This is very helpful because inexperienced dancers (like me and I’m sure several others) were able to mimic motions if they were unsure about where their limbs needed to be It can clearly be seen that all wrong actions will have bad results, thus proving the truth of the old saying, “You will reap what you have sown”.Last week, each group was assigned at least one student in the dance program. ![]() He then asked the heron to put him down and as soon as he was free, he caught hold of the heron’s neck with his powerful nippers and killed him after telling him that his wrongful acts had to be stopped. When they reached the stone slab, the crab saw a pile of fish bones and he at once knew the trick. This went on for several days until finally the giant crab asked the heron to carry him, too. The heron was all the time hoping for the king to say this, and immediately he caught some fish in his bill and carried them to a dry stone slab far away, where he ate them. The king thanked him for the excellent answer and also added he needed his help in carrying all the fish to another pond. To this, the heron replied that the only way out was to carry all the fish to another pond. This news reached the ears of the king of the fish, who then asked the heron what the remedy was. The cunning heron replied that he was very sorry that a fisherman would soon be catching all the fish inside the pond.

Wise thought coupled with wise action brings us the respect of others and keeps us from losing our self-respect. If we think and act wisely and well, then we shall not need to feel shame for our conduct. If we commit wrong actions, we ought first to think carefully to see if it will bring us joy or sorrow. The other side is the importance of keeping our self-respect. All of us ought to arrange all our actions so that they will earn us respect from our friends and all who know us. ![]() Those who fail to keep promises soon are not respected. Also, before we make a promise, we ought to ask ourselves if we shall be able to make our actions fit in with our words. We ought first to decide if the promise when kept will be “Right Action”.
