The Talking Birds
Quite a long time ago, there lived two talking birds with their parents. One day
when their parents were away, a villager who generally had an eye on those special
birds caught them and took them away. One of the birds got away from the trap and
looked for his parents. The bird, at last, arrived at a hermitage where it was
welcomed and had some food. He lived joyfully.
An explorer once ran over the other bird that the villager caught. He talked very
rudely to him. He was shocked to see a talking bird but at the same time was angry
with his way of behaving. The explorer visited the hermitage and recognised a
similar talking bird, yet this bird talked respectfully and welcomed him to remain
there.

our way of behaving negatively.

As the race began, the rabbit ran extremely quickly and went far ahead of the
turtle and got drained. He thought there was a lot of time to relax as the turtle
was far away. Soon he slept, thinking he would win the race easily.
However, the turtle(tortoise) kept walking slowly until he arrived at the finish
line. The rabbit sees the turtle on the opposite side of the finish line. The

Man Seeking Help
After a shipwreck, a man who was the last standing figured out how to arrive at the
shore. He asked God for help. After waiting too long for God to answer his
requests, he built himself a hut for his protection with destroyed bits of a
shipwreck.
Every day he invested a lot of energy searching for food and looking at the skyline
for God's help. One day, when he returned from his food search, he found his little
hut burnt to ashes. Losing all hope, he felt helpless and shouted out of anger,
"Why God? Why do you never answer my prayers?"
After a couple of hours, a boat arrived at the shore for his rescue. The man asked
the captain of the ship, "How could you track me down?" The Captain of the ship
answered, "We saw your smoke signal for help."
The man's faith in God's will was re-established.
Moral of Story
Don't lose faith since bad things are occurring to you. God has his own particular
manner of working.
