The Three Kick Rule

Mr. Han was a lawyer. He loved fishing and hunting. On a clear Saturday, he decided to spend his day fishing and hunting. He drove a long way into the forest to reach a lake. He decided to try his chance at fishing. Unfortunately, he could not catch even a single fish when he decided to return home. Suddenly he saw a rabbit moving around in the nearby area.

He shot the rabbit and it fell inside the fence of a garden. The lawyer took a quick glance in and around the garden but saw nobody. He jumped inside, grabbed the rabbit and was about to climb back the fence, when he was caught by the owner. They now argued over the ownership of the rabbit.

The lawyer said he shot the rabbit and so it belonged to him. The owner argued that the rabbit grew in his garden and was lying in it. Therefore, it belonged to him. The lawyer shouted at the owner, ‘See, I’m a lawyer! I can sue you in the court and get you severe punishment!’

The owner decided to teach the lawyer a lesson. He said, ‘Okay. I’ll kick you three times with all my strength. You too can do the same to me. Let us continue this until one of us gives up! The one who gives up loses the game and the other one wins the rabbit! The lawyer agreed to the ‘Three Kick’ rule and was confident he could win it! Apparently, the lawyer looked bigger and stronger than the garden owner.

They then argued on who should start kicking first. They decided to toss a coin. The garden owner won the toss and decided to kick the lawyer first! The garden owner kicked him in his stomach, legs and face! The lawyer groaned in pain and before he starts kicking the owner, the garden owner said, ‘I give up! It is all yours. Now, enjoy the rabbit!’ Never underestimate anyone and never become overconfident of your talent and powers. A big blow at the right place can bring you down.
