The hummingbird, though, kept flying over the flaming forest back and forward. What are you doing hummingbird? Asked the animal’s concerned. - I am bringing water from the river to extinguish the fire! But that is a crazy thing to do – thought the animals. - You are too small... it will never work! Give it up... - That is true – said the hummingbird – but I have to try for this is the only thing I can do. I am just doing my share... If everybody would take their responsibility, the world would be a better place to live. ........ Be part of the Hummingbird Effect!
