THE LIZARD

A Short Story

This is a true story that happened in Japan. In order to renovate the house, someone in Japan tore open a wall.

Japanese houses normally have a hollow space between the wooden walls.

When tearing down the walls, he found that there was a lizard stucked there because a nail from outside hammered into one of its feet.

He felt pity and curious at the same time, 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 feet was nailed!

So, he stopped his work and observed the lizard, what has it been doing and what has it been eating? Some time later, another lizard appeared from nowhere , with food in its mouth... AHHH!

He was stunned and touched deeply. The lizard that was stucked by nail survived all these years as another lizard has been feeding it for the past 10 years...

Such a beautiful love!! Such love can happen even on this tiny creature. What can love do? It can do wonders!! Love can do miracles!!

Imagine it has been doing it for a tiresome 10 years, without giving up hope on its partner. This story goes on to tell us that in love, nothing is impossible for love conquers all.
