Oversmartness kills

Once upon a time there was a pirate who went out on his ship for a secret quest. Suddenly, the ship of the pirate was becalmed near a rocky coast. He tried hard to move but at last, noticed a  bell fastened to the dangerous submerged rock. He asked about it and was told that it was placed there to warn the sailors during storms.

He should have aborted his mission but he thought it to be fake. He thought it would be a joke to take the bell so he decided to row across the boat to the rock. He ignored the warning signs and cut the chain and caused the bell to sink. Things started changing after a while.

The weather started changing and strong winds started blowing. He tried to control the motion and direction of his journey but gradually sailed away. As a result of this, the pirate returned to the same coast after years. The sea was covered with fog and a huge storm arose.

The pirate did not know where he was but before he could figure it out, he faced a terrible crash. The ship struck the same rock. Gradually the ship started drowning and went down in the waters. The pirate realised that it was a shipwreck. He realised his mistake but it was too late. He wished he had left the bell alone.

Moral: Act before its too late.
