The Little SnowmanA Story by Ammar Ali A single grain can make a difference! It was a cold and silent night. A little snowman was
strolling in the streets. He was already tired and out of breath after saving a Cat
from drowning. His Objective was to help as many souls as he could before
the night ends and the Sun shows up The Cat was following him but he was unaware and the only
thing echoing in his mind were the sagacious words of his magnanimous mentor "Don't forget my son that we are made of tiny little grains of
snow and snow is white, which is the color of innocence, purity, completion and
peace. We can spread generosity and prosperity. We can help others and bring them back to the life of colors But tragically our life is short. My days are over. And now
it’s your turn Do good and preach peace. Help them all before your clock
runs out of life" As He entered into a park , he heard a crying voice. Behind the rocks a little sparrow was weeping. What's the matter? Why are you crying? "I was playing and I lost my way now it is dark and I
can't go home alone. I’m afraid", the sparrow replied "Don't be afraid of the darkness. Fear is just a fake
reflection rather use it as a motivator. Come on now get up little soldier I'll
help you to get back home", said the snowman So the little snowman guided the little sparrow to its nest
where he received the gratitude of the worried parents. The Cat was still following him as he continued his mission
of the night. He saw two mice fighting with each other over a single piece
of cheese "Hey, hey what's the matter with you two? Why are you
fighting when you can share?" The little snowman taught the mice about sharing and tore
the cheese in two equal pieces. After settling the dispute he continued his journey The paws were still on his trails like a shadow After helping many animals and birds throughout the night,
the little brave snowman sat by the river. "So I guess this is it. I have done my job and it's
almost the time to say goodbye to this world", he smiled. A voice came from behind "But why are you doing all this" "Who... Who is there?" "It's me, the Cat you saved from drowning. I have been
following you all night but still couldn't figure out why are you helping
everybody when you yourself will melt away and your life is short?? I mean you
are like a road being used by everyone but you get no advantage out of
that?" The Little snow man replied; “Roads do lie there alone alright and people do throw
garbage at them, but they still provide a path
don’t they? Look at the Moon and the shining stars. They glow in
darkness providing directions without getting anything in return" "Yes Mr. Snowman but this is the Earth with mighty
oceans and self-centered population. There is no Moon nor any stars on the
Earth but only rejections and fake reflections" "Yes but my point is that if you can make a difference
by doing a little good to others then why not? You see that's what everyone
needs to realize, not only us but these humans also. As far as I have seen this
Earth is an obtuse and clumsy universe of unendurable and irresolute mankind.
You see my existence is representative of a millions of snow
grains. A single grain is essential for my existence That's what people need to learn that a single individual
can make a difference To let go of the fear of darkness, of being useless to the
society, of being at disadvantage. Life is all about sharing and caring. Even though my life
was short but I lived it without any fear" Cat was stunned as the dawn chorus started but the Sun was
still hidden behind the cloudy curtain. "So you are going to fade away now? Can't I do anything
for you? You saved my life I owe you that Sun began to shine and the dawn chorus continued. The little snowman started melting. He turned his face
towards the Cat "Only thing you can return to me is that you keep
yourself "white" " White? , the Cat inquired "Yes the color of purity. Abyss and
soul both are deep but one of them has a limit". Snow began to melt and the existence of little snowman was washed
away by the scorching Sun as the Cat remained stunned. But the wise words were left forever! © 2020 Ammar AliFeatured Review
