the grassland. Seeing this, a donkey envied them and tried to imitate them by joining the herd. However, unable to change its nature, the donkey disturbed the cattle by digging with its hooves and barking loudly. Ignoring the cattle's displeasure, the donkey kept shouting, "I'm a cow too!" This enraged the herd, and they killed the donkey with their horns. Wisdom Tip: Imitating without possessing the same qualities often leads to failure. Each creature should develop according to its own nature.
