                 Once upon a time there was an old tiger in a forest who could not hunt animals. So, he thought of a new way of killing animals.
One day he sat in a bush. He had a gold bangle on one of his paws. He held out the bangle and said to the travelers, “Oh, traveler ! come here and take this gold bangle, I want to make a gift for you.” Many travelers ran away as they were afraid of the tiger. But one greedy traveller heard the offer and stopped to take it. He said to the tiger, “you are a wicked beast, how can I believe you?”.
   The tiger said, “I am no longer wicked. I have grown old and wise. I came to understand that it is sin to kill an animal and kindness is a virtue, so, I want to make a gift of this gold bangle to you.”
Then the traveler believed the tiger and wanted to take the bangle. He had to cross a marsh to reach the tiger. When he started to cross the marsh, soon he found himself in a pool of mud.
‘I can not move’, said the traveller.
‘I’ll help you.’ Said the tiger. The tiger than fell upon the traveler and killed him.
Moral: Never believe a wicked fellow.

What was given, was given here. What you took, you took from this Universe. What you gave, you gave into this Universe. You have come empty handed and will go empty handed. What is yours today was somebody else’s in the past and will be somebody else’s in the future. You think i...

  The American astronaut Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin were the first humans to set their foot on the Moon surface on July 20, 1969, with the words: “That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.'

Armstrong was joined on the Moon by Edwin (Buzz) Aldrin, while Michael Collins orbited above them.
