Off season!!

Let me tell you a story, it looks invented from its content, but who cares, till you read it and get the meaning right.

Once there was an Ox, who worked hard in the village field, he had immense strength and had made a great name for himself in the village for his strength, but he was not happy, to him it still felt no one recognized his effort and he was marginalized and often commented that he ate a lot. Everything seemed day to day, till a Circus come to village.

It was glamour and fun for the villagers, for the next few days, the animal’s acts were amazing, but the fact behind the entertainment proportion was different. Animal were forced and tortured to do things against thy will. An Elephant on one leg was an act for all, but for him was a humiliating affair, tiger roaring and moving like a cat, he has already bought lots of shame to his ancestor. Same went for the others animals as well, who had a life good on canvas but behind were digging for fresh air.

Ox came to know about the plight of the animals, he had loads of sympathy for them, and he now feels himself to be better placed. Best of all, he has the freedom to roam in his masters field. He was content with the life he has, till he heard from some cows about the macho Ox from nearby village who fight and beat two burly Ox in a prized fight. Ox felt he was the strongest in the village and ladies’ praising some one from other village is humiliating and insulting to his gender.

He went to his master and told his feeling, master advised, yes you are strong and one of the best Ox around but you not trained all these years for fighting, you a farm one. He did not listen and persuaded his master to have a shot at this. Master agreed, ladies went ga ga ga for the heroic one.

After a month Ox was finding himself against another Ox in a big arena, thousands of watching eye. It was pride at stake and honor of man at at stake, as he supposed. Battle went for few minutes; he lost it easily to his counter. He was not good at all; battle left him in agony and pain, the worst of all he broke his hind leg.

Three months from now, the Ox is again working in the same old farm, only coz he got a kind master, as no one like a limping Ox doing work, Ladies has diapered for him forever, they always had been admirer of heroes.

What about the Ox, he has changed or he still do what touches his mind, he seems not to bother about world now I shall say, he feels he has a life left and he do best when he serves his master and eats his fodder on time.
