A wolf was running in a forest when it saw a plate of minced meat. It was attracted by the smell and then it approached that plate. A man suddenly showed up and stopped the wolf from nearing the meat. "That is a nice and delicious plate of food, can i have some?" the wolf asked.
"No. This plate of food is used to capture a creature called "opportunity". The man replied.
The wolf:"how does opportunity looked like?"
The man:"I don't know, but i heard that he/she will make me successful and rich."
The wolf:"Oh..Can you please let me have some? A tiny portion will do."
The man:"NO WAY! Opportunity could not be as ugly as you are! I don't want to waste my food on you."
The wolf:"ok. Fine. Byebye!" And then the wolf ran off.
Apparently, the man had added in some sleeping powder to the meat. He wanted to capture "opportunity" when it is sleeping after eating the food. The man waited and waited. Suddenly, he heard some noises, sounds of foot step getting louder. He realised that a group of hunters, carrying bows and arrows were running towards him.
Hunter A:"Hey sir ! Did you see a wolf passing by here?"
The man:"Yes. It went towards the west. May i know why are you chasing that wolf?"
Hunter A:"Oh. Because that wolf had killed the king's precious cat while he was hunting just now."
Hunter B:"Ya. The king is very angry and is willing to make whoever manages to catch the wolf rich!"
Hunter A:"That is why we are trying so hard to hunt that wolf."
The man was completely devastated when he realised that he had wasted a rare chance of getting rich.
