One day while walking through the wilderness, a man stumbled upon a vicious tiger. He ran but soon came to the edge of a high cliff. Desperate to save himself, he climbed down a vine and dangled over the fatal precipice. As he hung there, two mice appeared from a hole in the cliff and began gnawing on the vine. Suddenly, he noticed on the vine aplump wild strawberry. He plucked it and popped it in his mouth. It was incredibly delicious.

Lesson: Seizer the opportunity. Always seek the positive. The symbolism of the plump wild strawberry emphasizez that we should concentrate more on the pluses(the beauty and the simple joys) than the minuses (the danger and troubles) during each moment of our lives. One of the most exciting aspects of watching basketball is when a top player, especially a point guard seems to be running up the court into swarningdefenders and then all of a sudden tossesup a nicely alley-oop to a teammate for a slam dunk. These moments are like plucking thew strawberry. Their eyes see the opportunity.
