At the beginning of winter, the cicada asked the ant if she could lend her food. The ant then replied “what did you do this summer”? The cicada answered “I was singing”.

The moral of this tale is simple: you must only rely on yourself and not to wait at the last moment to do the important things and counting on other's help to survive is not a success strategy.

When God came down to the city and saw what the people were doing, He became very angry. He decided to put a stop to their construction by making sure that nobody could understand the other. God made sure that all the people there began to speak a different language so that neighbours could no longer understand each other. When people tried to communicate, it turned into a whole babble of confused voices. Soon, everyone who spoke the same language left the city together, and in this way, they spread out across the world, taking their different languages with them.
The pride of the people of Babylon led to their downfall, just like Satan, they wanted to be like God. We must humble ourselves before the Lord.

The next day she found another traveler who was starving, and the wise woman opened her bag to share her meal.

The hungry traveler saw the precious stone and asked the woman if she give it to her.

The woman did it without hesitation.

The traveler left, enjoying his good fortune. He knew the stone was worthy enough to give him security for life. But a few days later he returned to return the stone to the wise woman.

"I reflected" - he said - "on the value of the stone, but I give it back to you with the hope that you can give me something even more precious". Then he added:

"Give me what you have inside you that allowed you to give me the stone". ]]> 2019-04-02 20:42:24 UTC https://padlet.com/mark_mckenna/GLO420Stories/wish/347833035
