Be Real!

A story was told to me of a man who was desperately looking for employment and after looking for a long time he found a job in the zoo as a caretaker for a Baboon. He found his new job to be easy and fulfilling and he learned a lot about the Baboon and could explain to the many visitors in detail the questions they had as they came to that cage to see the baboon.
Until one day as he came to clean the cage of the Baboon he found that it was dead, so he went to inform the owner with great disappointment because he was not so sure if tomorrow he will have his job. And as they were discussing with the owner about the way forward the owner suggested maybe we don’t have to tell people that the Baboon is dead maybe you can just put on a Baboon costume that looks similar to the dead one and act like it and we will keep making our money and you will keep your job, the guy did not even think it over he just saw an opportunity that had presented itself again to keep his job, so he agreed and started his new work immediately.
He went on for days with his new work until one day there were so many visitors coming he got so excited jumping all around making noise and eating the bananas that were thrown at him, so as he was jumping all over he accidentally jumped out of his cage into the Lions cage and everyone was curious to see what will happen as the Lions roared approaching the Baboon and the Baboon thumped it’s chest the visitors cheered on and when the Baboon saw that the Lions could not be stopped by it’s noise and chest thumping and realizing he was only a man in a Baboon’s costume he decided it was time to scream for help so he ran to one corner of the cage shouting while the Lions went fast after him the visitors were amazed at the screaming Baboon and when the Lions had cornered him they told him you fool stop shouting or you will make all of us to loose our jobs the man in the Baboon costume was surprised to learn that even the Lions had died a long time ago and that these were just men wearing costumes but the visitors were disappointed that they were not getting the real thing when they came to the zoo
Moral of the story be real with yourself and others do not put on masks to move ahead in life stay true because one day when JESUS CHRIST will judge the world everything hidden will be made open
