The Two Parrots
Short Story on "The Two Parrots"
One time there lived a King, his Son and two Parrots. The Prince and the Baby Parrot were very fond of each other and grew up together. The Prince was fond of birds. So, one day, he petted a Sparrow in the garden. The Parrot did not like it, as the Sparrow was his enemy.
One day, while they were playing together, there arose a fight and the Parrot pecked the Sparrow. The shocked Prince picked the dead Sparrow and in anger, killed the Parrot. The father of the Baby Parrot heard the sad news that his son was dead. He attacked the Prince and pierced both his eyes. Then he flew to a tall tree for safety.
The Prince requested the Parrot, “Forget all that has happened, and please return.” The King added, “It is destiny that has brought such a sad tragedy. That your child should die and mine become blind.” The Parrot replied, “How can I trust you, after what has happened? It’s better for me to be far from you, than to experience your love turned to hate.”
Moral: Do not trust a revengeful person.
