"And what did you do?"
"I waited for the tiger to finish, and then filled my pots."
"And what if the tiger came when you were here?"
"That happens also", she said with a smile. "If I am filling water, the tiger waits for me to finish, and then comes to the pool to drink water."
If man and animal can co-exist so well in the wild, why can't man get along with other men in the cities?

Probably because man talks and animals don't.
Good question! We all need to work on thinking of others before we think of ourselves.
such a good drabble and such a good question...

The answer to this question would provide world peace. What a pity none of us have the answer.
Natasha - As always, so much to think about with your story! How truly ironic it is that civilisation is so often not civilised....
Profound thought!
Amazing story!!
PS in an unrelate comment, the female face of power in India was profiled on the front page of our national paper today. I wonder how accurate it is...

Good question that got me thinking!
Awesome drabble and question. I think we need to be patient with one another instead of pushing our selves ahead.
Hello Rayna. This is my first visit here. I found you through Miss Kittie's blog (http://kittiehoward.blogspot.com).
I must say, you have a very colorful & expressive blog. Quite entertaining. I'm enjoying your drabbles. Never heard that word before (although my wife does say things like "dribs" & "drabs").
Very thought-provoking piece.
Thanks for sharing.
A very good question indeed!!
Hugs
SueAnn
