Mini Saga #124 – <b>Ubuntu</b><br />
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
Anthropologist Rob placed a fruit basket
near a tree. He asked kids from an African tribe to race to win it. The
kids smiled, held their hands and ran together. They sat and ate fruits
together. When questioned, one kid said, “how can one be happy when
others are sad…”</div>
This mini saga was inspired by a story shared on Facebook in a group called <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Raising-Natural-Kids/191746188027">Raising Natural Kids</a>.<br />
<b>Note:</b><br />
1. A mini saga is a story told in exactly 50 words. Not 49 or 51 but exactly 50.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2
