The Arrogant Ants
There is a small forest with lush and lush trees in Spain. The forest became a comfortable place for some animals, including deer, rabbits, birds, snakes, rhinos, ants, butterflies, and so on. The animals live in peace and tranquility there.
One afternoon, a huge storm suddenly hit the forest. Animals who were preoccupied to find food then ran and immediately saved themselves to their homes. The wind broke the twigs and even knocked down some big trees.
"Kraaaak ... dust!" so the sound of the tree that fell because of the big storm. Luckily, there were no casualties in the disaster. The animals live safely in their homes. In the evening, the storm was over. The animals then sleep comfortably in their respective homes to welcome a better and brighter morning.
The chirping of the birds welcomes a beautiful and cool morning. The sun is still shy to reveal its form. A newly built ant then goes outdoors for a walk, enjoying the neighborhood.
"Waaah, many trees are falling apart," said the Ant, concerned. He did not think that the damage caused by the storm yesterday afternoon was so severe.
"Today I'm going round to see the condition of the forest," thought the Ants. Then he walked around the forest. In one of the fallen trees, he saw a cocoon that hung on one of the twigs. Ants approach him and observe him.
"Well, pity you, because you can only stay there, can not go anywhere," Ants mock the Cocoon. "There's a lot of good and amazing scenery around here, lucky! I'm lucky to walk around and see the beautiful scenery here."
Hearing the taunts of the Ants, the Cocoon is silent. He remained solemn in his cocoon. He does not want to harm himself by serving the taunt of the Ant. Realizing he was not addressed, the Ant went from there and continued his journey.
A few days later, Ants are walking around again. He loves walking the streets.
For him, roads can entertain the heart and please the mind. It was raining just then.
There was a puddle of water everywhere. Ants are careful to pass through the streets so as not to slip into a pool of water.
But unfortunately, on one occasion, he did not realize that the road in his path is muddy. So he was trapped there, can not go anywhere. In fact his safety was threatened because the muddy road seemed to pull his body so he almost drowned.
"Please! Please help me!" screamed the Ant.
Two or three times asking for help, not a single animal came. This is because the area is quite quiet. No animals live there.
"Looks like my story just got here," thought the Ants, almost desperate.
"Hi, you what?" suddenly there was a voice that was out of nowhere. The ant celingak celinguk, looking for the source of the sound.
"Hi, I'm here," the voice said again.
The Ant raised his head. Olala ... on it was a very beautiful butterfly flying. Its colorful wings with very beautiful motifs extend so gracefully. Ants are very happy to see the butterfly. That means someone can save him.
"Butterfly, help me! Get me out of this mud!" pleaded the ant with a pitiful face.
"Of course I will help you," Butterfly replied with a smile, soothing. "But before, did you recognize me? We used to meet you, you know."
The Ants tried to remember, but then he shook his head. "I do not remember," he said.
"This is me, the cocoon you once mocked," said the Butterfly. "Now I've turned into a flying butterfly and gone everywhere, exploring the beauty of the forest."
The Ant was astonished. He did not think that the beautiful butterfly he was seeing was once the cocoon he once mocked. Immediately he felt embarrassed when he remembered the bad behavior first.
Butterflies fly near the Ants, and then draw the ants so the little animal gets rid of the mud that traps it.
"You are okay?" asked the Butterfly.
"Yeah, I'm fine," replied the Ant, timidly. "I'm sorry butterfly, because I used to make fun of you."
"Yes, it's okay," Butterfly replied with a soft smile. "The important thing is that you do not repeat it again, are not we equally God's creatures?" Therefore, it is not fitting that we mock each other. "
Ants nodded steadily. He promised not to repeat the act first. He has learned his lesson. Since then, ants and butterflies are good friends. They help each other. If any one needs help, then the other one will help.
The wisdom:
God created us all with their respective advantages and disadvantages. We must not mock others, because that means it has taunted the God who created us. It's better to live with each other in mutual help.
