Sincerity

Ants are small creatures. They even unnoticed many times in our society unless and until they do some harm to us. In a small hole near to Ram's house, several ants were staying together. One day Ram noticed, they all are going in a line to somewhere. When Ram tried to track the line, he ended up with a pile of sugar cubes, that those ants were collecting. That makes Ram very interesting. He was observing keenly to them. All the ants were maintaining a disciplined line, well-coordinated with each other and passing small fragments of sugar to each other to maintain a healthy understanding among themselves.

The next day, Ram again observed them collecting crunched biscuits and transferring them into their hole. This also was interesting for Ram. He observed this pattern of collecting and storing food by the ants on a regular basis. Then he asked his grandmother, "Granny, why these ants are storing food every day? Why don't they just eat and finish at the time of collection only?" His grandmother smiled at him and said, "Ram, these tiny ants are storing their food for the future. Particularly, during the rainy season, it becomes difficult to come out of their holes for collecting food. And who knows there won't be a scarcity of food in the future, if so happens, then what will they eat. To troubleshoot all these upcoming problems, they all get prepared for the adverse situations. They are small but very sincere and laborious regarding their duties. We should learn from them.

Ram was so very impressed by the sincerity of these ants and learned a lot from those small creatures. He also told his grandmother to follow this discipline in his own life.

MORAL OF THE STORY- Sincerity and discipline are the most important keys to a harmonious life.
