Who/With

W - Who/with is a letter in Rolypolys no Nanakorobi Yaoki.

Plot

Cho is relaxing on the beach, drinking a smoothie and playing his own theme song on a cassette player. He occasionally tosses a dog treat to Pon, who he has tied to a stick and is making run around frantically while chasing the food. After a few throws, Cho throws two dog treats at once, which confuses Pon, who cannot decide which one to pursue. Pon then stretches horizontally in an attempt to catch both.

First moral

"He who pursues two hares catches nothing."

First explanation

"Literally: If you run after two hares, you will catch neither.

If you are greedy and try to do too many things at the same time, you are likely to fail at everything. Pon had no truoble catching his favorite treats one at a time; but when he tried to get two at once, he ended up with nothing. Concentrating fully on one thing at a time not only increases your chances of success, but usually brings much greater rewards. Pon found this out the hard way, didn't he."

Second moral

"Kill two birds with one stone."

Second explanation

"Pon ended up losing out because he was greedy. But wait a minute! In the end he did actually wind up getting double the portion of doggie treats. Sometimes there's no accounting for how something will turn out, and you could just be lucky enough to gain more than you expected-or deserve. Of course, things don't always turn out that way. When you're greedy, you either fail or succeed. Only heaven knows which."
