Yes this is really a wonderful story and unfortunately so true.
How great it is to get so much understanding in such a small story.
Thank you for telling.
Beautiful tale, it reminds this shocking saying: “Earth provides enough to satisfy every man’s need but not enough for any man’s greed” Mahatma Gandhi
