Team Work can work wonders

[Guest guest]

A flock of hungry pigeons were flying across the sky in search of

food. Having traveled a long distance, they felt tired and settled

down on a tree. Just below the tree, they saw grains strewn all over

the ground. The pigeons were happy to have found enough food to eat.

All the pigeons came down from the tree and started eating the

grains. As they were doing so, a huge net fell on them and trapped

them all.

 

The pigeons were taken aback. They noticed a hunter sitting at a

distance from the tree, a bow and arrow in hand. The pigeons realized

it was the hunter who had attracted them by strewing the grains and

it was he who had trapped them in the net. The hunter got up and

began to move towards the pigeons.

 

The leader of the pigeons spoke, " Friends, we are in great trouble.

The hunter will catch us if we do not act swiftly in a few seconds.

There is only one option available at this moment. Let all of us use

our force together and fly up along with the net. If all of us use

our force and fly together, we can fly carrying the net along with

us. Let us start now. "

 

All the pigeons agreed with him and flew high carrying the net along

with them. After traveling sufficient distance away from the hunter,

the pigeons settled on a tree and carefully came out of the net one

by one and thus escaped the evil design of the hunter.
