1. The Humming-bird’s share
An Amerindian tale
de Sébastien Juras

2. Once upon a time there was a beautiful forest,

3. that provided
everything that its
inhabitants needed to
live happily.

4. One day, an enormous fire, destroyed this beautiful forest.

5. All the animals
sought shelter and
watched their
beautiful forest
disappear in front
of their eyes.

6. Except, one little
humming-bird was
busy, …

7. Collecting droplets of water with its beak in the
neighbouring lake,

8. To throw them on the gigantic fire.

9. Tirelessly, it continued,
going back and forth
collecting droplets.

10. Annoyed by this
ridiculous agitation,
the ostrich said:
« Humming-bird,
you must be crazy!
It’s not with these
little droplets that
you are going to
stop this fire! »

11. By Sébastien Juras
And the humming-bird answered :
« I know, but I’m doing my share. »
