Said Mother Earth to her three sons " What good have you done today?". One son said " I have conquered for you, and have laid many down." Say's Mother Earth, " I know I could feel their pain as you laid them in my arms." Said son number two,"I have fetched you a feast from many poor farmers fields. This feast is all for you". " I know", said Mother Earth," I feel the grumble of many empty stomachs." The third son said meekly," I have done nothing. I saw a dying man alone and afraid, and I used my time to comfort him." Say's Mother Earth," I know, he speaks kindly of you. You my son have done good."

So I ask you, "What good have you done today"?
