Long ago, a young man found life in the family in his village full of problems andsufferings. Quarrels, ill-feelings, jealously, enmity - all were part of everyday life
there.
So he left his house and went to a jungle to live by himself. There he made a nice
little hut with wood, bamboo and reeds. “Ah, how happy I am here!” said the man to
himself.
But one day he found some mice in his hut. The little creatures soon made holes in
his blanket. So he brought a cat to kill the mice. The cat needed milk. So he brought a
cow. The cow needed grass and hay. So he brought a cowboy.
The cowboy needed food. So he took a wife to cook meals. Then children were born
to them, and the man found himself again in a family.
So nobody can live alone, unless they are either angels or devils. People need food,
shelter, companions and cooperation. They need to help each other. And if they live
in a family or community, their need can be fulfilled. Hence living in society can
make people good and happy citizens.
