A small bird had nestled by a sea. His days were passing well. Tired of flying while he returned home he loves to hear the roar of the sea. Days go by and months go by. It is time to lay eggs of the bird and it lays eggs too. One day while the bird returned home it noticed that there were no eggs.The bird searched for its eggs here and there like crazy but did not find any of them.Then the bird went to the sea and asked about the eggs.
The sea smiles but does not say anything. The bird finds the sea suspicious. He repeatedly asked the sea to return his eggs but the sea refused to take. The bird begged him to return the eggs but the naughty sea did not listen to him.Then the bird gets very angry and said "I will take back my eggs for sure" The sea replied, "Let's see" with a smile like a villain.
Then the bird dug a hole with its beak in the distance and brought water from the sea to put in the hole. The condition of the sea was like die to laughing at the childish behaviour of the bird . The sea said,"Hey brother bird,how are you entertaining me?Do you even know how many billions of years it will take millions of bird like you to transfer my water to another place?"
The bird replied, "No matter how the criminal is huge, his fall is certain and no matter how small the diligence or efforts his victory is also certain." The bird continued its work day and night.Whenever it got tired it take a little rest and eats whatever get from the surroundings. He didn't want to waste time after sleeping and eating.
Seeing his condition all the birds around him began to understood him that in this way he will never be successful. It is not possible to succeed in this task especially to dry the sea water.A few birds started to scolding and laughing a lot. The bird did not listen to anyone and was doing his work continuously.
Seeing his stubbornness some well wishers of the bird went to work with him and some birds began to pray to their god (According to Egyptian theory the god of bird is Thoth and according to Hindu mythology Garuda is the god of bird) to help the bird.
The god of birds took some days and observe the bird.He saw that the bird was steadfast in its goal.The work that is impossible is also being done with some invisible power and morale.The god of bird was satisfied over the bird.He ordered the sea to move and return the eggs of the bird.
The sea moved away at the behest of the gods. The bird disguised like a hero and took back his eggs. Though the story is allegorical but its teaching is very effective. The lessons we can learn from this story are-
1.The stronger the criminal is,the more he will fail.
2.At the same time small efforts lead to success.
3. When you wants to do any job many of your friends or relatives or other persons will laugh,scold. Ignoring those reprimands if you can work you will be the succeed person.
4. If you believe in Allah, The Almighty never lose hope and faith in him.Sometimes he tests the patience of his servant.He knows every things.He knows about our good and bad Especially the legitimate demands of his servant.He never return anyone empty handed.If your intention is good then he will help you for sure. He loves the hardworking and patient people decidedly. So always be positive and have faith in The Almighty.
