A bee was drinking nectar sitting on bunch of flower.
The nectar was so tasty that it was drinking and drinking not leaving the flower.
Seeing this Flower said “O bee! While I am ready to give you entire nectar, but if your hunger is satiated leave me soon for others to drink.”
“The irresistible taste of your nectar is so great that I cannot stop drinking” said bee.
Flower patiently said” Beware of dangers befall on you dear! Excessive indulgence is making you loose to think of any thing.”
“Please don’t disturb me. Let me drink, let me drink” said bee and continued drinking nectar.
Mean while a bird flew near by searching for pray…..the huge wings gave a big shadow from distance…., the bee tried to fly away but could not as its stomach is too heavy to fly to safe place…. Was helplessly looking around crawling.
The gentle hearted flower bowed down little hiding the bee between leaves. The bird flew away and bee was saved!!!
Taking a long breath bee said thanks to sweet flower for its kindness.
Moral : When patience and tolerance is developed the way to develop kindness becomes easy to tread.
