Once upon a time, there was a very short-tempered demon. He would get angry at the smallest things. When angry, he had no control over his actions. One day, the demon decided to make for himself a beautiful tree house for
the summer. He worked hard for ten days. On the eleventh day, a beautiful tree house was ready on the tallest tree of the jungle. Just when the demon was giving it the final touches, a pigeon flying above him dropped a worm on his shoulder.
The demon was furious and started chasing the pigeon. After a long chase the tired pigeon sat on top of a tree. The demon was so blinded by rage that he didn't realise that it was the same tree with his precious tree house. He lashed out at it and his beautiful tree house came crashing down along with the tree.
Moral : Thoughtless anger can cause serious damage.
