Once there was a small village near the countryside mountains. The
mountains were lofty and remained covered with snow during winters.
During summers, the mountains were covered with rich vegetation. The village
animals went up the mountain for gazing. It was a peaceful countryside, and people
lived happily.
One summer morning, the country folk saw smoke emitting from the
mountain peak. The Earth was quaking. Large pieces of rocks and boulders came
rolling down from the mountain. The tress on the mountain stumbled. The country
folks were sacred. They all gathered and watched in fear. They prayed to God to
save them from any calamity.
The country folks waited for the quake to subside. The day went by
and in the evening when the sun was about to set, a huge gap appeared at the
side of mountain. The people fell on their knees and pleaded God to save them.
Just then they saw a mouse struggling under the mountain. The mouse poked its
head out of the mountain and came running out. The mountain fell back on its
position and the quake receded. The people laughed and thanked God.
Moral: Much outcry, little outcome.
