Once there were two ants sitting on the rim of a cup that contained amrit, the nectar of immortality.
As they were talking, one of the ants lost his balance and was about to fall into the cup. He somehow managed to get back on the rim.
The other ant asked him, ‘Why don’t you want to fall into the cup? Even if you drown in this, you will become only immortal.’
The first ant replied, ‘But I don’t want to drown!’
