H Musa (A S) and the Green creature

On a calm day H. Musa Happened to pass through an uninhabited place in the wilderness and solitude abruptly  a thought cropped  up in his mind as he presumed that in such a place I think no one else then him is batter soul to remember God . So he had developed sense of pride which is uncalled  for  a prophet .
Instantly he heard chorus of various living things that where praising God with different words from up and inside the earth
Soon he heard the command of Almighty who ordered  H.Musa to strike his stick on the raised hard rock in front of him. H Musa did the same and observed a crack appeared in a strong rock, recessed apart and water from below was gushing in the cracked space. He was again instructed to strike his stick on the water, to his astonishment, he saw a small green creature hopped up with jerk and got positioned  on a piece of rock that appeared in the mid of gushing water it was continually uttering spectrum of words of remembrance of Almighty .
H. Musa asked the Creature and was replied that hundred of years back it was under this water, later the rocky pieces approached nearer  and sealed it  from the above leaving it in darkness.
On this creature thought what could be better place for remembering  God then this place of undisturbed surrounding.  Since than it gets water two times a day but it  has not been drinking it because if it did so, the time taken in drinking will be without remembering  God may be for few seconds  during this discontinuance if death approaches then Almighty may become angry on it and it is sure to get punishment, so , by refusing the given water it is able to remember God  nonstop
H. Musa after this incident almost felt unconscious and requested Almighty to forgive and pardon him for the proudy thought that interrupted his mind.
Micro or mega living /Nonliving plants and Birds are all created by God for his remembrance and praise and each keeps busy in the remembrance but what about us- the best creation of God. Do we also do the same ? Shame on  people like us which engage in other worldly affairs instead of divine ZiKR of ALLAH.
Note:
It Is an admitted fact that stories of pious and Godly people are meant  to derive benefit, they serve as beacon of basic faith and its practices, and in turn Almighty’s blessing and mercy and encouragement  in the heart of such people are bound to come.
