Small Shadows

One evening, the human shadow stopped and looked at itself...

"I'm so small... How could anything as small and insignificant as me, do something in life that is worthwhile? Is it even worth trying to do something great in life, when there are so many that say you will fail?"

And the shadow watched its shoulders droop in despair.

Then a second shadow appeared from the left...

A very small chicken shadow...

And the chicken shadow looked up and said, "You are not small in my eyes; you are a towering giant! One who is capable of many things when you put your heart, mind and soul to it. So do not despair, you still have many things in life that can be done... If you try.

And with that, both shadows parted. Each one feeling a little happier than before.
