00:00According to an old Native American legend,
00:03one day there was a big fire in the forest.
00:05All the animals fled in terror.
00:07Suddenly, the jaguar saw a hummingbird pass over his head,
00:10but it was flying towards the fire.
00:13Moments later, the jaguar saw him pass again.
00:15This time he was headed away from the fire.
00:18The jaguar asked,
00:19What are you doing, hummingbird?
00:21I am going to the lake, he answered.
00:23I drink water with my beak and throw it on the fire to extinguish it.
00:27The jaguar laughed.
00:29Are you crazy?
00:30Do you really think that you can put out that big fire on your own
00:33with your very small beak?
00:35No, said the hummingbird.
00:37I know I can't.
00:38But the forest is my home.
00:40It feeds me.
00:42It shelters me and my family.
00:44I am very grateful for that.
00:45I am part of her, and the forest is part of me.
00:49I know I can't put out the fire,
00:51but I must do my part.
00:53At that moment, the forest spirits,
00:56who listened to the hummingbird,
00:57were moved by the bird,
00:58and its devotion to the forest.
01:01Miraculously, they sent a torrential downpour,
01:03which put an end to the great fire.
01:05The Native American grandmothers would tell this story to their grandchildren,
01:09then conclude with,
01:11Do you want to attract miracles into your life?
01:14Then do your part.
01:15You have no responsibility to save the world
01:18or find the solutions to all problems,
01:21but to tend to your particular personal corner of the universe.
01:25As each person does that,
01:27the world will save itself.
