Selfishness
In Africa they have a special way of capturing monkeys. These wary little animals are very fond of rice. In order to capture them, local farmers put some rice inside a hollow coconut shell, into which they have cut a hole just large enough for the monkey's hand. Half a dozen traps like this are left lying around in the center of the village. But each one is attached by a string to a nearby house. A family of monkeys comes up, attracted by the smell of rice. Each slips its hand into a shell to get a handful of rice. But with its hand full, it is unable to remove it. The hunters then approach and easily gather in their prey. If the monkey would only let go of the rice, it would be able to get away from the trap that had been set for it. But it likes rice too much to give it up - even at the risk of life.
How true it is, that the hand which is closed cannot receive - even freedom

The Balloonist and the Engineer
Realizing he was lost, a balloonist dropped down to ask directions. “Excuse me, but I’m a little off course” he shouted. “I promised to meet a friend an hour ago, I don’t know where I am.”
A woman hollered back: “You’re in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. You’re at exactly 40 degrees, 22 minutes, and 21 seconds North latitude and 70 degrees, 30 minutes, and 33 seconds West longitude.”
“Amazing,” the balloonist replied. “You must be an engineer!”
“I am,” she replied, “How did you know?”
“Well,” answered the balloonist, “everything you told me is technically correct, but I can’t use your information. I’m still lost and you haven’t been much help at all. If anything, you’ve delayed my trip.”
The woman thought for a moment, then replied: “You must be in management.” “I am,” replied the balloonist, “but how did you know?”
“Well,” said the woman, “you don’t know where you are or where you’re going. You’ve risen to your position due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise that you have no idea how to keep, and you expect people beneath you to solve your problems.”
“In fact,” she said, “you’re in exactly the same position you were before we met, but somehow it’s now my fault.”

The Pig and the Cow
A rich man complained to his friend: "People don't like me. They say I'm selfish and stingy. And yet in my last will and testament I have donated all that I own to charitable cause."
His friend said: "Well, maybe the story of the cow and the pig has a lesson for you.""The pig came to the cow and complained: 'People always talk about your friendliness. I know you are friendly, you do give them milk. But they get much, much more from me. They get ham and bacon and lard and they even cook my feet. And yet - no one likes me. To all of them I am just a pig, a hog. Why is that?'
The cow thought it over a bit and then said: 'Perhaps it's because I give while I am still alive!'"
धरती पर हर साल लगभग 50,000 भूकंप आते हैं.
अपनी गुफा से निकलते समय, चमगादड़ हमेशा बाईं तरफ को ही मुड़ते हैं
जिराफ की जीभ इतनी लंबी होती है कि वह अपने कान साफ़ कर सकता है.
जापान के शहर टोकियो में, 50 मिनट से कम दूरी वाली यात्रा के लिए एक साइकिल कार से ज्यादा तेज मानी जाती है
कॉकरोच सिर कटने के बाद भी कई सप्ताह तक जिंदा रह सकता है। दरअसल वह सिर कटने से नहीं, भूख से मरता है
मनुष्य अपने जीवनकाल में लगभग 60 हजार पाउण्ड भोजन सामग्री खा जाता है जो लगभग 6 हाथियों के वजन के बराबर है
डॉल्फिन मछली एक आंख खुली रखकर सोती है
पेंग्विन एक ऐसा पक्षी है जो तैर तो सकता है, पर उड़ नहीं सकता
