The Mouse And The Milk
One day in the barn, some mice were running along a beam when it broke and all the mice fell into a churn of milk.The mice began to swim around and around but after a while some of them got tired and stopped swimming. "don't give up" squeaked one little mouse."keep swimming" But the other mice didn't listen, they were tired, hopeless, undetermined. They stopped swimming and eventually drown in the milkThe commotion caught the attention of the other animals in the barn and they gathered around the top of the urn."You'll never make it, Give it up, it's impossible" they all yelled down at him. But the little mouse kept kicking his little arms and legs furiously. After a while the other animals got bored of watching and went about their usual day, sleeping, sitting around doing nothing and gossiping. They enjoyed telling each other how the little mouse would never make it.Meanwhile the mouses little friend looked into the urn and saw his friend swimming around and around. he didn't want his best friend to fail, he didn't want his best friend to die. he started to shout down words of encouragement. "That's it, keep swimming, keep it up, you can do it, I believe in you"Encouraged by his friends words, the little mouse began to kick even more, he kicked and swam, and kicked, and waved his arms and kicked some more.Then an amazing thing happened. The little mouse swam and kicked and waved so hard, that he turned the milk into butter. Once the butter was thick enough the little mouse climbed up and out of the churn and walked away with his friend. Much to the surprise of the other animals.The moral? Well I am sure you figured that out for yourself.Many people will (and probably have) told you to "give up, it wont work, don't make waves, go with the flow " etc. But if you want to be successful, If you REALLY want what you say you want, then you need to be like the little mouse and never give up, no matter what the other animals in the barn tell you.
