In an ancient temple, a number of pigeons lived happily on roof top.
When the renovation of the temple began for the annual temple festival, the pigeons relocated themselves to a Church nearby. The existing Pigeons in the Church accomadated the new comers very well
Christmas was nearing and the Church was given a facelift. All the pigeons had to move out and look for another place They were fortunate to find a place in a Nearby Mosque . Pigeons in the Mosque welcomed the new friends Happily.
It was Ramadan time and the Mosque was repainted. All the pigeons now Came back to the same ancient Temple .
One day the pigeons on top found some Sound and clash below in a market square. A Baby Pigeon
asked the mother pigeon “Who are these people ?”.
The mother replied that they were called “Human beings”.
The baby asked, “but why are they fighting with each other”.
The mother said “These human beings going to temple are called ‘Hindus’ and the people going to the Church are called ‘Christians’ …. The people going to Mosque are called ‘Muslims’.
The Baby pigeon asked, “why is it so? Look, when we were in the Temple we were called PIGEONS only !!! ….When we were in the Church , we were called as PIGEONS . And , we were in the MOSQUE too, we were called as PIGEONS only. Similarly all of them down below should be called just “HUMAN BEINGS ” wherever they go”.
The mother Pigeon said, ‘You and me and our Pigeon friends have experienced God and that’s why we are living here in a highly elevated place Peacefully. These people are yet to experience God. Hence they are living below us and fighting and killing each other”.
A nice Story with a Strong Message to all of us ….
