Mooha and Booha

By: Jacob Jacobson illustrations: Shirley Waisman

Mooha and Booha are two cows who find it impossible to be content. Each of them believes the other's grass is greener. This story is an amusing demonstration of how jealousy leads to loss. "Who can stand before jealousy?" (Proverbs, 27:4)

It is natural to feel jealous. Sometimes we even grow when we compare ourselves to others, as the comparison encourages us to develop our aspirations and progress, or change and improve ourselves. However, all too often, jealousy is destructive and harmful to both us and others. In the Book of Proverbs, King Solomon wrote: “Who can stand before jealousy?”. And, indeed, it is not easy to cope with jealousy. When we look at our neighbor’s grass, convinced that it is greener, we feel frustrated, discontented, and, in Mooha and Booha’s case, they also stay hungry. What a shame! If only each of the cows had been content with its own grass, it would surely have discovered that it is both green and deliciously filling.
