Here is how it goes:
One day, an immense fire threatened to destroy the forest. Although all the animals, except the little Hummingbird, were terrified, and had lost heart in the face of such a disaster yet the little Hummingbird did not throw in the towel.
Bravely she went to work, looking for drops of water that she collected into her small beak and threw upon the fire, one by one.
After some time, the Armadillo, not seeing any change and irritated by all this pathetic activity, said to her: "Little Hummingbird, are you crazy? Don't you see that you'll never be able to put out the fire with so few drops of water?"
And the little Hummingbird said to him: "I know! But, I'm doing my part!"
For if drops of water are what make up the oceans, then those same drops could put out the fire!
For wherever disaster may strike, those who believe in life and honor living things must never stand still, looking on helplessly, their arms crossed. On the contrary, they must make a contribution, no matter how modest it may be, to battle against the fires of the soul that result directly from the shady tricks of those who want to do harm to our Mother Earth!
This legend which has been recounted by many storytellers around the world gives heart to those who believe in the omnipotence of life.
For nothing is ever lost as long as there is life, and as long as there is eternel hope!
