Lessons from Nature: Being alert


One sunny afternoon as I was watching over the garden from the first floor and admiring the chickens and rabbits that I love very much, something unusual happened.
            Before this could happen the chickens were busy pecking the ground in search of food while the rabbits were feasting over the cauliflower leaves that were given them. A few rabbits were fighting among themselves to get the leaves that were fresh and juicy. All occupied with feeding and fighting suddenly with their ears raised high up in the air they paused. It was as though somebody had said ‘freeze’, the way would do while playing when we were little. Before I could grasp the situation the rabbits were gone and the hens were running helter-skelter. A dog had entered the garden. The chickens called out for help with their loud crowing. I along with another friend of mine ran to chase the dog away. The situation was under control and than I laughed aloud as I saw a few of the rabbits pocking their heads out of the hutches to see if all was well.

Moral: Even when you’re busy with something important be aware of what happening around you. It way cost you your life.
