A short story before the next update .
As all stories begin, this also begins as "Once upon a time ,there was a beautiful Palace on the banks of a small river. The entire Palace was constructed using the finest quality of the woods - Sandalwood, teak wood ,etc. There was a small garden in front of the palace where the two main characters of this story - sparrow and crow lived on a tree. One day, a fire accident happened in the palace and the entire palace was set on fire. People were trying their level best to put off the fire. They used the river water for putting off the fire. The sparrow also started to collect water from the river in its small beak and tried to put off the fire. In spite of all these efforts, the fire could not be controlled. Villagers gathered people from neighboring villages and increased their efforts to put off the fire. The sparrow also stressed itself to put off the fire. Meanwhile, the crow was happily perched on the tree and was seeing the whole drama unfold in front of its eyes. It was relaxed and was behaving as nothing happened .The crow was observing the sparrow's plight to put off the fire.
Following is the conversation that happened between them:
Crow : Hello Mr.Sparrow, I see that you are trying to put off the fire. Do you think that you alone can bring the fire under control? Look at all these humans. They themselves are not able to control it. Let alone, you with such a small beak, hoping to put off the fire. Don't you know your limitations? Aren't you trying for something which is beyond your reach? You are just wasting your time. Look at your kids. They haven't been fed since morning. The best thing for you to is to shift your house to another tree. The flames are getting bigger and it might spread to our tree also.
Sparrow : Mr.Crow, I am fully aware of my limitations. I know that I neither cant put this fire off nor am hoping that I can control this fire. I am just doing my part of the duty. If I am able to put off a single small spark from the water collected in my beak, I consider my efforts not to be in vain. One thing is for sure : When People talk about this incident later , when this event gets jotted in the history, my name will be mentioned in the list who tried to put off this fire and not in the list of who lit the fire.
I leave the readers to interpret the moral of this story.
