A COWARDLY BAT

Long, long ago,a lion, the king of animals was about to eat a juicy meal, when his morsel was snatched away by the eagle, the king of birds.this enraged the lion, and he declared war against the birds. At night, in the dark, birds can't see anything, so the animals started attacking them with stones and sticks.

     The birds being caught unawares, were badly injured and suffered alot of casualties.They were finally helped and taken to a safe place by the Owl, who could see in the dark.

   The Bat, who was watching all this, quitely folded it's wings and went to the lion, "My Lord" he said,"As you can see I am a relative of the mouse and I offer you my service, I shall fight with you even if it cost me my life."

   The lion was impressed by the Bat's courage and allowed h to join the animals' army.After a few day's rest, when the birds had recouped they decided to avenge their defeat one day, all of them took pebbles in their beaks and attacked the animals. The animals were taken by surprise and suffered alot of damage.

   Some birds were also bold enough to glide down and pinch the animals with their beaks and scratch them with their claws. The animals, however, finally took shelter in the caves and holes in the earth. the Bat who was seeing all this, quitely went with his wings spread out to the eagle and said, "Sir! you can see i am a bird and it's my duty to fight the animals with you. I shall serve you with all my might till my last day."

So saying, he now joined the birds.

    The animals again after some time waged war against the birds and again the Bat changed sides. This kept happening for a while. In the end, the animals and the birds finally realised the Bat's dual game. Both the animals and the birds realised the frutility of fighting against each other and made friends. They all bycotted the bat and since that day the bat feeling ashamed lives in the caves.

a special kind of wolf

Tasmanian Wolf or Thylacine, Thylacinus cynocephalus

The Tasmanian Wolf is not a wolf, but a carnivorous marsupial and a relative of wombats and kangaroos.  It even has a pouch.   Tasmanian officials promoting ranching paid bounties to hunters.  Believed to be extinct for well over half a century, unconfirmed reported sightings persist. 

Beauty of birds

The beauty of the trees, the softness of the air,
the fragrance of the grass speaks to me.
The summit of the mountain, the thunder of the sky,
The rhythm of the sea, speaks to me.
The faintness of the stars, the freshness of the morning,
the dewdrop on the flower, speaks to me.
The strength of the fire, the taste of salmon, the trail of the sun,
and the life that never goes away, they speak to me
And my heart soars.

Poems About Nature And How Much You Love Your Earth

 

Teach your children
what we have taught our children –
that the earth is our mother
Whatever befalls the earth
befalls the sons and daughters of the earth.
If men spit upon the ground,
they spit upon themselves.
This we know
The earth does not belong to us,
we belong to the earth
This we know
All things are connected
like the blood which unites one family.
All things are connected.
Whatever befalls the earth
befalls the sons and daughters of the earth.
We do not weave the web of life,
We are merely a strand in it.
Whatever we do to the web,
we do to ourselves.
