Hunger: A story by Khushboo Yadav

There is a wonderful story of Buddha's life. Once Buddha was telling his pupils a story of one of his previous births. In his regression, he found that he was a bird in a forest in one of his previous births. Once the forest caught fire. There was a tree which was saved on which that bird lived. There came a boa creeping on that tree. It came there and took shelter till the fire had quenched. The bird found that the boa was hungry, it looked very weak. The bird came to that boa and said O'brother please eat me up and appease your hunger. And, finally, the boa ate that bird and appeased its hunger. The little bird sacrificed its life to appease the hunger of that boa out of Compassion.

In our country, there is no shortage of food. Nowadays people carelessly waste food in marriages and parties. Stop wasting food. Have a big heart and share your food with the poor and hungry. Sharing gives you joy, inner peace, and satisfaction. Thousands of children sleep empty-stomach in our country. This is a shame. So, Be Compassionate and share the crust of your bread.

Once I watched a video in which a little girl served food to a beggar. He was begging for food in a marriage party, but people did not let him even enter the marriage hall. And there were so many people who were throwing the remaining food into the dustbin. The little girl had been observing this for a long time. So, she finally came and serve the poor man a plate of food. This was out of Compassion. So, be compassionate, share your food and do not waste it.
