Autobiography of brook
My life is quite similar to that of a man. I am born in high mountains where coot and herons live. I am quite active and noisy as I flow down valleys and ridges till I join a river and become one with it. After joining the river, I become quite peaceful and flow quietly. Similarly, after becoming mature and adult man also becomes calmer and more composed. In spite of the similarities between man and me there is one stark dissimilarity also, which I keep telling the readers frequently in the refrain ‘For men may come and men may go, But I go on forever.’ This refrain contrasts man’s mortal existence with the brook’s immortal life.
I also teach men many important lessons of life. I teach them the lesson of determinedly moving on, overcoming all obstacles; and finding a detour round rock-ridden course. I inspire man to move towards his goal like me if he is to achieve his goals. His path may be full of obstacles, but he must keep moving like me. As I start my journey from high mountains, on my way to the river I flow down many valleys, hills; slip between many ridges, flow by many villages, towns and cities, passing under many bridges, ultimately I join the brimming river. Similarly, man must pass by and overcome many obstacles before reaching his goal or destination. I teach men the lesson of perseverance, flowing energetically despite all obstacles, and never giving up.
