So, we shouldn’t be greedy and should know a contented mind is a perpetual feast. Passage 172: This story tells us: we should recognize our own ability. Don’t bite off more than one can chew. Sometimes, team partners are the key to succeed. We don’t fear the strong enemy but to fear the stupid companion. Without doubt, the foxes were clever. They keep in-between. They didn’t choose the weak as their partners and the strong as their enemy. …show more content…

Later, he found the camel were kind and meek. And he drove it. So we should have the courage to face the challenges. Passage178: Two blacks do not make one white.

So when the stag asked the sheep to lend him a measure of wheat and said that the wolf was his surety, the sheep didn 't trust him. I think if the stag changed a surety, he would have the chance to get the food. But he chose one like himself. One robber had worried the sheep, moreover two robber. Passage179: Though the peacock had the best feathers, he can 't fly on the sky. Fine feathers don 't make fine birds. Maybe the peacock had the beautiful looks, but the crane had the inner beauty.

For the two times that I did respond to someone’s response, I felt that I had a view worthy of being shared among my group, and this was supported when some of my peers agreed with the point I made and added their own view on top of mine. But for my second response, it was more like two responses which were included in one as a result of my wanting to respond to something that was mentioned before but that I wasn’t called on for, and for the most recent response at the time.
