  • Artist Info: A man who lived a long time ago believed that he could read <br />
    the future in the stars. He called himself an Astrologer <br />
    and spent his time at night gazing at the sky.<br />
    <br />
    One evening he was walking along the open road outside the <br />
    village. His eyes were fixed on the stars. He thought he saw <br />
    there that the end of the world was at hand, when all at once, <br />
    down he went into a hole full of mud and water.<br />
    <br />
    There he stood up to his ears, in the muddy water, and madly <br />
    clawing at the slippery sides of the hole in his effort to climb out. <br />
    His cries for help soon brought the villagers running. As they <br />
    pulled him out of the mud, one of them said:<br />
    <br />
    "You pretend to read the future in the stars, and yet you fail to <br />
    see what is at your feet! This may teach you to pay more attention <br />
    to what is right in front of you, and let the future take care of itself."    <br />
    <br />
    "What use is it," said another, "to read the stars, when you can't <br />
    see what's right here on the earth?"    <br />
    <br />
    Take care of the little things and the big things will take care of themselves.
