0:02 - 0:05Event organized by Zeitgeist Movement
-
0:05 - 0:08Verona, November 19th, 2011
-
0:10 - 0:13Symposium "Sustainable Society"
-
0:15 - 0:18Then, the first speaker is Enrico Caldari
-
0:18 - 0:22marketing expert, new medias, independent researcher
-
0:22 - 0:25Since 2005 he has concerned with monetary systems
-
0:26 - 0:29and since 2010 he has also been popularizer, speaking to public
-
0:29 - 0:32with a series of lectures entitled "What is money?"
-
0:32 - 0:36and his facebook page "Kaldari Report".
-
0:36 - 0:38He graduated in Statistics in Bologna
-
0:38 - 0:41and in short, he does a lot of researches and interesting works.
-
0:41 - 0:45We're not to be here redundant, get him come on the stage
-
0:45 - 0:49and he will explain us what is the money. Thank you everyone.
-
0:49 - 0:51- Thank you very much, Federico.
-
0:52 - 0:53Thank you everyone.
-
0:56 - 0:59I say it's a particular emotion for me
-
0:59 - 1:02talking to all of you.
-
1:02 - 1:05but I'll say the truth: I think i'll enjoy myself a little
-
1:05 - 1:07and i will also entertain you a little.
-
1:08 - 1:11As Federico has already said, i have made so many things in my life
-
1:12 - 1:15As all of you, we say that, I had to engineer myself
-
1:15 - 1:18to gain some money to live.
-
1:18 - 1:20Indeed, i ask you a question.
-
1:21 - 1:24How many of you need money to live?
-
1:28 - 1:29Then I will change the question.
-
1:29 - 1:32How many of you do not need money to live?
-
1:34 - 1:36I don't see anyone!
-
1:36 - 1:41All right. In 2005, you can see the date written on a small scale there
-
1:41 - 1:46I have just started to deal myself not so much about money I was doing,
-
1:46 - 1:50about amount of money I was doing, but on quality of money
-
1:50 - 1:52i was using and that we all use.
-
1:52 - 1:54about the nature of money.
-
2:00 - 2:05So I started to explore the theme and some years later
-
2:05 - 2:08some people have asked me to talk about that.
-
2:09 - 2:12to talk about that around and therefore
-
2:12 - 2:14I have put together a series of topics
-
2:15 - 2:20that in the last 10-12 months i have brought around Italy
-
2:20 - 2:23and even England
-
2:23 - 2:25talking about a range of issues related to money.
-
2:25 - 2:28For example I talk about origins of the monetary system.
-
2:28 - 2:33on reason the nature of money is connected to current crisis
-
2:33 - 2:35that is a economic, social, environmental crisis
-
2:35 - 2:38and I would add spiritual crisis too.
-
2:38 - 2:42and then how to change the money could be a solution
-
2:42 - 2:46this is, in my opinion, the first solution.
-
2:48 - 2:51Since we suppose that
-
2:51 - 2:55all of us use money we know what it is
-
2:55 - 2:58I ask you a first simple question.
-
2:59 - 3:03Who creates the money?
-
3:05 - 3:09Then, i'm sure the guy in front of me
-
3:09 - 3:12has tried to print some money in his garage
-
3:13 - 3:17but surely the tobacconist on the corner has caught him immediately.
-
3:20 - 3:26Obviously the correct answer is: central banks.
-
3:26 - 3:28Who creates the money?
-
3:28 - 3:30[Central bank]
-
3:31 - 3:34Wrong!
-
3:36 - 3:39Now i think to understand that we need to deepen the theme for a moment.
-
3:40 - 3:45Then, what you can see here is an graphical exemplification
-
3:46 - 3:50of our amount of circulating money in our society
-
3:50 - 3:53what we all use and it is divided into two parts.
-
3:54 - 4:00look, there is a tiny green part and a larger dark green part . Ok?
-
4:01 - 4:03What are these two parts?
-
4:04 - 4:12Then, the tiny green part is money created by central banks
-
4:12 - 4:15instead the dark green part is credit.
-
4:16 - 4:18What is credit?
-
4:19 - 4:25credit created, we say, provided by commercial banks, by private banks.
-
4:25 - 4:27Then, I ask you a question.
-
4:27 - 4:29If me and the guy here
-
4:29 - 4:31who has had problems with tobacconist
-
4:31 - 4:34we have a business relationship.
-
4:34 - 4:36I have a credit on him, okay?
-
4:37 - 4:39What has he got on me?
-
4:44 - 4:52So if that 95% is credit, necessarily it corresponds to a debt.
-
4:52 - 4:54ok? But there is a "but" ...
-
4:55 - 4:58this debt will be repaid with interests.
-
4:59 - 5:03Then, this very easy mechanism to understand
-
5:04 - 5:10is the reason whole basis of circulating money has to grow
-
5:11 - 5:16because to repay the debt which it is composed
-
5:16 - 5:21as we should also repay all interests
-
5:23 - 5:28Now i don't want to bore you, but the basic concept is that
-
5:28 - 5:36today almost all the circulating money represents a debt
-
5:36 - 5:39that we have to repay with interests.
-
5:40 - 5:44This is, I quote a source of my assertion
-
5:44 - 5:49is the last book by Richard Werner and Josh Ryan-Collins.
-
5:49 - 5:51i also met him in London
-
5:51 - 5:53and the book is titled "Where does money come from"
-
5:53 - 5:56"Where does money come from", released in September of this year
-
5:56 - 5:58and it is one of the most complete pubblications
-
5:58 - 6:02released about this issue in the last years .
-
6:05 - 6:08Now, you will return to home tonight
-
6:08 - 6:11I take my fried here as example again
-
6:11 - 6:17he will return to home this evening, he will meet his father in law and he will say him "Dear...
-
6:18 - 6:22What is his name? There's no father in law, let's call him Mario.
-
6:22 - 6:26"Dear Mario, you know that today I have attended a conference
-
6:26 - 6:30in the centre of Verona, at the cinema, there was this guy is from Romagna.
-
6:30 - 6:34He has said us that most of the money
-
6:34 - 6:38is not created by central banks but by commercial banks
-
6:38 - 6:41as credit, as a loan and they get it out of nothing.
-
6:43 - 6:45What will Mario tell you?
-
6:45 - 6:48This is not true, is not possible. I have got bills in my pocket
-
6:48 - 6:52and there is written on central bank, it's not possible.
-
6:53 - 6:57Then, but the guy from Romagna has quoted us other sources
-
6:57 - 7:01for example he has quoted the chief editor of economics section
-
7:01 - 7:04of "Financial Time" , in 2011 he declared:
-
7:04 - 7:09"The essence of the contemporary monetary system is the creation of money, out of nothing
-
7:09 - 7:13by private banks' often unruly lending."
-
7:13 - 7:16The original adjective is "foolish" ...
-
7:19 - 7:22Mario will say " Irritating journalists, one who says one thing
-
7:22 - 7:25and one who says different things i don't trust, for heaven's sake
-
7:25 - 7:28i wonder who that boy is".
-
7:28 - 7:32So then I will quote another example.
-
7:32 - 7:34This is an official document instead
-
7:34 - 7:37is the quarterly bulletin of the Bank of England
-
7:38 - 7:40Third in 2007, there is written on:
-
7:40 - 7:44"The most important role to create circulating money is covered by the banking sector"
-
7:44 - 7:49"When banks make loans, they create additional deposits for those who get into debt."
-
7:50 - 7:51And Mario says
-
7:51 - 7:54But the world is based on dollars, not on pounds
-
7:54 - 7:57who cares if Bank of England said it.
-
7:57 - 8:00But, be careful, because if even we talk about dollars
-
8:01 - 8:03there's for example the document by Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago
-
8:04 - 8:06entitled "Modern Money Mechanics" of '61
-
8:06 - 8:07where is written:
-
8:07 - 8:11"The actual process of money creation takes place primarily in the private banks. "
-
8:12 - 8:15And Mario says: "But that's an old document, it's of '61"
-
8:15 - 8:17Then, let's carry on.
-
8:18 - 8:20However it was updated and republished in 1992
-
8:20 - 8:22so anyway ...
-
8:22 - 8:26"but we are in Europe, we use Euro. Who cares about dollars?"
-
8:29 - 8:31Then to conclude:
-
8:31 - 8:39"In the the 'Euro-system the currency is created primarily through the expansion of credit bank the commercial banks can create money themselves"
-
8:39 - 8:44That is a document by Bundesbank entitled "Geld und Geldpolitik"
-
8:44 - 8:48Does anyone know Geman? I don't, but i know what it means
-
8:48 - 8:50"Currency and money policy"
-
8:51 - 8:55Now, my friend's father in law here what will he say?
-
9:00 - 9:01"You're communist"
-
9:02 - 9:05Because then all arguments are finished
-
9:05 - 9:07or alternatively "you are fascist"
-
9:08 - 9:10"you are an anarcho-insurrectionist"
-
9:10 - 9:14"you are a conspiracy theorist"
-
9:14 - 9:16but what gives me more bother is..
-
9:16 - 9:19when people say ... i have now overcome the others
-
9:19 - 9:22but when people say "you are pessimist"
-
9:24 - 9:27As those are just quotes from books and documents
-
9:27 - 9:29let's look at some real things.
-
9:29 - 9:31For example, this is the Wikipedia page
-
9:32 - 9:34describes the economy of Greece.
-
9:34 - 9:37You know that Greek is bottom of the class.
-
9:38 - 9:40It has created many problems in the world economy
-
9:40 - 9:43many fears and concerns, and i would say
-
9:43 - 9:48in 2010 the greek government deficit was 26%
-
9:48 - 9:53that is the greek government made 100 and spent 126
-
9:54 - 9:58Obviously the rating agency's rating was the worst possible
-
9:58 - 10:00bottom of the class: CCC-
-
10:03 - 10:07But let's look at first of the class, United States.
-
10:07 - 10:10I have a looked at the same information again of 2010
-
10:10 - 10:15and i have verified it, the budget deficit in 2010.
-
10:18 - 10:21Then i have discovered what no one had never told me
-
10:21 - 10:25reading newspapers, listening television, books ...
-
10:25 - 10:28in 2010 the U.S. deficit was 59%
-
10:28 - 10:31The U.S. made 100 and spent 159
-
10:32 - 10:34more than double of Greece.
-
10:34 - 10:39Guess what the rating of U.S. government bonds was in 2010.
-
10:42 - 10:47AAA+ is not a laugh but it is precisely the best possible rating.
-
10:48 - 10:51Then, we are starting to understand somethings
-
10:51 - 10:54to begin with it is not clear how rating is got by rating agencies
-
10:54 - 10:58and this is a separate problem, however, what we begin to understand
-
10:58 - 11:01is the problem of budget deficit of the states i would say
-
11:01 - 11:06maybe it' s a "structural" fact, because a deficit like that is not usually done in one year
-
11:06 - 11:09is not that what was unlucky one year, okay?
-
11:09 - 11:14In fact, if we look at history a little
-
11:14 - 11:17this is here the trend of the total debt of United States
-
11:17 - 11:19not only as a government, because someone might say that
-
11:19 - 11:22governament gets debts, but the companies don't get debts.
-
11:22 - 11:25It is not true, this is the total aggregate debt of United States
-
11:25 - 11:28from 1955 to 2010.
-
11:28 - 11:32Do you see that red line? It's the structural trend of debt
-
11:33 - 11:38It rises, okay? From 5000 billion dollars has exceeded
-
11:38 - 11:4255.000 maybe 60.000 billion dollars
-
11:42 - 11:45So clearly, a structural trend.
-
11:47 - 11:54Now, returning to the origin of my talk, we have said that
-
11:54 - 11:58whole circulating money represents a debt
-
11:59 - 12:01It must continue to grow
-
12:01 - 12:04because to repay this debt with interests
-
12:04 - 12:06we need more and more money.
-
12:07 - 12:13So the economy using money must continue to grow
-
12:13 - 12:19We know that economy to grow , needs more and more money.
-
12:19 - 12:21Why does the GDP grow? How does the GDP
grow? -
12:21 - 12:24Surely exchanging more money faster
-
12:24 - 12:26It's a way, but the quantity of money must increase.
-
12:26 - 12:29So clearly this kind of sistem faces
-
12:29 - 12:33a structural limit, that is, if we have seen
-
12:33 - 12:36the continuing growth of total debt
-
12:36 - 12:38the economy must grow continuously to repay the debt
-
12:38 - 12:43There is a problem i would call Planet Earth
-
12:44 - 12:50Planet Earth, where we live, is one and also limited.
-
12:50 - 12:54So think about doing a constant infinite growth like that
-
12:54 - 12:59on Planet Earth, perhaps it means to face with a structural limit.
-
12:59 - 13:02Which is the other limit? If we continue
-
13:02 - 13:06to increase the total debt with new deficit every year
-
13:06 - 13:09clearly the expenditure to pay the interests, what will it do?
-
13:10 - 13:15It will increase. Current expenditure, the salaries of politicians
-
13:15 - 13:17maybe we compress it a little
-
13:17 - 13:21but what is trend of investment spending? It falls.
-
13:22 - 13:26So which is the other structural limit of this system?
-
13:26 - 13:29Clearly it is if the debt continues to rise
-
13:29 - 13:30and we have to pay the interests
-
13:30 - 13:33sooner or later we'll pay only the interests.
-
13:34 - 13:38Now very fast question: what do you think is
-
13:38 - 13:40our economic system name?
-
13:41 - 13:47Monetarism, market economy, free market.
-
13:49 - 13:51Honestly I don't very interested your thought
-
13:51 - 13:54what i think is in my opinion
-
13:54 - 13:57the system name is "debt based economy"
-
13:58 - 14:02Now i ask you, What is the end of this kind of system ?
-
14:04 - 14:09I don't think about it just me, surely there is also someone else
-
14:09 - 14:11but surely it won't make a good demise.
-
14:11 - 14:16Now the question is: do we want to make his own demise?
-
14:16 - 14:19to be buried under that mountain of debts
-
14:19 - 14:22or we want to choose ourselves, maybe to bury it
-
14:22 - 14:24and to invent ourselves something new.
-
14:26 - 14:30Now to do that, let's look back on logo that i use on my blog
-
14:30 - 14:33is pronunced Kaldàri
-
14:37 - 14:39I left this little writing on it
-
14:39 - 14:43on the 1 penny coin "We trust".
-
14:43 - 14:46Whole our monetary economic system
-
14:46 - 14:50and then our lives are based on trust about money.
-
14:50 - 14:56Today that confidence is used a little surreptitiously
-
14:56 - 15:02but it can also be used in a more useful and sustenable way.
-
15:02 - 15:06That is Island of Guernsey between England and France
-
15:07 - 15:12At the beginning of 1800 Island of Guernsey had a serious problem.
-
15:13 - 15:16A total debt of 20.000 pounds.
-
15:17 - 15:22on which it had state public revenues
-
15:22 - 15:25we can say it was a small town, of 3000 annual pounds.
-
15:26 - 15:31that had interests on debt of 2.400 pound a year
-
15:31 - 15:33That means there was 600 pounds
-
15:33 - 15:35to make investments and pay salaries.
-
15:35 - 15:39They didn't pay salaries, they had a serious problem.
-
15:39 - 15:42moreover they had decadent public structures
-
15:42 - 15:44the sea eroded the coast
-
15:44 - 15:46so they had a serious problem.
-
15:46 - 15:48They had to invent a way to resolve it
-
15:48 - 15:51without asking to borrow more money
-
15:51 - 15:54becouse otherwise they wouldn't be able even to pay interests
-
15:54 - 15:56and without charging other taxes to the popolation
-
15:56 - 15:59that already was at the limit.
-
16:00 - 16:04What did the people from Island Guernsey do in 1816?
-
16:04 - 16:07A very simple thing, they took small pieces of paper
-
16:07 - 16:11they wrote on "One Pound"
-
16:11 - 16:14and "State of Island of Guernsey"
-
16:14 - 16:17and they spent them.
-
16:18 - 16:21Without borriowing or otherwise.
-
16:21 - 16:24They took small pieces of paper and they wrote on them "One Pound"
-
16:24 - 16:27and why did they take them? To pay the people
-
16:28 - 16:31who were unemployed to get them to go and to cut the trees
-
16:31 - 16:35reconstructing the structure of the market, the barriers to the port
-
16:35 - 16:38and the economy restarted, okay?
-
16:39 - 16:44This is defined The Guernsey Experiment
-
16:44 - 16:49it is mentioned in several documents in the following years
-
16:49 - 16:51also in 1900, so i quote for example 3
-
16:51 - 16:54and it is remembered as the story of Island of
-
16:54 - 16:58Guernsey that just created his own currency
-
16:58 - 17:03no cost to the taxpayers and establishing a prosperous community
-
17:03 - 17:05free community from debt.
-
17:05 - 17:07indeed thriving community, prosperous means another thing.
-
17:07 - 17:10Free community from debt.
-
17:10 - 17:15Then, the people in Island of Guernsey understood
-
17:15 - 17:17a very very simple thing
-
17:17 - 17:23the currency that all of us know
-
17:23 - 17:29as a way to exchange value and to save value.
-
17:29 - 17:32Actually it has another function very much more important
-
17:32 - 17:35that is the stimulus to the social development
-
17:35 - 17:38that we measure as economic growth.
-
17:39 - 17:41Now, because this thing here ...
-
17:41 - 17:45Here there are economists, sure. How many economists are there?
-
17:45 - 17:48One. Good, worse for you.
-
17:48 - 17:51Then, Which is the speech?
-
17:51 - 17:54That they did this operation
-
17:54 - 17:56they printed tens of thousands of pounds
-
17:56 - 17:59they threw them on the market, they bought the work
-
17:59 - 18:02and there was no inflation on the island. But how?
-
18:02 - 18:05If one prints currency, prints more currency out of nothing this creates inflation
-
18:05 - 18:08Why was there no inflation, for a very simple reason
-
18:08 - 18:14Because they invested to make useful things, productive activities
-
18:14 - 18:19but what happens if you print money and use it for example
-
18:19 - 18:22to mop up all the gold there is on the island?
-
18:22 - 18:25So as everyone seek it, and no one find it and they are willing to pay more
-
18:25 - 18:27and the next day they will sell it at a higher price.
-
18:27 - 18:29What is this name?
-
18:30 - 18:35Clearly they didn't use that money to do things like that
-
18:35 - 18:37not for speculative activities.
-
18:37 - 18:40Now i ask you a question, the quiz of the morning
-
18:40 - 18:43just to wake up who already has signs of slowing
-
18:43 - 18:49Can you imagine at 7 tonight. Then, question:
-
18:49 - 18:54What is percentage of loans provided by banks for productive activities today?
-
18:58 - 19:01Swich on it?
-
19:02 - 19:048%
-
19:04 - 19:07Obviously this refers to the UK market
-
19:07 - 19:11The european figure is a little difficult to assess
-
19:11 - 19:14but it was mentioned by Ben Dyson at the conference in London
-
19:14 - 19:16where i was time ago, where
-
19:16 - 19:19he is Ben Dyson of Positive Money
-
19:19 - 19:21who i met him, really a smart boy.
-
19:22 - 19:28He also mentioned the governor of the Bank of England on 25th October 2010 he said:
-
19:28 - 19:34"Of the many ways in which to organize the banking system what we have today is the worst"
-
19:34 - 19:38I didn't say that. I'm pessimist/conspirator
-
19:40 - 19:43Now, the question is
-
19:44 - 19:47but how can we resolve this problem we have today
-
19:47 - 19:53that is, the debt which is literally overflowing and flooding us?
-
19:53 - 19:57Then, the first part of solution i descrive summarily
-
19:57 - 20:02in my lectures sure is to do like the island of Guernsey
-
20:02 - 20:07breaking the link between the money emission and debt
-
20:07 - 20:13You'll say "but it's a very simple thing, maybe too simple"
-
20:13 - 20:16So you say " let's make a monetary reform
-
20:16 - 20:20we report the money emission to the state
-
20:20 - 20:22or to a public body, we say.
-
20:22 - 20:24Sorry, but at the beginning you have said that ...
-
20:24 - 20:26Who creates the money? The Central Bank.
-
20:26 - 20:28What is the Central Bank? A public body.
-
20:28 - 20:29So i..
-
20:31 - 20:34but in theory you should to think it's a public body
-
20:34 - 20:36I have learned so.
-
20:36 - 20:37Then i'm just saying :
-
20:37 - 20:40we do as all of us believe
-
20:40 - 20:43we report the money emission to the hand of a public body
-
20:43 - 20:46in order to break the link with debt.
-
20:46 - 20:49And you'll say ...
-
20:49 - 20:53you say all these things but someone else has thought about it, right?
-
20:53 - 20:57In fact in '80 years when the 500 Lire note was circulating yet
-
20:57 - 21:02you could see a substantial difference compared to 1000 Lire notes
-
21:02 - 21:08on 500 notes was written "Italian Republic State ticket legal tender"
-
21:08 - 21:11while on 1000 Lire notes was written "Bank of Italy"
-
21:11 - 21:13Where is the difference?
-
21:14 - 21:18Then, the 500 Lire notes with on written "Italian Republic"
-
21:18 - 21:23were printed by state and were expended, they did not represent any debt.
-
21:23 - 21:26while if you read "bank" ...
-
21:26 - 21:28What do banks do?
-
21:28 - 21:30Question to guy here below:
-
21:30 - 21:38what does the tabacconist on the corner do, what does he sell?
-
21:39 - 21:42What does tabacconist sell? What does a grocer sell?
-
21:42 - 21:45No, that one is a pusher.
-
21:45 - 21:47What does the tabacconist sell? The cigarettes.
-
21:48 - 21:50Then, what i ask you is: What does the bank sell?
-
21:52 - 21:55The credit, that is debt. Then if you read "bank"
-
21:55 - 21:58it means that someone has sold a debt to someone else.
-
21:58 - 22:00So this thing was done
-
22:00 - 22:03it's not invented by me, i will tell you more.
-
22:04 - 22:08In England the guy of Postive Money, Ben Dyson
-
22:08 - 22:11collected some documents, he wrote a good book
-
22:11 - 22:14and he managed to convince two british parliamentarians
-
22:14 - 22:18Labour Michael Meacherand and Conservative Steve Baker
-
22:18 - 22:22respectively to the left and right, because they are the left and right
-
22:22 - 22:30both to support the currency reform proposed by Positive Money.
-
22:30 - 22:32What does it propose as a first step?
-
22:32 - 22:34Exactly what we have said
-
22:34 - 22:37to bring again the money emission to the hand of the state, to public body
-
22:37 - 22:40not to Berlusconi or Bersani, clearly
-
22:40 - 22:45to a public body which is able to value the impact and to do that
-
22:45 - 22:49So this proposal is in the hands of two parliamentarians
-
22:49 - 22:53Last Wednesday Ben and Josh Dyson
-
22:53 - 22:55the writer of the book I have just mentioned
-
22:55 - 22:58they also met other parlamentarians behind close doors
-
22:58 - 23:02at the British Parliament, to propose it.
-
23:02 - 23:06So this is not something invented by me, I come from Romagna.
-
23:07 - 23:12Then obviously there are other points for a proposal of monetary reform
-
23:12 - 23:16i propose at the lectures such as point for reflection
-
23:16 - 23:19today there is no time, i have already breached the 2 minutes and 30 seconds
-
23:19 - 23:26and then tomorrow if there is time at the meeting that will continue tomorrow
-
23:30 - 23:35but now to conclude i quote a saying i really like
-
23:35 - 23:37"think global act local".
-
23:37 - 23:39We have talked about this issue of debt
-
23:39 - 23:41of monetary system at the global level
-
23:41 - 23:43But what can we do now?
-
23:43 - 23:46Then, i and my friend Lore Prod
-
23:46 - 23:50he is an artist and graphic designer from Romagna
-
23:50 - 23:52we do great drinking
-
23:52 - 24:00we have created a manifest. This manifest tries to do
-
24:00 - 24:03what i think it is necessary to do now.
-
24:03 - 24:07that is to focus the attention on issue and solution
-
24:07 - 24:09on a possible solution.
-
24:09 - 24:11What is the problem today?
-
24:11 - 24:15All currency is debt today, it is emitted by private banks
-
24:15 - 24:18is encumbered by interests and can only grow.
-
24:18 - 24:21What, money or debt? They're the same thing.
-
24:23 - 24:26What is right asking? Correct is asking
-
24:26 - 24:31to bring again the money emission that we all use to the public hand.
-
24:31 - 24:33The money is a tool not the purpose.
-
24:34 - 24:37Then you can see archetype combination
-
24:37 - 24:41dead and life, disorder-order, gray-color
-
24:41 - 24:42In short we have worked a little
-
24:42 - 24:44if someone here does communication sciences
-
24:44 - 24:47He can write an article.
-
24:47 - 24:52I'll also tell you, finally what is meaning of that hummingbird up there at the top corner.
-
24:54 - 24:56I tell you a little story about hummingbird
-
24:56 - 25:00Then, there is a bug large forest fire
-
25:00 - 25:03all animals are fleeing included the lion
-
25:03 - 25:07is running away from the forest and crosses a hummingbird
-
25:07 - 25:11that is flying in opposite direction with a drop of water in its beak.
-
25:11 - 25:14Lion looks at it and says:
-
25:14 - 25:17"Hummingbird, where are you going with that drop of water?"
-
25:17 - 25:21hummingbird looks at it again seriously and says:
-
25:21 - 25:24"I don't know you, but i do my part"
-
25:25 - 25:27Thank you and i have finished with this.
