Once the forest caught fire. All the animals in the forest ran to the field to save their lives. Everyone was watching burn to her favorite abode. All the animals and birds were present there. At this time the cuckoo was trying to put out fire by taking little water from the nearest stream in its tiny mouth. Seeing this work, the animals of the forest began to make fun of him. The elephant said, "Will the wildfire be reduced by your little drops of water ?"Why are you trying so hard?People will laugh at your stupid work. The cuckoo replied in a soft voice. 'Gajraj! I know that pouring water reduces fire'. So I'm pouring water on the trees. I don't have a trunk like yours that I can pour water on and protect a lot of trees from fire. When the human race will write the history of wildfires of this forest, there will be the names of koils like us in an attempt to extinguish the fire. The next generation of human beings will read this story and know that there was no attempt to extinguish the fire even though there were huge elephants in that forest, for which the animals in the forest were extinct. They will appreciate the small efforts of little birds like us for this. They will not condemn us as you do. The efforts of our Koil race will forever be inscribed in the golden letters of history.


Gajraj liked koil's words. He roared in the field to call the other elephants. More than the thousand elephants, small and large, arrived . Everyone brought water from the stream at the bottom of the hill with their trunk and sprayed it on the trees. The forest was soon extinguished. All the animals and birds in the forest praised Koil and made Gajraj triumphant .



After telling the story, the teacher told children that, "jungle's fire was extinguished because of Koil's intelligence and her small effort. " 


If we cooperate without condemning anyone's small efforts, all the problems in society can be solved easily.
