THE POWER OF PRAYER - STORY 2

        There lived a family of cuckoo birds on a treetop. The mother bird laid many eggs and all of them hatched out into beautiful cuckoo chicks. One among them was a disabled chick The mother bird was very affectionate with this chick.




          So was the father bird too. Both the parents took turns to feed the chick. One day, there was a big forest fire. It was spreading fast too. All birds and animals vacated the place in fear. The father bird said to his chicks, "Fly away children. Fly away to safety." The mother bird asked with sorrow in her throat, "How can we leave this poor chick that can't even walk?" The parents decided to stay with the chick.

             The disabled chick started praying earnestly, "Oh Lord, please quench the forest fire and save all the animals. Look at the affection and love my parents have for me. You are the Father of the world. Don't you have affection like that of my parents?" What a surprise! The forest was drenched by sudden rain and the forest fire was quenched.


Moral: EARNEST PRAYERS ARE ANSWERED POSITIVELY!!!
