Your House is on Fire
A satirical tale about a worried neighbor trying to alert a family about their burning house, a metaphor for climate change, as they face denial and obstacles, leading to a lesson in wisdom.
In a beautiful three-storied wooden house nestled among lush trees, a worried neighbor noticed smoke billowing from the rooftop. " - Your house is on fire!" he exclaimed, rushing to alert the family inside. The family, lounging on the porch, seemed unconcerned. " - Oh, it's just the sun setting," they dismissed with a wave. The neighbor's heart pounded with urgency, knowing the stakes were high.
Determined, the neighbor tried to convince them about the imminent danger. " - But the smoke is real! You must act now," he pleaded. The family merely shrugged, engrossed in their board game. " - We'll deal with it later," they replied nonchalantly. The neighbor felt a wave of frustration wash over him, knowing time was running out.
Desperation mounting, the neighbor thought of ways to prove the danger. He ran to grab a hose, only to find it tangled and inaccessible. " - Why won't this untangle?" he muttered in frustration. As he struggled, the family continued their game with laughter echoing through the trees. The obstacles seemed to multiply, mocking his attempts.
Exhausted and disheartened, the neighbor slumped against a tree. " - Maybe they’re right. Maybe it’s nothing," he sighed. Doubt crept in, but the smoke was undeniable. He closed his eyes, contemplating giving up. The weight of the problem felt insurmountable.
Suddenly, an old woman appeared on the path, leaning on a walking stick. " - Wisdom comes from seeing what others ignore," she said softly. Her words sparked a realization in the neighbor. " - I need to show them the truth," he declared, a newfound resolve in his voice. He rushed back, determined to make the family see the reality.
Armed with determination, the neighbor gathered evidence of the fire. " - Look at the charred wood and the ash," he urged, presenting the proof. The family finally paused their game, their eyes widening in shock. " - We must act now!" they exclaimed, springing into action. Together, they worked to extinguish the flames, grateful for the neighbor's wisdom.
