Lizard's Love

In order to renovate the house, someone in Japan tears open the wall. Japanese houses normally have a hollow space between the wooden walls.
When tearing down the walls, he found that there was a lizard stuck there because a nail from outside hammered into one of its feet. He sees this, feels pity and at the same time curious, as when he checked the nail, it was nailed 10 years ago when house was first built.
The lizard has survived in such position for 10 years!?!! In a dark wall partition for 10 years without moving, it is impossible and mind boggling.
Then he wondered, how this lizard survived for 10 years without moving a single step - since its feet was nailed!
So he stopped his work and observed the lizard, what has it been doing and what has it been eating? Later, don't know from where appears another lizard, with food in its mouth... AHHH! He was stunned and touched deeply. For the lizard that was stuck by nail, another lizard has been feeding it for the past 10 years..
Such a love, such a beautiful love!! Such love happened even on this tiny creature... What can love do? It can do wonders!! Imagine it has been doing it without getting tired for some 10 yrs, without giving up hope on its partner. Imagine could you have done it for someone ? Imagine what a small creature can do but a creature blessed with the brilliant mind can't.

As the technology advances, our access to information becomes faster and faster. But the distance between human beings, is it getting closer as well?
