There was a lion who feared nothing except the crowing of cocks. A chill would go down his spine whenever he heard a cock crowing.
One day he confessed his fear to the elephant, who was greatly amused.
"How can the crowing of a cock hurt you?" he asked the lion. "Think about it!"
Just then a mosquito began circling the elephant's head, frightening him out of his wits.
"If it gets into my ear I'm doomed!" he shrieked, flailing at the insect with his trunk.
Now it was the lion's turn to feel amused.
Moral: If we could see our fears as others see them we would realise that most of our fears make no sense!
Dimdima is the Sanskrit word for ‘drumbeat’. In olden days, victory in battle was heralded by the beat of drums or any important news to be conveyed to the people used to be accompanied with drumbeats.
