The story of the hummingbird

One day a terrible fire broke out in a forest - a huge woodlands was suddenly engulfed by a raging
wild fire. Frightened, all the animals fled their homes and ran out of the forest. As they came to the
edge of a stream they stopped to watch the fire and they were feeling very discouraged and
powerless. They were all bemoaning the destruction of their homes. Every one of them thought
there was nothing they could do about the fire, except for one little hummingbird.
This particular hummingbird decided it would do something. It swooped into the stream and picked
up a few drops of water and went into the forest and put them on the fire. Then it went back to the
stream and did it again, and it kept going back, again and again and again. All the other animals
watched in disbelief; some tried to discourage the hummingbird with comments like, "Don't bother,
it is too much, you are too little, your wings will burn, your beak is too tiny, it’s only a drop, you
can't put out this fire."
And as the animals stood around disparaging the little bird’s efforts, the bird noticed how hopeless
and forlorn they looked. Then one of the animals shouted out and challenged the hummingbird in a
mocking voice, "What do you think you are doing?" And the hummingbird, without wasting time or
losing a beat, looked back and said, "I am doing what I can."

A beautiful story narrated in May 2006 by Wangari Maathai, Nobel Peace Laureate.

Teaching this fable for use in eRepublik:

With the help of coordinated way of all citizens of Nigeria and friends of arms, with the increase in the determination of the occupied regions and donations of money, even if in small quantities for use in COs, sooner or later we're breaking free occupation of Greece!

I do not know how I got to this association, but I think it is a good opportunity to post the Fable of the Hummingbird.
I also think that the last pills are not making any effect on my mind. I'll have to try electroshock 😛
