One fine day one saint was performing some meditation in the midst of the forest. A rat chased by the cat came to this saint and asked for sheltering it. The Saint by means of uttering few chants, poured some sprinkles of water on the rat which immediately became the cat. The cat used to take the milk offered by the saint every day and was leading the life peacefully. It was roaming in and around the ashram of the saint. In the meanwhile a Dog chased the cat which once again approached the saint to protect it from the dog. The saint once again chanted mantras and sprinkled on this cat which amazingly became a dog. This dog was wandering in the forest and kept on running when attacked by a Lion. This time the saint thought and converted it into a Sharabh (biggest animal more powerful than the lion or tiger). One day this sharabh was contemplating on the power of the saint and decided to eat him (kill him). Fortunately the saint realized this and converted that into the small rat as it was earlier. The lesson for us: If any one helps us in time we shall be grateful to him and we should not make the person a victim for helping us. One more lesson we can draw is HELP ONLY THE DESERVED.
