  • We are constantly being bombarded by problems that we face

  • and sometimes we can get completely overwhelmed

  • the story of this humming bird is about this huge forest

  • being consumed by the fire

  • all the animals in the forest came out

  • and they are transfixed as they watched the forest burning

  • and they feel very overwhelmed

  • very powerless

  • except this little humming bird

  • it says: I'm going to do something about the fire

  • so it flies to the nearest stream

  • it takes a drop of water

  • and puts it on the fire

  • and goes up and down, up and down, up and down

  • as fast as it can

  • in the mean time, all the other animals ...

  • much bigger animals like the elephant, with a big trunck

  • could bring much more water

  • They are standing there helpless

  • and they are saying to the humming bird

  • what do you think you can do?

  • You are too little,

  • This fire is so big

  • your wings are too little !!!

  • and your beak is so small that can bring only a small drop of water.

  • at a time that, as they continue to discourage it

  • it turns to them without wasting any time

  • and tells them:

  • I am doing the best I can

  • and that to me

  • is what all of us should do

  • We should always feel like a humming bird

  • I may feel insignificant,

  • but I certainly don't want to be

  • like the animals watching the planet goes down the drain

  • I will be a humming bird!

  • I will do the best I can.

We are constantly being bombarded by problems that we face
