There are three styles of literature one is like a coconut, and one has to break it to understand the content, therefore requires more effort.

This book is like grapes but the content is extremely valuable.

Life needs a wise strategy, family needs a wise strategy or else life becomes like a ship without a compass. One has to learn to observe and then learning happens only in observation.
In the episode of Mahabharata, there is a story narrated by Kanika one of the ministers of King Dhritarastra.
A jackal, a tiger, a wolf, a mongoose and a mouse lived as friends in a forest. One evening, they sighted a mighty deer, youthful, and endowed with speed and strength. The tiger being the strongest among them failed in its effort to hunt down the deer. So they brain stormed together as a team and created a strategy. During night, when the deer rests, the rat would go near the deer and bite it hard. When injured, the tiger would attack. Their strategy worked and the deer was caught and killed. Before they began to feast on the bounty, all of them were to take bath. The tiger was the first to come back and noticed that the jackal was sitting sad beside the dead deer. On enquiry, the jackal replied, 'It is because of the mouse. The mouse uttered proudly that it was instrumental in killing the deer and the tiger is taking all the glory. Angry at this turn of events, the tiger broke away from the team. Next was the turn of the wolf. The jackal said, 'The tiger is waiting to kill you if you eat the deer as you did not do anything to deserve the meat. The wolf out of fear went away from the team. Further, the jackal narrated lies to other members and all of them parted from the team. Finally, the jackal got the whole deer to feast. No doubt from a short sighted view it gained the entire bounty but from a deeper perspective, it can't hunt down another deer on its own. Thus the strength of the team was lost.
