        The Boy Bathing


 
Once there was a boy who was bathing in a river. He was in a danger of being drowned.

He called out to a passing traveler for help, but instead of holding out a helping hand, the man stood by angrily, and scolded the boy for his mistake.

"Oh, sir!" cried the youth, "please help me now and scold me afterwards."

Moral: Counsel without help is useless.
