We have heard that when more people are involved it is more effective . 'It takes a village' To some extent it may be true . I alone can not change the world. But there there are stories where one has to do it or at least start what one wants to change . There was this short story where a man is walking on a seashore . He saw a n another man walking ahead of him . As the tide came i some fish would be blown to sand and out side the water . This man was picking them up and throwing in water. The man who was walking behind him watched it and said to him ,you are doing this while you are walking and what difference would it make?The man who was throwing the fish in water answered after he picked up one more and while throwing it in water said 'it made a difference to THIS one .'So YES one has to do what one feels is right. But the story that that I am going to tell is from old Isapniti or Panchtantra . IN these books the ISAP who was a slave could understand what the animals or bird were talking and the same is true in Panchtantra . So the story is from one of the books .
There was a bird who had made a nest on the branches of a tree. She laid the eggs in it and they hatched . The young one came out. The owner of that farm was passing by one day and he saw the out grown branches of the tree and told his servant that he should cut these branches . The mother bird was not in the nest . So when she came back the young ones were scared and told the mother that we have to move as the farmer is going to cut the branches of the tree where the nest is there. So the mother asj=ked as to what happened . The kids told her the entire story. as to how the farmer told the servant cut the branches. The mother told the kids not to worry . Couple of more days passed and the farmer was passing by and he saw the tree and was not happy the branches are not cut.He told the servant again that these brnches must be cut in next 1 week . The mother came home to the nest and the kids told her the story . Ther were afraid and were scared . The mother again told her that 'don't worry'. The farmer was again walking in next 4 days and he saw that the branches were not trimmed as he has told the servant several times , he got angry and told his wife who was with him that he has been telling the servants and the work is not done and so he is going to do it that afternoon himself.When the mother came to know about it from her kids she told them , it is time to leave.
The moral of both the stories is that when one wants to get a job done He or She has to do himself or herself. When one asks others to do it it may or may not be done .
