Once, there was a little frog. It had decided to become a famous doctor. It came out of the pond and went to live in the marshes. It sat on a rock there and proclaimed to all the animals, "I am a learned physician. I am skilled in giving the right drugs and I can cure all your diseases. I am a doctor."

All the animals were impressed and wanted to use the frog's services for their cure. After some time, a fox came forward and called out to the frog, "You! And a doctor! How come? How can you claim to have cures for others' diseases when you cannot even cure your own lame legs and blotched and wrinkled skin?" The frog did not have any answer and he was ashamed of his doing. All the animals started laughing. The frog quacked in embarrassment and returned to the pond.

The moral of the story: Heal yourself first before healing others.
