Grab the first oppurtunity

Once upon a time , in a village there lived a farmer and he had a beautiful daughter. A young man wished to marry the farmer's beautiful daughter. He went to the farmer for his permission.the farmer looked him over and said, "Son, go and stand out in that field. I am going to release three bulls, one at a time and what you have to do is that you have to catch the tail of any one of the three bulls, and if you are successful in this task you can marry my daughter."


The young man stood in the pasture awaiting the first bull.

The barn door opened and out ran meanest-looking,the biggest bull he had ever seen.He decide that one of the next bull had to be the better choice than this one, so he ran over to the side and let the bull pass the pasture out the back gate.

The barn door opened again. Unbelievable. He had never seen so big and fierce in his life. It stood pawing the ground, grunting, slinging slobber as it eyed him.Whatever the next bull was like, it had to be better choice than this one. So he ran to the fence and let the bull pass through the pasture, out the back gate.

The door opened a third time. A smile came across his face. This was the weakest, scrawniest little bull he had ever seen. This one was his bull. As bull came running by, he positioned himself just right and jumped at just moment. He grabbed ... but the bull had no tail!

Life is full of opportunities. Some will be easy to take advantage of, some will be difficult. But once we let them pass (often in hopes of something better), those opportunities may never again be available. So always grab the first opportunity..
