All
the organs of the body were very much disgusted with the stomach. They felt
that each of them had to labour hard, hut the stomach alone sat idle and
enjoyed the fruits of their labour. Once they met in a council and decided that
they would not work to feed stomach any longer.
Accordingly
all the organs stopped work to teach the idle stomach a good lesson. The hand
did not raise food to the mouth; the teeth did not chew it to feed the
voracious belly. The gullet did -not send food to the stomach. But the stomach
kept silent. It was starved.
Very
soon the natural result followed. All the organs of the body began to grow
thinner and weaker. They could now realize their own folly. They understood
that the stomach was not idle. It digested the food which gave them energy and
strength. So they made up their quarrel with the stomach and began to cooperate
with it for common good. The result was that the organs of the body got
back-their usual energy and strength.
Moral:
Cooperation is of great importance for success in any work.
