The Wildfire and the Hummingbird
Once, there was a beautiful forest. One day that forest caught fire. it spread rapidly and within moments, the trees and the climbers were all in flames The terrified birds and animals frantically scurried in all directions. Some of the animals managed to escape. But seeing all this, the hummingbird felt very sad. “This forest gave me trees to build my nest and fruits when I was hungry. I must save this forest from fire,” she thought “I am going to save this forest, “she said.
The hummingbird quickly flew towards the nearby stream. She returned with the single drop of water she held in her small beak and sprinkled it over the flames. She repeated her attempts and brought several drops of water to douse the fire The elephants and other big animals saw the exhausted bird trying to put out the fire What are you doing? Can you extinguish the fire with the single drop of water carried in your tiny beak?’ they discouraged the sparrow I am doing the best thing I can do in the best way, “the sparrow replied.
