Another children’s story that I recently read with a student was this book. It tells about the tale of three chicken sisters who boast of their love for baking, the other for knitting and the last sister for singing.
In the story, the eldest who is fond of baking is not really a good baker but her sister appreciates the fact that she tries her best to bake for them. The youngest that is not that great in singing is still being supported by the sisters.
It is worth blogging because of the attitude amongst the sisters. They seemed to tolerate each others little faults, or big ones, but it surfaced evidently that they do accept the faults of each other.
Our society tolerates a number of things but had not been accepting of others. There are still the issues of religion, culture clash, gender and social class. There is still prejudice, bias and discrimination.
The earth is telling us many things with its changing climate and environmental issues. But until now, we have never managed to put our conflicting ideas aside to promote a better place to be in. Maybe our death will be the only answer.
