The proud dragonfly
Since the Gulf War was won by coalition troops using advanced helicopter aircraft technology, it has made the Dragonflies arrogant and haughty. Attitude of the dragonfly so changed against his friends. "Apparently, technology that mimics my body shape can win the war of khan," said the dragonfly bragging.
Every time he met his best friend, he always pretended to be arrogant and hurtful. To the dragonfly, none of his companions can match his prowess. If there is a friend willing to show the achievements of the dragonfly will immediately try desperately to drop his mental.
Insulting. Meneror with words, even shrinking reluctantly issued a slander so that his best friend can not achieve equal to him. "Prestige if there are friends who excel my achievement," said the dragonfly.
Attitude of the dragonfly is quite disturbing his friends. No one dared to oppose what the dragonfly said. Arguing they always lose, especially when using physical strength. They're scared. However, the more the dragonfly's friends fear the attitude of the dragonfly, making the dragonfly added arrogant and arbitrary. All orders of the dragonfly must be obeyed even though the heart is actually trying to oppose it.
One day, the dragonfly's friends gathered to devise ways to awaken his growing behavior. And by mutual agreement, they will trap the dragonfly by using glue made of rubber bands soaked in kerosene for a whole day.
''Well, now this glue is finished, my friends, "said the butterfly
"Put the glue at the end of a stick, then we put the stick in the clearing, of course the arrogant dragonfly will descend it And let's see what can be done with his arrogance"
Then they put together a stick that ends glueed into the middle of the field. Then they see it in the distance.
And it has become a habit, the dragonfly always perched on a higher place than the other place, so when he passed in the field immediately perched on the end of the broom stick without realizing that the stick is actually a trap for him.
" ouch.... ouch ... ouch... please .. please ... please, "cried the dragonfly as his body stuck on top of the stick.
"Hooray .... hurray ... hurray ....," shouted the dragonfly friends as he ran up to the dragonfly whose body is now powerless with glue.
"Help me, my friends ... free me from this disgusting glue, my friends," moaned the dragonfly.
"Huh ... ask for help ?! What's wrong with my hearing? An animal that feels strong, mighty, and no friends are able to match it now helpless ... ask for help again ... Where is your arrogant power!"
"Let him feel the effect of his arrogance and his arrogance!" another snapped. "Let him be aware and feel that life in this world should help each other out, be tolerant, not pretentious, not at will! If you have been trapped helpless like this then what can you do? Can you help yourself with the attitude arrogant and arrogant you? "
Hearing the story of his friends, make the dragonfly cry in the heart. "It's true his friends said, what can I do now?" she thought. Now he was aware of his wrong attitude all along. The arrogant, arrogant, self-centered attitude, dislike to help a troubled friend will have an ugly impact on his life, because life in this world can not live alone but need to help each other with others.
