Once, a Falconer lived in a kingdom. He went to the forest, every
day, to catch birds and sell them. One day, he saw a rare Kite. The Kite was
magnificent and strong. But the Falconer was lucky and captured the Kite,
while it was taking a nap in its nest.
The Falconer decided to gift the precious bird to the King.
`If I give this Kite to the King, he might give me a reward,’ the
Falconer thought. When the Kite was taken to the King, it flew and sat on his
nose. The people in the King’s court could not control their laughter at
the funny sight. The King remained silent. He could not scream or shout.
“Come here, you silly bird! That is no place to sit,” cried the
Falconer. He was afraid of being punished. The Kite refused to move.
“I will beat you, black and blue if you don’t move!” warned the
Falconer.
The Kite still did not move.
Finally, the King announced, “Kite, you are free to go. You are no
longer a prisoner of the Falconer.”
Hearing this, the Kite left the King’s nose and flew away to its
freedom.
Freedom is precious to all creatures.
