DURING a routine tea break outside in a park, my friend and I witnessed a striking scene that left a deep impression on me. While we were enjoying the tea, hundreds of crows suddenly filled the sky crowing loudly, drawing the attention of everyone around. Some people stopped to watch, while others began recording the rare spectacle. In the midst of this cacophony, we noticed a cat had caught a crow. Within moments, the crows got united and aggressively surrounded the cat, creating such a huge chorus that the confused predator was forced to abandon its prey.

I learned a powerful lesson about unity and collective strength. When individuals stand together for a common cause, even the strongest opponent can be defeated. The crows succeeded in protecting their fellow not through individual power, but through solidarity and coordination.

The same principle applies to human society. Unity has always been the driving force behind success against injustice.
