THE LIZARD STORY


THE LIZARD STORY
 
In order to renovate the house, Kiko broke open the wall. Japanese houses normally have a hollow space between the wooden walls. When tearing down the walls, he found that there was a lizard stuck there because a nail from outside hammered into one of its feet. He sees this, feels pity, and at the same time curious. Curious because when he checked the nail, he realized that the nail was nailed 10 years ago when the house was first built !
What happened? Why did the lizard survive in such position for 10 years? In a dark wall partition for 10 years without moving, it is impossible and mind-boggling.
So Kiko stopped his work and observed the lizard, what it has been doing, and what and how it has been eating.
Later, not knowing from where it came, appears another lizard, with food in its mouth.
Ah! He was stunned and touched deeply. For the lizard that was stuck by nail, another lizard had been feeding it for the past 10 years...
Imagine? It has been doing that untiringly for 10 long years, without giving up hope on its partner.
