FRIEND'S COLONY
Many societies have stories about animals. Panchatantra, Jataka Tales and Aesop's Fables are those with which we are familiar in this part of the world. Many of the stories that children tell and re-tell are about animals. In our Eastern culture there are instances of festivals coming in twelve year cycles and some societies have based their day to day lives in such cycles named after animals.
Though some of us would like to break with the past, others amongst us feel that we humans are fortunate enough to be current masters of this world and that the responsibility of passing on this heritage on to future generations rests with us.
