Story demonstrates that we are all interdependent on each other. When some one is threatened, we are all at risk. We must keep an eye out for one another and make an effort to help each other.

I know better than to listen to stories about creatures being killed! The moral of the story is a good one and Nitima brings up serval things we can learn from it.

I discovered your account because I love stories so you were the only one I didn‘t know until yesterday. I wanted to give a review but i was too tired to. I like that you have many 3 minute stories and they‘re different than the other stories you can find on Aura. I loved how you tell this story so I‘m following you from now on. Keep going. 😊👍🏼

Delightful! 🙏
Nitima has a gift for storytelling. You will not be disappointed with this selection. Delightfully told, this story is far more than a simple story. It’s a beautiful reminder of the importance of uniting and working together as one. 💫🙏♥️🙏💫

Living...
My take-aways are based on the Law of Cause & Effect (or Karma getting even): If you do not help a friend in need it could cost you your life. If you intend to take another’s life (even a mouses), it may cost you a life. Live & let live is the best motto, but learn when it is ok to live and let die. ❤️🙏🍀

Ummm?
What a strange story. Whatever happened to "happily ever after"? There wasn't exactly a resolution was there? Everybody died!

Be aware that the smallest things are important. Many things effect you even if you are not aware of it

Stand ready!
I am constantly standing by on alert to help others. We only get through this life when helping one another! Even now, laid low by fate, I strive to be helpful and of aid to anyone I can. I like to do so, and do it happily! Recently, I offered aid to help move an old high-school friend of my wife’s as his family changed homes. I was THE ONLY person to offer assistance when he put out the call...even his own close family resisted the chance to help them out! He crowed about his disabled friend offering help when his own able-bodied family members wouldn't! Kind of put them to shame!

Prepared
Have strength and endurance to work through unwanted circumstances. Be ready for unexpected and disappointing outcomes. Lead with courage in knowing that you’re capable of more than you imagine. With time and effort, good things will come.

you should always help friends no matter the problem. We are all connected in some way and by not helping friends in time of need it can lead to bad luck and bad things.

I think this was a great story. We often neglect problems that we think have nothing to do with us. We are less likely to act on something that doesn't affect us personally. But this is a dangerous way to think. Just because it doesn't directly affect you doesn't mean the problem is trivial or the people or whatever it is that is affected by it are okay. And who knows? It might come to haunt you in the end. You won't know until it's too late. So always be helping and never turn people away because their problem doesn't interest you. Even if it doesn't seem important to you, it is to them, and as a friend, it is your role to be helpful and supportive.

internal connectedness
small things can have big effects I must notice this before its too late and I'm left only with regret. the task/favour asked for < the mourning that could occur from a negative outcome the pleasure of doing the favour > the time and effort taken to do the task

I have nothing to really add, I understand the meaning of the story. This story got dark super fast. Was not expecting that.

This is the first time I heard something on this app that I truly disliked. This story just made me anxious about all my friends problems. And all the times I've might of done wrong by my friends. I just wished it calmed my thoughts not the complete opposite.

What we do effects others. So remeber to be aware because we are not in this alone.

WOW... social responsibility! No matter what, your actions effect others. It needs to stop being about "my rights" and start being about "our world".

Were all interconnected
Stay alert to the world around you and get involved. Only with looking out for one another, can we solve our issues.

This is so true. What we do effects others. I am beginning to realize that sometimes you have to move away from a situation because you are the only one working

It’s true. When a loved one, a co-worker, colleague, an or a relative seek help for an issue, complication, feedback, or a listening ear, it’s not just she who is in need of community. If we are to live w one another, @others, beyond one’s neighborhood, what interrupts one, lays aside the other. In fact, now is the time for the lives of all people to build one another up & give support, for Goodness to grow.

Your actions matter to those around you, even in the smallest scale to make big impacts.
