The Rabbit and the Dog : A short story by Vivek Malik


Once there was a farmer. He organized a competition between his dog and his rabbit. He made a hole in his biggest field and hid one carrot and a bine in it. He wanted to see which animal will find it first. The rabbit was very cheerful and he threw himself into looking for carrot, digging here and there. He was very sure that he would find the carrot. But the dog after sniffing around a bit, sat down on the ground and began to complain how difficult it was to find one bone in such a big field. The rabbit dug for hours, and with every new hole, the dog complained how difficult it was even for the rabbit. The rabbit on the other hand, thought that each hole dug was one hole less that needed digging. When there was no place in the whole field left to dig, the rabbit dug a tunnel to right under where the dog had been lying all that time. There he found the carrot and the bone. This is how the dog lost due to his negative thinking. He had already found the right place but if he would have dug even a single time, he would have achieved his goal.

And why would you do so? Because we let our ambitions grow? Because we step out of veils And look fabulous in our esteem, Or because we love ourselves And try to look out of kitchen shelves? We dream to invent remedies, To sign important treaties, Pen down novels without pen names And excel in various games. Driving cars and repairing lights And guarding streets on dark nights And to speak, to debate, We want to do things and not wait. And we didn’t sink our hearts, Neither focus only on sewing skirts, Nor on only cooking for your bunch of kids, But we tried to help you pay h

SDG Story Writing Contest (1st Prize Winner) : Who is the Best---The 17 SDGs by Rumish Ali Saif, Seth Anandram Jaipuria School, India

  A civilization rides on the shoulders of its youth force. And when the question is of existence or sustenance of the planet as a whole, the children and the youth of the entire world need to come together, think together and act together to make that possible. Let us read what some of them have to say to us through their stories on SDGs, ponder on what they are trying to say, act accordingly and try and change our ways of life. Perhaps this is the only way we can ensure that human civilization is not wiped out of the face of this Earth.
