A lion and A sheep

2005 Mar, a preacher told this. Once upon a time, there is a lion and a sheep as best companion to each other. They walk joyfully in the forest. A sheep is a peaceful animal. He is careful to the road ahead and enjoy the pasture lands. Nonetheless how peaceful he is, at times the pasture could be overgrazed and he need to move to find new pasture. There must be times of such, a sheep so hesitate to move out of his piece of visible grassland because he is inborn poor eyesight. Probably he need some animal to help him to start this little adventure. He found the lion be good companion, because only lion possess good eyesight and can back sheep up the fears to pass through the valley to find sheep the next pasture. Only a lion, that the sheep can see there is no fear to be adventurous. Another sheep won't do that.

A lion is an animal who addicted to victory, where the lion goes boldly to explore new adventures . Lion doesn't like taking rest, and always proudly marches in the forest. Nonetheless how strong is the lion however, there must be times the lion suddenly realizes he is tired, and needs some animals to give him warmth and encouragement. There must be times the lion feels lonely because the adventurous places are also somewhere no animals feel pleasant to go. There must be times the lion failed a battle with other fierce animals in the forest, be returned with a wounded body and soul, he feels he want a home and rest. There must be times, lion needs a recovery for the next battle in the forest. Lion found the sheep be a good companion, because only a sheep is a loyal companion no matter how dangerous the sheep feels. Another lion won't do that.

To make these 2 animals forever companions, the lion should not be too happy for his own adventures and forget a sheep is walking with him; that sheep is actually breaking through one sheep's inborn limitation to go to some strange places in the forest.

The sheep should not be too happy for his own existing pasture and forget a lion is walking with him; that the lion is actually breaking through one lion's inborn capacity and endurance of bored life to stay long time on the same pasture land.
