A few years ago I read a story in a National Geographic magazine. The story was set in a National Park in the USA. A fire had destroyed many acres of trees and when the rangers went to investigate they found a surprising survivor. They came across a little bird at the base of one of the charred trees. The little bird was dead but when the ranger poked it with a stick and it fell over, out from underneath its wings fled three little chicks. In the midst of the raging fire all around, that mother bird had gathered her chicks and spread her wings covering them, shielding them from the flames. She gave her life that they might survive.
