Fable 308 - The Sea Voyagers

Some people boarded a ship and took to sea. When they were out in the open, a violent storm blew up and the vessel was
in danger of sinking. One by one the passengers tore at their clothes, invoking the gods of their countries with tears and moans and
promising to make offerings of thanks if they escaped and the boat was saved. But the tempest stopped and calm was restored. So they
began to make merry, to dance, to leap about like people do who have escaped from an unforeseen danger. Then the stout-spirited
steersman sprang up and said to them:
‘My friends, let us rejoice, but let us do so like people who may yet again encounter the storm.’

The fable shows that you shouldn’t become too elated with success, and that you should remember the fickleness of chance.
