Love me - Love you story
I heard this story from Gopinath Muthukad
There was a small bird which was feeling very lonely since it's father and mother were already dead and it had neither siblings nor friends. One day it approached an elderly crow and asked his advice on making friends.
The crow advised the young bird to sit it its beautifully laid nest and repeatedly chant love me .... love me !
The small bird wasted no time. But even after a few months of chanting he could get no friends.
He met the crow again and told his sorry plight.
Crow took him to the elephant who he thought had better ideas.
The elephant patiently heard the story and meditated.
Then advised the young bird to change it's chant in a very small way.
It just wanted the bird to repeat love YOU instead of love ME.
The small bird returned to it's nest and started chanting the new words.
To it's surprise it got a lot of friends the very first day itself.
