A mama bird and a papa bird lived atop a tree by the side of a river. They built a beautiful nest and laid three pink eggs. They carefully guarded the nest and waited for the chicks to emerge. One day a storm arose and shook the tree and the nest fell into the river. The birds were deeply sorrowful. They prayed very hard but nothing happened.
The birds made two leaf cups and started taking water from the river and emptying them on the bund. Tirelessly they did the job in the hope of finding their nest. A passer by saw the birds and asked them what they were doing. When they explained to him, he laughed them to scorn and said, “You can never empty the river and you can never find your eggs. You better quit and do something useful.”
Though the birds were disheartened, when the man went away they continued to empty the river. Suddenly an angel appeared from the river with the nest and eggs and gave them to the birds. The birds were surprised and overjoyed. They asked the angel, “Why didn’t you give us our nest as soon as we prayed? Why did you wait so long?” The angel replied, “I just wanted to see what you would do about it. When you persisted in spite of iscouragement I knew you were sincere and hardworking. So I decided to bless you.” So saying the angel disappeared.
Miracles happen if you work hard enough!
