The Heron Who Spoke of Renunciation

An old heron stood silently by a pond. When the fish asked why he did not hunt, he sighed, "I have renounced violence. I only grieve because this pond will soon dry."

The fish begged for help. The heron offered to carry them to another lake. One by one, he carried them away and ate them behind a rock.

A cautious crab asked to see the route. When he saw bones near the rock, he understood. He escaped and warned the pond. Holy words without honest conduct are dangerous.
