A TOUCHING TAIL ABOUT A LIZARD.I am told this is a true story that happened in Japan.
In order to renovate the house, someone in Japan breaks open the wall. Japanese houses normally have a hollow space between the wooden walls.
When tearing down the walls, he found that there was a lizard stuck there
because a nail from outside hammered into one of its feet.
He sees this, feels pity, and at the same time curious, as when he checked the nail,
it was nailed 10 years ago when the house was first built.
What happened? The lizard has survived in such position for 10 years! In a dark wall partition for 10 years without moving,
it is impossible and mind boggling.
Then he wondered how this lizard survived for 10 years!
without moving a single step--since its foot was nailed!
So he stopped his work and observed the lizard, what it has been doing, and there appears another lizard, with food in its mouth.
Ahh! He was stunned and touched deeply.
For the lizard that was stuck by nail, another lizard has been feeding it for the past 10 years.
Such help! Such a beautiful love! Such happened even with this tiny creature.
What can help do?
It can do wonders!
Help can do miracles! Imagine? It has been doing that untiringly for 10 long years,
Without giving up hope on its partner.
Think, will u do that to your partner?
Think that you will do it for your Mother, Who brought you into this world after carrying you within for NINE long months?
Or at least to your Dad, Friends, Co-workers, Brothers and Sisters?
Imagine what a small creature can do... That a creature blessed with a brilliant mind can't.
I was touched when I heard this story and started wondering about relationships... Between family members, friends, co-workers, brothers, sisters.

It's not the years in your life that count.
It's the life in your years
