उत्तर

The message the little bird story of the forest fire conveys to us is that we must try to do whatever we can to improve matters. We must not think that our efforts are insignificant. We must not think What can one person do?' Every little drop counts. If each of us makes a little bit of effort, the sum total will be substantial.
