Short Fable Story: The Most Dangerous Animal in the World

Who is the most dangerous animal in the world?

Jack was a successful businessman in the mining industry, and his side hustle was hunting. He was well-known as a skilled hunter, and his biggest goal was to defeat the most dangerous animal in the world.

One day, while exploring the jungle in search of the most dangerous animal, he noticed some strange movement.
Instinctively, Jack raised his rifle toward the moving bushes.

“Don’t shoot!” cried a red and blue parrot.

“I’m not dangerous. I know you’re looking for the most dangerous animal. But mosquitos are the deadliest creatures in the world. They spread diseases like malaria,” said the parrot, named Motiparrot.

“Mosquitos? I’ve defeated them. I run a pest control business,” Jack replied, smiling at the parrot.

Jack, the hunter, stepped closer to the parrot.

“Don’t take me! You’re rich, and you already have the cleverest parrot in your home. You don’t need me anymore,” Motiparrot said.

“Look to the right! That’s more interesting. He’s not dangerous, but you can get fresh meat!” the parrot tried to distract Jack’s attention.

Jack then pointed his rifle at a mousedeer beside him.

The mousedeer was trembling but he tried to smile.

“Welcome to the jungle! I’m Mousedeer. I know you’re not hungry. You’re here for pride, aren’t you? It’s my pleasure to give you information about the most dangerous creature in the world,” the mousedeer said.

“Interesting! Show me the way to catch the creature,” Jack said.

“You’ll meet it in the cave. I’ll lead the way,” Mousedeer replied.

Jack followed the mousedeer and the parrot to the cave. Then, then, they arrived in front of the cave.

“It’s the cave. If I were you, I wouldn’t enter this dangerous place,” Mousedeer warned.

“I’ll enter and defeat the creature, It’s hunting time,” Jack said, smiling at them.

Jack stepped into the cave. It was humid, dark, and scary. He walked through the narrow passage, handling a rifle. In the darkness, he heard movement and felt the air shift. He started shooting randomly, gasping with each shot. He realized he was out of bullets and wondered if it was just his fear. He didn’t back down. He pulled out a dagger and moved silently through the dark. Jack noticed a spot in the cave that was lit by a dim light, and he walked closer to it. With a sharp dagger, he was ready to stab and slash. As he saw something moving, he jumped and moved his dagger to stab it.

Suddenly, he froze. He saw a cringe-worthy and scary monster face. It was the face of a killer. The face of a beast. The face of the most dangerous creature. Jack, the hunter, realized he had seen the scary face of himself.

“The beast is in me. I am thirsty for killing and pride. My obsession is deadly. The most dangerous animal is human. it’s me. Is human the most dangerous animal?”

Yeah, homicides by humans are the deadliest.
In the name of pride and civilization, humans have sacrificed animals, plants, and other humans. Jack was aware of his deadly pride. He left the cave and learned a precious lesson from his journey in the jungle. He did not want to become scary monster.
