It was evening hrs, the elderly gentleman visited the neighborhood Mall with family and soon got himself seated in a Coffee Shop..
The Mall was very busy with the hustle and bustle of many visitors on account of the next day festival many colors and endless screams spread out all round..
The family ordered coffee for all and after a while the coffee was served. As they were sipping their coffee with usual chit chat, suddenly a member screamed,
"Ah! There's a fly in my coffee!"
And pushed the cup with part not so hot coffee in it away sharing the drink with others..
Soon the family moved on with their shopping spree asking the elderly to seat himself in the Coffee Shop till they come back..
The gentleman looked around for while and the Coffee Shop was seen filled with many customers all talking busily and the Mall crowd going past him..
Suddenly he remembered the fly in coffee and as he casually looked into the cup with leftover coffee, he could see the fly movement in the cup covered with frothy milk coffee..
Instantly, he carefully took out the fly from the coffee with a tissue paper and kept it outside..
The fly started moving slowly but with difficulty as its wings and legs were stuck with the sticky milk coffee..
The gentleman firmed up..
"I've to be here for the next 30-45 minutes till the family returns. Let me try my best in this time and help the fly recover from its injury as much without further hurt!"
Having decided thus, the next moment he took another tissue paper and started gently rolling the fly from one tissue to the other making sure every time it comes to the centre of the 2nd tissue as it tries to move dragging it's legs and wings and comes to an end on the 1st tissue by gentle transfer..
Thus continued the gentleman his actions with none observing his deed..
Half hr passed..
The fly slowly got rid of all that stuck to it's wings and legs by its constant effort simultaneously taking help from rolling tissues and had recovered almost max other than flying..
It was time, the family finished their work and was ready to move.. The gentleman slowly took the 2 tissues gently wrapping up the fly and as they walked, came closer to a huge dust bin, uncovered the dust bin and disposed off the 2 tissues with the fly within with a confident feeling that the creature would sure survive best in it's natural habitat..
Surprisingly, as he disposed off the tissue papers and was about to leave the sliding cover softy, by that time the fully recovered fly beautifully emerged from the tissue papers and flew off next to him so elegantly to its ultimate freedom..
Yes.. This is Diwali day.. All those various echo friendly actions around coupled with the elderly man's kind and gentle but persistent special actions truly brought back full freedom to a tiny creature in the Universe and those special actions forever remained
100% ECO FRIENDLY
