The Mulla’s Donkey

Akbar and Birbal were out for a walk when they saw Mulla Nasruddin’s donkey. Akbar asked Nasruddin why his donkey’s tail was cut off. Nasruddin explained that the tail was too long and got in the way. Akbar asked Birbal what he thought. Birbal replied that the tail should have been cut little by little to avoid hurting the donkey.

Moral
Small changes are better than big ones, and it’s important to be mindful of others’ feelings.
