Once an experiment performed by the staff of Colombo Zoo; they kept a lion
in a large cage with a deer.
As expected, lion pounced immediately on the deer and
by killing, ate it.
After that, Zoo staff placed a strong wall made of glass
in the middle of the cage due to which the cage was divided into two halves. In
the first half lion was kept and in the other half Deer.
As soon as the lion saw the deer, it quickly ran with
its full agility to kill the deer but this time it bumped into the glass wall
and stopped. It didn’t give up and again in small-small intervals it ran with
its full power towards the deer and bumped into the glass wall.
On the other half, firstly deer was frightened very
much but when it saw that despite repeated attempts lion couldn’t come towards
it then the deer stayed comfortably.
The zoo staff gave meals to both lion and deer from
outside of the cage but lion had desire to eat fresh deer, that’s why lion repeatedly
ran towards deer and stopped by striking on the glass wall. After trying
regularly for two days lion’s gameness was reducing.
Seeing reduced enthusiasm of lion, zoo staff placed a
thin glass wall in place of the strong wall of glass. Lion tried to come towards
deer twice-thrice a day but now its attacking speed was slow and sluggish; despite
the thin glass wall lion was not able to cross it.
Lion only ate whatever meal was provided by the zoo
staff from outside, it had now abandoned the thought of struggle to eat fresh
deer.
Lion’s attacks were gradually closed. After some days,
zoo staff placed a thin transparent curtain in place of the thin wall of glass but
lion had left to pay attention towards deer; now lion didn’t do any effort to
come towards deer.
After some days, zoo staff also removed the transparent
curtain but lion wandered in half part of the cage and didn’t come towards
deer.
Whoever came in zoo got thrilled by seeing lion and
deer in the same cage.
When people asked zoo staff about this how it
happened? Then zoo staff answered- Indeed, lion have left to try due to which it
has quitted whereas there is no hurdle between the lion and the deer.
In this way, the pair of lion and deer remained entertaining
for many days in that zoo.
Dear friends, A person who quits in front of
difficulties doesn’t find success. Situation changes but the person who gives
up doesn’t cross the easy situation also. Therefore, try and try until you
achieve success. Thank You.
