Title: You Call That Brave? (EN) Mutig, Mutig (DE)
Author: Lorenz Pauli and Kathrin Schärer
(A book borrowed from a friend.)
A mouse, a frog, a snail, and a sparrow decide to find out who is the bravest among them. To prove his bravery, the mouse wanted to swim a long distance without coming out from the water to breath.
The frog jaw dropped, you call that brave?
As a frog not really, but as a mouse, it is an act of courageous. The others defends.
Finally it’s the turn for the sparrow who loves to perform to prove his bravery. Everyone was surprised when he said: “I will do nothing .” And then everyone applauded him and congratulated him for his courage.
This little story brought me joy. It reminds me not to measure myself by other people’s standard and the other way round too. What is an easy task for me could be a challenging task for someone else and vice versa.
What is the bravest thing you’ve done?
Song of the night:
Cheerfully out into the world, against wind and storm!
Lustig in die Welt hinein, gegen Wind und Wetter!
Courage!
Mut!
By Wilhelm Müller
