Which sentence supports the idea that the hummingbird story on which a sand sculpture is based has a message about the significance of individual actions?
The story on which the sculpture is based is about a hummingbird that helps out other animals and its home. A HUGE FOREST WHERE THE HUMMINGBIRD LIVES IS ON FIRE, SO THE STORY GOES. The other animals watch their home burning, overwhelmed by the destruction. BUT THE BRAVE HUMMINGBIRD, DESPITE ITS SMALL SIZE, RUSHES TO A STREAM AND STARTS CARRYING WATER-ONE DROP AT A TIME -TO THE FIRE. Over and over, the hummingbird repeats this as other, much larger animals merely watch. THE OTHER ANIMALS CAN'T BELIEVE IT. They doubt that the small hummingbird can do anything to stop such a huge fire. BUT THE HUMMINGBIRD TELLS THE OTHER ANIMALS THAT IT'S SIMPLY DOING THE BEST IT CAN.
The sentence that supports the idea is:
"The other animals can't believe it. They doubt that the small hummingbird can do anything to stop such a huge fire. But the hummingbird tells the other animals that it's simply doing the best it can."
