THE PRAYING MANTIS

When man was born, he was born in beautiful Africa. His world was spectacular and wonderous and new, and he marvelled at its life an its might. He wanted nothing more than to give praise to it all, so he came across a mantis praying to all of creation. With its paws outstretched it gave homage to its maker and all of life. The man too stretched out his hands, and gave a silent prayer of devotion to nature, and his soul was made complete. This is how the mantis taught man how to pray. (The Hottentot's God - The Praying Mantis.)
