Story 1: Jackal and Drums..!
Once upon a time, a jackal wandered away from his jungle and reached a deserted place. He was very hungry, so he started looking for food.
Suddenly he heard a strange sound. Jackal got scared and decided to run away.
But then he thought, “I should carefully, at least check who is making this sound.”
As he gathered his courage and looked around, he found that a drum was lying next to a tree and as wind blew, branches of tree rubbed against it, making the sound.
Seeing this he was relieved and continued his search for food.

Do not React blindly with Fear. Face Difficulties, instead of Running away.
