The Humming-bird’s share An Amerindian
tale
de Sébastien Juras
Once upon a time there was a beautiful forest,
that provided everything that its inhabitants needed to live
happily.
One day, an enormous fire, destroyed this beautiful forest.
All the animals sought shelter and watched their beautiful
forest disappear in front of their
eyes.
Except, one little
humming-bird was busy, …
Collecting droplets of water with its beak in the neighbouring lake,
To throw them on the gigantic fire.
Tirelessly, it continued, going back and forth
collecting droplets.
Annoyed by this ridiculous agitation, the ostrich said:
« Humming-bird, you must be crazy! It’s
not with these little droplets that you are going to stop
this fire! »
By Sébastien Juras
And the humming-bird answered :
« I know, but I’m doing my share. »
