Once a house was on fire and everybody was trying their best to put out the fire. One crow (First Crow) was watching the whole process from a distance. He saw a crow (Second Crow) flying back and forth between the burning house and a well, and trying to put out the fire with whatever water he could hold in his beak. The idea amused the First Crow. Once the fire was extinguished, Second Crow flew back to his nest next to First Crow’s.
First Crow asked Second Crow, “You know it wasn’t making any difference. Why you were wasting your energy?”
Second Crow replied, “At least when somebody will write this story, I will not be the one who was sitting while somebody’s house was burning.”
It is easy to be the first crow, but it needs courage to be the second; Keep trying even when you feel it is not going to make any difference.
