I found a beautiful yet simple fable to illustrate a lesson.
A monk was being chased by a tiger and ran and ran until he got to the edge of a cliff. With the tiger in pursuit he jumped but instead of crashing to the water he luckily caught a branch. While hanging on to the branch he noticed a small bush of strawberries beside him. With the tiger above him, the water below him and the branch giving out on him the monk ate a strawberry and enjoyed it. The lesson: no matter what's behind you or in front of you always enjoy the strawberry.
