New galaxy (Fable)


The planet was reduced to rubble, the enormous blue oceans were tiny puddles. The sky was darker than ever before, and the great green mountains were nothing but insignificant piles of rocks and dust.


Bears came out of their caves, Birds left their nests as Humans left their underground bunkers. Every species that humanity had and had not ever met got together in a place they used to called “the valley”.


At first everything was new for everyone so they were in shock. Until the ground trembled and a big voice from the sky said in a dialect “You are chosen ones”.


Everyone started to look at each other amazed that every single one of them could understand what the voice was saying, then it continued “I’m the god of the gods, and you’ve been doing everything wrong since my last visit 13 billions years ago. Well… everything but two things. “Love” and “Passion”.


Then a little ant said “What do you mean with that?, tell us what should we do. We’re lost.”

Then the god said “You are here because, you never settle for anything less than the best and still you are humble. You’ll have to move to anoher galaxie to start new life and I’ll give you powers to create it. But be carefull I’m always watching you, you may have a lot of love and passion, but I know that you’re not perfect and the sin still exists in your hearts. Don’t disapoint me”


As they arrived to the new planet they started working with excitement. They could build a great mountain if they wanted to or create oceans, vegetation, clouds and valleys.


Everything was going great but decades passed and they separeted and made groups to show off their powers. They stoped ussing their powers to make life. Instead they create barrers and exclusiveness. It seem like everyone forgot their god and felt like gods.


Everyone became lazy, undisciplined, selfish and arrogant. Except for a few people and about 50 animals of different kinds.


This group of hard workers, didn’t want to dissapoint their god. They didn’t forgot all the powers and faith that “god” had in them.


Thay tried to convince the others. But the others were so “exclusive” and “unreacheable” that they didn’t even listened.


One day a mouse pray to the god and said “Please forgive them and give me and my partners strenght. We can’t do everything” and a voice interrupt him and said “Don’t worry i’ve been watching all these years, but it’s time to make justice”


At the next day everyone woke up at “the valley” in the ancient planet and the god said “you’ve been lazy, heartless and selfish. I gave you an opportunity and you let me down. You’ll come back to your horrible destroyed planet, while the hard workers will come with me to the other galaxy to be honored and pleaced for their hard work and passion.


However the God gave them a chance and said to everyone in earth “If you correct your manners and dedicate your life to the others you may be selected to reenter to “heaven”. And that’s how the lazy people stayed at the earth and the hard workers and humble ones went to the big galxy called “heaven”.

 

The moral of the story is that you should always be grateful for the oportunities yo have and the gifts you have as a person. Aso if someone is giving you a chance to improve things you better not dissapoint them, and it doesn’t matter if someone have a lot of good qualities that doesn’t make any person better than other. Everyone is the same, and life always finds its way to reward good people.
