So and this is the quote \" No act of kindness , no matter how small is ever wasted. \" Okay, good. Let's continue. Let's look at the note here. This quote by Aesop comes from his famous fable \"The Lion and the Mouse. \" Yeah. And remember I think I mentioned this in the last ones I did by him. Remember at one time he was a slave and he made most of his fables he used animals in them. And one of the reasons he used animals is because he was really basing the animals on real people , but he didn't want the real people to realize who he was writing about so he substituted animals instead of people. So that's why a lot of his fables actually have animals in them. All right. Let's continue. In the story, a small Mouse is caught by a lion and is set free as an act of kindness instead of being eaten. Even though the lion did catch him first , but still he could have ate him and he decided to set him free. Just, just to be nice. Okay. Later in the story the mouse happens upon the lion trapped in net. So just comes across him by chance. The mouse remembers the kindness of the lion letting him go. He therefore chews through the rope helping to set the lion free. Okay, good. So let's continue. The moral of the story is that you never know an unconditional act of kindness. So unconditional means you know, you don't require that somebody does something else for you. You're just doing this act of kindness just to be nice. You're making no conditions. You're saying well I'll do this for you, if you do this for me. Unconditionally you just do it for them. An unconditional act of kindness done for someone may in some way come back to help you. Okay. It alludes to the idea of karma. If you do good things good things are more likely to come back to you. Of course, that works the opposite way too. So don't do bad things because then also would mean bad things are more likely to come around to you. In English we often describe this as you know, what comes around goes around or we can reverse the same phrase as what goes around comes around. The lion never imagined the mouse would be able to do anything for him. Yet he freed the mouse. So he did this kind act of you know an act of kindness and it ended up saving him as well. Anyway I hope you got it. I hope was clear. Thank you for your time. Bye-bye.
