Ubuntu-I am happy because we are

Ubuntu

One  scientist   devised  a new game in Africa,

He kept a  basket full of sweets  hundred feet away,

Amd told   fifty children   that  , the one  ,

Who reaches   first   the basket  would get all  the sweets.

They all smiled, held   each others   hand tightly  ,

Ran together  , reached  the basket together  ,

And divided   the sweets   equally among themselves,

And the scientist was aghast and   asked them why?

They all  said in chorus  in a very loud  voice “Ubuntu”

Which in their  language  meant , “How can any one ,

Be happy ,  when all his    friends   are sad” and the scientist,

Understood “I am happy  because   we are-Ubuntu”
