Election: Wolf or Lions?

To spice up the election fever, read this meaningful story.

God has created 2 flocks of sheep on grassland. He divided them into 2 groups; one group was placed on the south of grassland while another was on the north. He has also created 2 types of predators for the sheep, namely Lions and Wolf.

God told the sheep: If you choose Wolf, then I'll put a Wolf among you as your predator, let him eats you; If you choose Lions, then I'll give you 2 Lions, you can choose either one of them to be your predator and you can replace him with another Lion anytime.

The question is: If you were one of the sheep, are you going to choose Wolf or Lions?
It's an easy question, right?

The sheep on the south of grassland had a discussion and thought that Lions are a lot fiercer than Wolf. They chose a Wolf over the Lions.

On the north of the grassland, the sheep also had a discussion and decided to choose the 2 Lions over the Wolf as they thought that they have an option to choose a Lion out of the two even though Lions are a lot fiercer than a Wolf.

God has placed the Wolf into the flock on the south. The Wolf started to eat the sheep after he was loosed among the flock.


Because of the Wolf is smaller in size and he has a smaller appetite, a sheep is well enough to feed him for a few days. Thus, he will only find his prey among the sheep once in a few days.

While the sheep on the north of the grassland has chosen a Lion as their predator, another Lion was kept with God.

The Lion started to eat the sheep as well once he was placed among the flock. As you know, a Lion is fiercer than a Wolf. Since his appetite is a lot larger than a Wolf, he needs to eat a sheep every day.

Thus, the flock was frightening every day that one of them would be killed each day. Hence, the flock has replaced the Lion among them with the Lion that kept by God. Unexpectedly, this Lion was starved for days.

He was very hungry. Thus, he ate more than the previous Lion. The flock ended up with trying to run away from him and they were no longer has the time to enjoy the green grass that was created purposely for them.

The flock on the south was grateful that they have chosen the right predator while they laughed at the flock on the north. The flock on the north was regretful. They made a complaint to God and appealed their predator to be changed. They wanted a Wolf this time.

God told them, once the predator was chosen, it can't be changed. It will be passed on to your offspring. The only option you have is to choose one of them to be placed among you.

Then, the flock on the north has exchanged the Lions alternately after every couple of days. However, both of the Lions were cruel and bit them every day. Either one of them is much worse than a Wolf. At last, the flock was giving up exchanging the Lions.

As a result, the Lion with them was stout and strong while the other with God was thin and starved. When the Lion with God almost died, the flock has exchanged the stout Lion for the thin Lion.

The thin Lion has learnt a lesson after starving for a long time: Even though he is fierce and the sheep is no fight for him, but the sheep presides his destiny. He could be sent back to God anytime. Then, he will be starved for a long time and likely will be dead because of starving.

After learning this fact, he started to treat the flock nicely. He only ate those dead sheep or sick sheep; He never bit a healthy sheep. The flock was happy to realize this. A few of them have suggested that they keep this thin Lion to stay with them forever; they don't want the stout Lion anymore.

One of them has reminded the others, the thin Lion treats us nicely because he is afraid of we are going to send him back to God. If the stout Lion was died because of starving, we lose an option. Then, this thin Lion will turn into his true colour.

The others think that his words are right. To prevent another Lion dies of starving, they exchanged the Lions again.

Since the stout Lion has been starved for quite some time, he was now all skin and bones. He also learned that his destiny is on the hand of the sheep. In order to stay longer on the grassland, he started to please the flock. Another Lion was crying because he was sent back to God. At last, the flock on the north lives freely and peacefully after struggling a long way.

And the situation for the flock on the south became worse. Because there is no competitor for the Wolf and the flock has no any other option to replace him, he acted widely. He bit a few sheep every day, but he didn't eat the mutton.

He was sucking the blood of the sheep. He didn't allow any sheep to baa. He would kill the baaing sheep once he heard it. Now, the flock on the south is regretful: We should choose Lions over the Wolf.

What is the difference between Democracy and Autocracy?

This is it. But, there are a lot of people among us will choose a Wolf over the Lions because the Lions are fiercer than a Wolf.
