Unity is Strength
Today, it was Big Bear Gulu’s group’s turn to do chores. The group leader, Jumping Monkey, started assigning tasks: Big Bear Gulu would sweep the floor, Big-Eared Rabbit would clean the windows, and Lion Awei would wipe the tables. The group leader should set an example, so Jumping Monkey began sweeping the floor first.
Big Bear Gulu was slowly sweeping, while Big-Eared Rabbit quickly finished cleaning the windows and proudly declared, “I’m done with my task!”
“Big-Eared Rabbit, help Gulu sweep the floor!” Jumping Monkey said, then went over to help Lion Awei wipe the tables.
“Why should I help him?” Big-Eared Rabbit was unhappy. “I’ve already finished my task, sweeping the floor isn’t my job!”
Big-Eared Rabbit stood off to the side, upset, watching everyone else work but refusing to help.
Once the chores were done, the class teacher came to inspect. The only thing that failed inspection was the windows because they looked like a smudged cat face!
Big-Eared Rabbit lost his earlier smugness and stood quietly off to the side.
“Come on, let’s help Big-Eared Rabbit clean the windows together!” Jumping Monkey said.
Lion Awei laughed and said, “That’s his task, not ours!”
Big Bear Gulu chuckled quietly to himself.
“Haha, I was just kidding!” Lion Awei said, then he and Big Bear Gulu picked up cloths and started wiping the windows.
Seeing Awei and Gulu sweating from their hard work, Big-Eared Rabbit didn’t know what to say, but he started wiping the windows more vigorously.
In no time, the group worked together and cleaned the windows until they were spotless and gleaming. They passed the school’s inspection and even got the highest score in the whole school.
“It seems that unity really is strength!” Jumping Monkey said happily.
