Even thorns have a purpose |

"Near the western coast of Madagascar, there exists a strange forest of limestone rocks shaped like giant needles. It is home to many creatures found nowhere else in the world.
The Silky Sifakas were granted a special gift by the Moon God, which turned its silky coat similar to moonlight. The Sifakas were extremely proud of their good looks but soon found out that their shiny coat made them more visible to the cunning Fossa (a cat- like hunter). Soon their numbers began to diminish alarmingly. The surviving Silky Sifakas took shelter in a rocky forest and asked the Moon God for help. To protect his beloved lemurs, the Moon God turned the rocks into a forest of huge needles. These needles were sharp enough to cut one in half, turning the forest into a difficult place for the Fossa to intrude in. The Sifakas had finally found a safe place to dwell in.
Why would the thorns be so vital in making our journey safer and purposeful?(Ed.)
