once there was a hawk who explored lands far and wide in all directions for the search of food.But every place he visited left him more hungry and empty. There were ants, fruits and worms everywhere but thats not the kind of food a hawk feasts on.Thats for lesser birds who are not so burdoned by their reputation as a bird of prey.So finally tired and starved , the hawk rested on a well to drink some water in peace.There was a frog who lived in the well and having no concept of the predators living in the world outside his home, the frog came outside the water to treat the alien guest with curosity.The hawk was about to swoop down and finish the fresh meat in front of his eyes when the frog spoke.
" You must be pretty stupid or crazy to leave your well"
The hawk surprised at first, felt a sudden coldness leaving him with no desire to live any longer.He finally flew off defeated but not by the frog but by the well.

Hawk was misguided.. after all he was a hawk and not a frog why then he reacted like one?

the piece is bullshit, it is one of those things that the one who has written it is the only one who understands its meaning
