| Feather of an arrow  Once, the children requested their teacher to tell them a story. The teacher said, "Listen. The first and foremost thing in life is that you should not consider anybody as unwanted. This is because; every one has something to contribute in this world. I am telling a story in this regard. A bird once shredded off an old feather from its wing. The feather floated in the air for some time and then fell down on the ground. Suddenly, a gush of wind came from nowhere and flew the feather mercilessly hither and thither. The feather started crying seeing its own condition. It said to itself, "There was a time when fixed to the wing; I was flying around in the sky. I was even moving comfortably in the wind. But look at my fate, how I am lying on the ground today. The wind is blowing me in any direction as it desires. After some time, a child arrived there. He picked up the feather and kept it inside his bag. There were other feathers in his bag. The feather became a little comfortable. At least there is someone who is looking for helpless ones like it. The child took the feathers to his home. The father of the child was busy doing something. The father took that feather and bound it in a specific way with few other feathers. Then he fixed the bunch of feathers to the end a bamboo stick. He fixed a sharp piece of iron at the other end. A beautiful arrow was created this way. The next day, both the father and the son started out for hunting. Suddenly seeing something, the hunter fixed the arrow on the bow and released it in a lightening speed. The arrow started moving piercing through the heart of the wind. At that time, the wind said to the feather, "Do you see how you are moving ahead today piercing me. You are not helpless today. Your role is the most important in the success of this arrow. This is because you are providing the required balance to the arrow. If you are not there, the arrow is worthless even with the sharpest iron piece on the arrowhead." The teacher said, "Remember, none of you ever think yourselves to be unwanted. There is some role for every one in this creation of God." * * *  Praying for a life full of peace and contentment for all, Prince |
