Many years ago there lived a very old man
Before his house stood two tall mountains that
kept out the sunlight
He was not happy about this
and so he sat down with his sons and
all made a solemn promise that they would hack back away those two mountains
A neighbor saw them go out with their hoes and shook his head
How stupid can you get? he screamed
It's absolutely impossible for you to carry away those mighty mountains
The old man only smiled and said
Well, when I die, my sons will carry on the work
And when they die, my grandsons will continue it
Yes, the mountains are high but they won't get any higher
But our strength can still grow
With every shovel full of earth that we carry away
we come closer to our goal
It is better to do something than just sit around
and complain that those mountains keep out the sunlight
With complete conviction the old man kept right on digging
God saw it and was moved to send two angles to earth
They lifted the two mountains onto their shoulders
and carried them off
%%%%%%
Best Wishes
