THE TEACHING OF THE HUMMINGBIRD:
​
One day there was a large forest fire that broke out. All the wild animals ran for their lives. They stood at the edge of the blaze, watching the flames in terror and sadness. Above their heads, a hummingbird flew steadily back and forth to the fire. The bigger animals asked the tiny little bird what she was doing. She replied, “I am flying to the lake to get water to help put out the fire.” All the animals began to laugh at her and said, “You can’t put out this fire by yourself!” The tiny hummingbird responded, “I’m doing what I can.”
