Lizard Story

It may be a fable or just a story but it inspires us to help someone in need. Nowadays, there is too much individualism in everybody (what is it for me?). We don’t have time for anyone but ourselves. True caring and love is letting go of self and giving all we got to someone else.

If just for a moment (forgetting about our own needs); we visit someone or have a conversation with someone, that moment means a lot to that someone.

Lizard Story

In order to renovate the house, a Japanese man breaks open the wall. Japanese houses normally have a hollow space between the wooden walls.

When tearing down the walls, he found that there was a lizard stuck there, because a nail from outside hammered into one of its feet.

He sees this, feels pity, and at the same time, curious, as when he checked the nail, it was nailed 5 years ago, when the house was first built!!!

What happened?

The lizard had survived in such a position for 5 years!!! In a dark wall partition for 5 years without moving, it is impossible and mind-boggling.

Then he wondered how this lizard survived for 5 years without moving a single inch, since its foot was nailed!

So he stopped his work and observed the lizard, what it has been doing, and what and how it has been eating.

Later, not knowing from where it came, appears another lizard, with food in its mouth.

Ah! He was stunned and touched deeply.

For the lizard that was stuck by nail, another lizard has been feeding it for the past 5 years.

Imagine? It has been doing that untiringly for 5 long years, without giving up hope on its partner. Imagine what a small creature can do, that a creature blessed with a brilliant mind cannot do.

Moral of the Story

Please, never abandon your loved ones. Don't turn your back on people because they are in difficulty.

***Be there for somebody today...........everyday***
