The Lion and the Dolphin

A Lion and a Dolphin made a pact to help each other.

Later, the Lion got into a fight on the shore and called for help. But the Dolphin couldn’t come out of the water.

The Lion accused him of breaking the promise.

The Dolphin said, “I didn’t break it—I just can’t help you from where I am.”

Moral: Even good intentions are useless if we don’t have the ability to act.
