THE RIVER AND THE MOUNTAIN

REWRITTEN BY BOOK BOX

one day the river thought to herself

do I have to keep flowing all my life


can't I stop and rest for a little while

she needed advice so she called out to the mountain and shared her thoughts
with him. the mountain just laughed and said

hey look at me I have been standingin the same place for ages

the river replied

you are firm and fixed in one place,how could you ever get tired?. Look at me, I
have to be on the move all the time. I don't get to rest for even a singel minute!.

the mountain smiled

that is how you see it, but I get tired of standing here

he replied

every day I see the same trees and the same patch of sky
sometimes I wish. if only I could run around like the river
I would visit new forests and villages
I would water their fields
give life and be so deeply loved by all

the River interrupted

that's strange your life is so comfortable and peaceful yet you feel this way

you don't get it my sister


you were worshipped by everyone

the mountain replied lovingly

you flow for the sake of others and that's not all
after giving away so much you offer whatever remains to the sea

on hearing, this the river bowed down to the mountain and sets with great
enthusiasm.\

you are absolutely right my brother


the true purpose of my life is to give life to others
thank you for your kind wisdom

she said, then while the mountain smiled at her newfound positive energy
she gushed away with a loud gurgle feeling very happy
