A young man wished to marry the farmer's beautiful daughter. He went
to the farmer to ask his permission.
The farmer looked at him and said, "Son, go stand out in that field.
I'm going to release three bulls, one at a time. If you can catch
the tail of any one of the three bulls, you can marry my daughter."
The young man stood in the field awaiting the first bull. The barn
door opened and out came the biggest, meanest looking bull he had
ever seen. He decided that one of the next bulls had to be a better
choice than this one, so he ran over to the side and let the bull
pass through.
The barn door opened again. Unbelievable. . He had never seen
anything so big and fierce in his life. It stood pawing the ground,
it eyed him. Whatever the next bull was like, it had to be a better
choice than this one he thought. He ran to the fence and let the
bull pass through.
The door opened a third time. A smile came across his face. This was
the weakest bull he had ever seen. This one was his bull, he said to
himself. As the bull came running by, he positioned himself just
right and jumped at just the exact moment. He threw his hands to
grab..... But alas..... The bull had no tail. *
Moral : Life is full of opportunities. Always grab the first one.. *
