The Beaver Family
By Me Myself and I

06 Jun, 2024

Mr. Beaver, the head of a beaver family, had found a new food source, a serene pond filled with fishes. Every evening, he would visit the pond, his teeth busy nibbling on the poor fishes.

The owner of the pond observed this ritual daily. The beaver's visits were costing him his fishes. Yet, he couldn't help but admire the creature's determination and resourcefulness.

One day, Mr. Beaver brought his kids to the pond. They were smaller, playful, and constantly following their father, imitating his actions. The pond owner watched the family with mixed feelings.

The beaver kids were learning to fish under their father's guidance. While the sight was endearing, the owner knew he couldn't afford to lose more fishes. He had to make a decision.

The owner, an elderly man with kind eyes, pondered over the beaver situation. He loved his fishes but also didn't want to deprive the beaver family of their food source. He was in a dilemma.

He thought about it long and hard. Finally, he came up with a plan. He would create a separate section in the pond, exclusively for the beavers. It seemed like a fair solution.

The next day, the owner started working on his plan. He divided the pond into two sections using a net. One for the fishes to swim freely, and the other for the beaver family.

He filled the beaver's side with enough fishes and waited for the beaver family to arrive. As expected, Mr. Beaver came with his kids. The owner watched from a distance, his heart pounding.

At first, the beavers seemed confused, but when they discovered the fishes on their side of the net, their excitement knew no bounds. They swam and played, their tails slapping the water in joy.

The pond owner watched them, his heart filled with happiness. He had managed to save his fishes and also provide for the beaver family. It was a win-win situation.

From that day forward, the beavers had their own fishing spot, and the fishes had their safe haven. The pond owner had found a perfect balance, and everyone lived in harmony.

The story of the pond owner and the beaver family spread in the neighborhood, teaching everyone a valuable lesson. Sometimes, the best solutions are ones where everyone benefits.
