The Raven

I was going through some things in life in the past. I came across an elder from another nation. He shared a story about a Raven. The elder asked me if I heard about the raven being white ? I said no. Then the elder asked me “do you want to know? ” I said “yes.”

Well before the raven turned black. The Raven was white. The raven loves singing, and has a beautiful voice. He would walk the hill side, the animals would talk. He would brag about touching the sun. He was travelling to touch the sun. So they encouraged him to go. Off he went

Along the way, the raven met the eagle, the eagle said aren’t you flying a little high? The raven said gosh no, I’m off to touch the sun.

The eagle wish him luck as he flew by

As the raven kept flying higher and higher, he was getting thirsty. And he was so far from the sun still. With no one around, he told himself no one would know if he touched the sun or not so he went back down. He was so close to the sun the raven turned black from being burned.

As he went back down, he said hi eagle I touched the sun… The eagle didn’t recognize him and  went about his business ignoring the raven.

As he went back to all his friends. He kept telling everyone hey I touched the sun. With his scratchy voice from being dehydrated. He was also black now and no one recognized him. He couldn’t sing anymore.

The moral of the story is don’t brag about your life because no one will recognize you .
