The Cow & The Chicken
In a village farm, both a cow named Bella and a chicken named Chika lived. Bella, with her big hooves, plowed the fields and was frequently praised by the villagers for her strength and contribution. Chika, on the other hand, spent most of her days pecking at the ground, looking for worms and grains. The villagers never paid much attention to her.
One day, Bella said to Chika, “Look at me, little bird. Every day I work hard, tilling the fields, and the villagers love me for it. What do you do that's so special?”
Chika replied, “It might seem like I do very little, but every morning, I provide the villagers with fresh eggs for their breakfast. It's a different kind of contribution.”
A week later, the village faced a food shortage. The villagers could not rely on crops alone. They turned to Bella for milk and Chika for her eggs. Bella could only provide milk once a day, while Chika gave them eggs consistently each morning.
When the crisis was over, the villagers realized the importance of Chika's daily contributions. They recognized that even though her work seemed small and unnoticed, it was consistent and essential.
Bella learned a lesson too. She realized that size and strength weren’t the only indicators of worth. Everyone, no matter how small their role might seem, had their unique value and purpose.
