One day, Leo met an older, wiser leopard named Lana. Lana had lived in the savannah for many years and was known as the best hunter in the land. Leo asked her, “How do you catch so much prey? I’m fast and strong, but I can’t seem to catch anything.”
Lana smiled and said, “It’s not always about speed or strength, Leo. It’s about patience. Watch and learn.”
The next morning, Lana took Leo on a hunt. They spotted a herd of antelope in the distance. Leo was ready to run, but Lana stopped him. “Wait,” she whispered. “Let’s watch them.”
For hours, Lana and Leo waited quietly, watching the antelope. Lana studied their movements, waiting for the right moment. Finally, when the antelope were relaxed and had stopped paying attention, Lana moved swiftly and caught her prey with ease.
Leo was amazed. “I see now,” he said. “Patience helped you succeed.”
Lana nodded. “Sometimes, the best thing you can do is wait. Rushing doesn’t always lead to success.”
From that day on, Leo practiced patience in his hunts. Over time, he became just as skilled as Lana, catching his prey by waiting for the perfect moment.
The lesson: Patience is often the key to success. Like Leo, if you learn to wait for the right moment, you’ll find that your efforts will be rewarded.
