When someone is doing "great," remember this parable ...
Around us is full of experts, gurus and "sweet-hearted" narrators. But are the loudest ones the most informed? Can one be trusted by those who have not crossed the boundaries of their own limited worldview and who, by nature, have no "wings" to fly farther from their own yard? Look at a fun parable in whose story you may recognize a character from your own environment or from our surrounding reality.
Chicken traveler
The autumn came and the swallows began to prepare for the long road to the south. They cheerfully cheered and only waited for the northern wind to make their way. The curious hen has listened to their thirst and decided that it is very exciting and interesting to go south in the distant warm countries.
"Why not go with them?" "You told me the hen, and she was too busy for a trip.
The next day, the swallows gathered, lifted up in the sky, and headed for the long voyage. The chicken, too, tried to fly, but only jumped, snapped her wings, and jumped over the hedge's fence. Then, continuing to fly, she jumped over the fence of the yard, and also headed in the direction of the swallows.
Running the hen, jumping, waving wings and crossing even the country road. Finally, she reached the next garden. She turned around, looked around and decided to come back.
The next day she returned to the bird yard and told everyone how she had flown to the south, how many new and interesting things she had seen, what beautiful unfamiliar land she had been ... She saw an orchard of trees she had never seen, met other birds, and even met the gardener ... It was so exciting to the south! Did she tell the traveler ...
- That's interesting! How bold you are! - the bird yard buzzed and secretly envied her.
Winter passed, spring came. And the Swallow came back from the south. Swallows began to tell about the sea, the warm southern lands. But none of the bird yards was intrigued by their narrative.
"Our hen has told us everything," they all said in one voice. - She has long since come back from her, she knows everything!
So the hen was recognized by all as an expert in the southern countries.
Much love - Krisii
