The Two Little Leopard Cubs: A Quest for Identity

The Two Little Cubs: A Quest for identity.
(A Cautionary Tale)


Two little leopard cubs
One shy, one bold,
went out to play
in the wild wide world.
Bold so bright -
Life a big adventure.
Shy so quiet-
Life a no go venture.
Played games together-
Shy learnt from Bold,  
Rough and tumble
Not always gentle. 

Which one do you think escapes
the focus of real danger? 

Hidden out of sight...

True story captured by a wildlife photographer. 
Lions are the fiercest of enemies for leopards. They attack and kill leopards without hesitation. The more adventurous cub, not yet  
fully experienced in life was killed by lions. The "shy" cub escaped... To live another day. 
Reminds me of Proverbs 22:3 
"The shrewd one sees the danger and conceals himself. 
But the I experienced keep right on going and suffer the consequences..."
