Once there was a Man walking through the jungle and he looks behind him and he sees a Lion chasing him. With fear in his eyes, the man begins to run and sees a well and jumps in. While he was falling down the well, he manages to grab a rope and hang on. Momentarily after that, he breaths a sigh of relieve. He than looks up and sees the Lion hovering over him and looks down and sees a large serpent with its mouth wide open waiting for him to fall. The only support he had was a rope and after a while, it was being nippled on by two mice, a black one and white one. In front of the man, he sees a honeycomb, at first he looks at the honeycomb and he sticks his finger into it and he takes that honey on his finger and places it on his tongue. Momentarily after that, the sweetness of the honey made him forget about the lion, the snake and the two mice...
In this Story, there is a couple of metaphors.
The Lion resembles Death, which is always chasing you
The Serpent resembles the Grave, which every person will fall
The Rope is Life
The Black Mouse resembles the Nite, The White Mouse resembles the Day... Which are always nippling on your Life
The Honey resembles this Dunya (This World), When the man tastes the Dunya, he forgets Death, His Grave and The Day when he dies and he will have to stand infront of his Creator..
THIS IS THE REALITY OF THIS WORLD
