Make the world a better place
In the lap of forest once lived a donkey. On a fine afternoon, after a nice full meal, the donkey was resting underneath a coconut tree. He got nothing to do, so he let himself sink in thoughts, a whole lot of negative thoughts!
He thought, what would happen if the whole world just collapsed? Just as he was thinking....he heard a loud noise!! Upon hearing the noise, the donkey opened his eyes and he saw the rising clouds of dust, and he immediately believed that its the world collapsing exactly as he imagined it. The donkey ran in panic.
On his way another donkey saw him running and when asked he informed him about the world that is collapsing. The donkey spread the same word to the monkeys, bears, birds and every living being in the forest. All of them started to run and howl in panic.
The lion king who was having a nap, was disturbed by the panic. He woke up and came across the news of the world collapsing and he asked everyone to assemble. The King analysed the situation and asked everyone how they came to the conclusion that the world is collapsing. Everyone took names of the other one and finally all the fingers tended to point towards the donkey. Now the king asked the donkey how he came to spread such a message.
The Donkey explained the situation wherein he heard the loud noise and the rising dust. The lion took the donkey and other animals to the coconut tree where the donkey was resting a while ago.
The noise the donkey heard was from a bunch of coconut that fell down from a tall coconut tree in the wind, it was the same wind that caused the dust to rise. All the animals realized their mistake. Everyone heard the word and spread the word without checking the facts.
Fact in gossip is like plain porridge being publicized as the spicy oysters Rockefeller, if we look for the spicy oyster Rockefeller, we will never get to it because there isn't any!
The food for thought here is “The world will be a much better place if we can talk to each other than talk about each other”
