  • This is a story about a hyena who, driven by greed and indecision, tries to take two paths at once, hoping to gain everything. But in doing so, he ends up with nothing. Like the proverb “A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush” teaches, the hyena learns that trying to get too much at once can lead to losing it all. The tale reminds us to make wise choices and be content with what we can truly have.
