[www.keralites.net] Story: The Bunnies and Their Mother

 





There was once a doe-rabbit who had many children. As a good mother, all day long she told them what was best for them: The herbs they should eat, the herbs they should reject, when they could go out, when they couldn't even have a peep...

"Above all," she said, "you pay attention to the date of the opening of the hunting season..."

"But how are we to know about it, if we don't read the newspapers?" asked one of the bunnies.

"As soon as you hear gun shots, even in the distance, and barking dogs, you must run for shelter," their mother warned.

One day, one of the youngest arrived at their burrow in a fright.
"I've heard shots, mother. Please hide me."

The rabbit reassured him.
"So have I, but those are not gun shots. They are rocket flares. There's a party taking place in the village. Can't you hear the music played by the band? What do you want your ears for? As long as they are amusing themselves, we can be at rest."

Some days later, the whole family was grazing when a sweet and wicked melody echoed in the air like a dancing snake... The Bunnies, who had never heard anything like it, looked inquisitively at their mother.
"We'd better go home," she said, "and stay there for a long time."

The same rabbit found it strange:
"But mother, couldn't such sweet music be another party?"
"It's no party at all. Hurry up. It's Peter Sheeper, who plays the pipe and roams around scattering disaster. He sets traps all over the place, which tear us to pieces. Oh, I shiver at the thought of them!"

A little while later, the bunny came to his mother again, and he was in great distress: "I've seen men with guns. They must be hunters."

"I've seen them, too" said his mother. "You mustn't worry about these. They are forest guards and they are collecting the traps that Peter set, because they are forbidden by law. We are free now. However, it's always good to be on guard."

Life in the woods is certainly very dangerous. Just the things a rabbit must learn to keep himself from being shot!

 
Flash: Life is a continuous journey with full of experience. Its important for us to behave like wise men who learn from the mistakes of others and keep our eyes and senses open to learn new things continuously. However, there is nothing to be really afraid of. There is always a solution to most of the problems in our lives. Its only matter of analyzing the situation and consulting with the RIGHT people.

[www.keralites.net] Story: The Crow, The Parrot and The Peacock

 



A crow lived in the forest and was absolutely satisfied in life.
 
But one day he saw a swan. "This swan is so white," he thought, "and I am so black.
 
This swan must be the happiest bird in the world."
 
He expressed his thoughts to the swan. "Actually," the swan replied, "I was feeling that I was the happiest bird around until I saw a parrot, which has two colours. I now think the parrot is the happiest bird in creation."
 
The crow then approached the parrot. The parrot explained, "I lived a very happy life—until I saw a peacock. I have only two colours, but the
peacock has multiple colours."
 
The crow then visited a peacock in the zoo and saw that hundreds of people had gathered to see him.
 
After the people had left, the crow approached the peacock. "Dear peacock," the crow said, "you are so beautiful. Every day thousands of people come to see you. When people see me, they immediately shoo me away. I think you are the happiest bird on the planet."
 
The peacock replied, "I always thought that I was the most beautiful and happy bird on the planet. But because of my beauty, I am entrapped in this zoo.
 
I have examined the zoo very carefully, and I have realized that the crow is the only bird not kept in a cage. So for past few days I have been thinking that if I were a crow, I could happily roam everywhere."
 
That's our problem too. We make unnecessary comparison with others and become sad. We don't value what God has given us. This all leads to the vicious cycle of unhappiness.


 
Have Life ahead valuing the things God has given us.
 
Learn the secret of being happy and discard the comparison which leads only to unhappiness

[www.keralites.net] As esculturas feitas de arame de Derek Kinzett

 

Derek Kinzett é um artista britânico que, a exemplo de Gavin Worth, também trabalha produzindo esculturas a partir de arame. 

Depois de montada a escultura, geralmente de figuras humanas que não raramente se apresentam em tamanho natural, o arame é galvanizado e passa por um tratamento com um spray de acrílico alumínio para ajudar na impermeabilização e acabamento da peça. O resultado são belas esculturas ocas e vazadas, ao mesmo tempo concretas e meio etéreas.

Vejam as esculturas feitas de arame de Derek Kinzett:
