THE NAUGHTY BIRD |
|
Once upon a time, a pair of birds built their nest on the branch
of a tall tree. They had three young ones. The young ones had just
started opening their tiny eyes. But their wings and tails were
yet to be developed. Of the three of them, one was very naughty. |
|
The mother bird enjoined, "Do not
go out of the nest".
|
|
One day, the parents flew away to a distant place in search of
food. At that time, the naught young one came out of the perch in
defiance of the warning given by the mother. Ultimately, it fell
down and died with a broken neck. The dead body was carried away
by a swarm of ants to feast upon. |
