The story I like to share.....

 This is a poignant story.

Nothing unlikely

Nothing out of the ordinary

But that implants itself in my memory.

That this is humanity

Though the characters are not human..... nevertheless it teaches us not to be greedy.

As usual, when I wash the dishes, my interest wanders off to the lawn beyond my window.

I like to watch the birds, the couple of chickens that usually descend upon the leftover food I threw on the ground. Yes, I purposely threw leftover rice, noodles, bread freely on the ground so that the birds could have their meal.

I enjoy watching them . A variety of birds could be seen coming in groups or solo . Its like a fun fair. But free of charge and with replenishment. 

This morning I was privy to a scene.

The bigger bird

I was wondering why that solitary bigger bird was walking to and fro along the kerb. He stopped now and then. Like waiting for someone.

The piece of papaya was there for him to savour.

But no... he just kept walking up and down.

Then a smaller bird descended on the food. Then I understood.

The merbah wouldnt eat alone. He's waiting for company.So not greedy.

The duo then pecked happily on the papaya oblivious to others and ME!

The big n small bird

A lesson I learnt  today. Dont be greedy. Dah kaya usah tamak lagi...

Setiap kali membasuh pinggan,

Mata meleret ke hujung laman

Kisah burung jadi tarikan

Boleh diajari satu dua teladan.

Walau berlainan bangsa dan kasta

Harmoni itu pegangan mereka

Rezeki yg ada dikongsi bersama

Walau sedikit atau banyak yg dijumpa

Bkn mcm kita

Yg kaya bertambah kaya

Hasil rasuah, kroni dan salah guna kuasa.

Kita yg marhaen, pandai pandailah nak survive dlm kecelaruan yg ada.
