The Hunter and the Bear

Winter was coming on and a hunter went out into the forest to shoot a bear out of which he planned to make a warm coat. By and by he saw a bear coming toward him and raised his gun and took aim.

"Wait," said the bear, "why do you want to shoot me?"

"Because I am cold," said the hunter.

"But I am hungry," the bear replied, "so maybe we can reach an agreement."

In the end, the hunter was well enveloped with the bear's fur and the bear had eaten his dinner. We always lose out when we try to compromise with sin. It will consume us in the end.
