Be sure of the true situation before concluding or taking action

A cat was so faithful that the woman could leave her baby
with it & go out to attend other matters. She always returned
to find the child soundly asleep with the cat faithfully
watching over him.
One day something tragic happened. The woman as usual,
left the baby in the "hands" of this faithful cat & went out
shopping. When she returned, she discovered rather a nasty
scene, there was a total mess. The baby's cot was
dismantled; his nappies & clothes torn to shreds with blood
stains all over the bedroom where she left the child & the cat.
Shocked, the woman wailed as she began looking for the
baby.
All of a sudden, she saw the faithful cat emerging from under
the bed. It was covered with blood and licking its mouth as it
had just finished a delicious meal.
The woman went berserk & assumed that the cat had
devoured her baby.
Without much thought she beat the cat with a wood to death.
But as she continued searching for the"remains" of her child,
she beheld another scene. Close to the bed was the baby,
who although lying bare on the floor, was safe & under the
bed the body of a snake torn to pieces in what must have
been a fierce battle between it & the cat, which was now
dead.
Then reality dawned on the woman who now began to
understand what took place in her absence. The cat fought to
protect the baby from the ravenous snake.
It was too late for her now to make amends because in her
impatience and anger,she had killed the faithful cat.
How often have we misjudged people & torn them to shreds
with harsh words and deeds before we have had time to
evaluate the situation? It is called SIN OF PRESUMPTION
Presuming things our way without taking the trouble to find
out exactly what the situation really is. Little patience can
drastically reduce major life long mistakes. Who Are you
misjudging right now. Don't think what you think others are
thinking. Take time to get the whole truth. Pls be patient wt ppl lest u live 2 regret ur actions against them. Be quick 2 hear but slow 2 respond and become angry.

Share if you're touched and use it as a LESSON!
