Short Story

SMALL THINGS, GREAT CHANGE

            In a village, there was a gigantic banyan tree. It was the sheltering place for all the birds and the squirrels. Once there was dense rain. All the birds had hidden themselves in their nests, except a squirrel and a bird. Both are very intimate friends. They ramble over the branches in the tree like a moon walk in the heavy rain. They happened to see the ant which was hazardous state; almost it was going to slip down from the branch. Both the friends run fast and saved the life of that ant. It said “Thanks” to them and they started their moon walk again.

            They happened to see the cuckoo which was trembling and tried to protect its nest. They helped cuckoo to rebuild its house. Finally, they returned to their house. In the morning, both friends went for playing. There, they saw a silkworm which was eating leaves and didn’t move anywhere. Again in the evening, they find the silkworm made a nest around itself. They realised that something is going to happen. Within few days, they saw a butterfly flew from that nest. They were astounded to look at the picture. They share the information to everyone. And they were realised even a tiny and extravagant things make them to realise something. They started to learn lessons from their ambience.
