One day, said the legend, there was a huge forest fire. All the terrified, aghast animals watched the disaster helplessly. Only the little hummingbird was activated, fetching a few drops with its beak to throw them on the fire. After a moment, the armadillo, annoyed by this derisory agitation, said to him: “Hummingbird! Aren’t you crazy? It is not with these drops of water that you will extinguish the fire! ”
And the hummingbird replied, “I know it, but I’m doing my part”.
