The first story.
The animals decided that they too would choose their king. They all gathered in a large meadow and the election began.
The elephant came first. ”I am the best candidate for the king of animals. I am the strongest and greatest of you. No one can match me.” But the animals immediately silenced him. “You’re not a good candidate, because everywhere you go, you trample and destroy everything, you don’t even go around the trees, but you break them if they stand in your way. We don’t want a king like that.”
The rhino came in second. “I would be a very good king, I am strong, no one can defeat me, choose me.” But the animals also silenced him. “You go everywhere you dig with your horn, you don’t leave anyone alone, no one who approaches you can be sure of their life. We don’t want a king like that.”
The hippopotamus came in third. “I would be the best alternative for you all. I’m strong, no one can beat me. Choose me king. ”But the animals silenced this candidate as well. We don’t want a king who’s been in the mud all his life and he’s all dirty.”
The giraffe came in fourth. “Choose me the king. I am the highest, no one has as much head as I do. Besides, I’m very peaceful, I don’t hurt any of you.” But the animals silenced her, too. You don’t like predators, you hate them, and you still have something against them, you still blame them. ”But I have to, because they are harming us, chasing us, and hunting and killing us. I can’t look at it in silence and tolerate it. ”But the animals shouted at her. “Away with her, we don’t want a king who always has something against predators.”
Suddenly a vulture called. “The best king would be a lion. See how beautiful, young and able he is. And that beautiful mane predestines him to be the king of animals.” Hyena, the jackal, and the great animals, the elephant, the rhino, and the hippopotamus immediately began to chant “The lion, the lion, the lion, let the lion be our king.”
The voice of the antelopes and gazelles protesting were not heard.
They silenced them by saying that when the lion will be a king, he would leave them alone and they would be able to feed themselves and graze as much as they wanted without fear, and that a beautiful and carefree future awaited them. So the animals chose the lion as their king.
Then the tiger spoke: “The lion is king, but he does not go to the jungle. Choose me King of the Jungle, too.” But the animals screamed. We already have a king, we don’t want him to be another king of the jungle. We want a queen to reign in the jungle. We want a queen, not a king. Anaconda applied here. I’m the best adept at the Queen of the Jungle. See what a beautiful long body I have, I do not disturb anyone, I rest peacefully in the trees and I am strong enough to keep order in the jungle. The big beasts and the lion immediately started a roar, “Anaconda, anaconda, long live the new queen of the jungle.” The voice of small and weak animals saying that it is killing and eating them disappeared in that scream, and so the anaconda became queen.
What happened after the election? The left did not become a peaceful animal. He immediately forgot his promises to the weaker animals and started hunting them with even more vigor. The big animals lived on in peace, the lion did not dare to them, and the vultures, hyenas and jackals, and they had paradise. So much food was left after the lion was not even consumed. And the anaconda? She ate everyone who approached her, even with her hair.
“Think about what I meant by this story.“

The second story.
They were two atheist brothers. They have dedicated their entire lives to career building. They did well too. They have enough money for all he longed for. Therefore, they began to revel and take part in riotous entertainment. In short, they lived on a high leg and did not deny themselves any pleasure that came to them. It wasn’t until they returned in the morning after a riotous night of alcohol-induced night that they couldn’t make the turn at high speed and had a serious car accident. Both had a damaged spine and remained in a wheelchair. They accepted this very difficult. Suddenly, the whole world collapsed. The first fell into great depression, he closed in himself and out of the outside world, and ended up in a difficult mental state at a psychiatrist. The other remembered his childhood and his grandmother telling him about God. He called a young priest, who began to attend to him every day. Gradually he was ready to receive all the sacraments. The general confession reflected his whole vain life, and he suddenly realized that what had happened to him was not a tragedy, but it was for his own good. Were it not for this accident, his life would have continued to flow in soulless pastimes in search of happiness, which still eluded him and he could not find him. Now, even though in the wheelchair, he felt happy because he was no longer alone. He had the kindest friend with him, to whom he entrusted his whole life to his hands, who would never leave him and disappoint him.
“You may know someone who is looking for it and can’t find the right path. Try to advise him how to find her.”

The third story.
Spring came. Several pairs of songbirds settled in one beautiful garden, enhanced its beauty with their singing. A pair of cuckoos were looking for a place to settle. As they flew over the garden, heard and saw that it was full of songbirds, they decided to settle there. They gradually found out where the birds had their nests. The male cuckoo expelled the bird sitting on the eggs and the cuckoo brought its egg there. So that it wouldn’t be obvious to the bird, she threw one egg away. So they gradually occupied all the nests of singers. Later on, they hatched from the eggs the chicks. The young cuckoo was always hungry, his parents had to bring him food from morning to evening. As the cub grew, he gradually throw out of the nest the other siblings until he was left alone in the nest. The whole colony of singers worked so hard and fed the young cuckoos. Instead of singing, only the loud KU-KUK sounded in the garden.
“Think about what reminds it to you.“
