Always Think Twice

Once, a fox sneaked into a farm and grabbed a prized rooster.
The farmer saw him and raised the alarm to his dogs, and they started chasing the thief. The fox, though he was holding the rooster in his mouth, was running very fast.

"Get him! Get him!" shouted the farmer to his dogs.
"No!" screamed the rooster suddenly. "Don't come near me!"
"My master was very cruel to me," explained the rooster to the fox. "Tell him to stay away from me."

The fox was delighted. "He wants you to stay away from him!" the fox shouted at the farmer, in the process releasing his hold on the rooster.

The rooster flew up into a tree and stayed there till he was rescued by his master.

Think twice before you open your mouth to speak.

I find this story to be very true in real life. I have seen friends getting manipulated by such people as well as personally encountered such people.... I call them CUNNING ASS****S.

But we can counter these ASS****S by 'Thinking twice' before doing anything. Also remember that nothing in this world is free so BEWARE of people who are SUDDENLY very NICE or EXTREMELY HELPFUL. Friendly people are alright... just beware of those VERY HELPFUL type.

For the record, I would also like to state that not all helpful people are manipulative... there are those genuinely helpful ones (very very rare nowadays) but just give a second thought before u start to trust this person.
