Tales From An African Night


Narrated By Janet Odidi Obuotor 

For echoblog-ger.blogspot.com 

Once upon a time a fisher man went out to sea and fetched some crabs. He placed the crabs in a bucket by the seashore and left to go attend to his fishing net.

The crabs filled with excitement that their captor was nowhere in sight, decided that it was time to get away and crawl back into the sea. 

Each crab 🦀  moved as fast as it could and tried to crawl up the side of the bucket.

Rather than assist the crab crawl out of the bucket, the other crabs pulled it back into the bucket. 

Again and again the crabs kept crawling over each other and pulling each other back into the bucket.

Soon the fisherman was back to his bucket full of crabs. 

That evening the fisherman had a delicious meal of fisherman soup, made with the crabs. 

Moral of the story;

Number 1: 

The wrong crowd will pull you away from attaining your your success story.

Number 2:

Not everybody that shares the same intents with you, tends to help you achieve.

Number 3: 

Sometimes in life there are people whose only goal is to pull you back from your path to success.  Learn to identify them.

Israel To Pump Water From The Mediterranean sea, To Top Up The Sea Of Galilee

  The Sea of Galilee, Israel, despite its name, the Sea of Galilee in northern Israel is actually a freshwater lake, and it's one that has sustained life for millennia. Even today, the lake irrigates vineyards and local farms that grow everything from green vegetables to wheat and tangerines. Its archeology, hot springs and hiking trails bring tourism and livelihoods for local communities. But this place of religious pilgrimage — where the New Testament says many of Jesus' miracles were performed — is facing a bleak future, CNN reports. The climate crisis is causing huge fluctuations in the lake's water levels. Now it happens to be fairly full, but just five years ago, it hit a record low. Climate change and unsustainable water management are leaving lakes dried up all over the Middle East and beyond, but the Israeli government is hopeful it has a solution: It plans to pump water from the Mediterranean sea, take the salt out of it and send it across the country to top up th...
