Once upon a time there lived a generous, kind-hearted king. He was fond
of birds and animals had a huge bird sanctuary in his reign. He dislikes
harming the animals and birds and even did not kill them for the sake
of eating meat.
Owing to his generosity and kindness towards, he
was gifted two beautiful falcons by his fellow businessman. Those two
falcons belong to different place and lived in a different climatic
condition.
The king thanked the businessman and ordered the head of the bird trainer to provide all the facilities to those beautiful falcons and make them feel comfortable in their country.
The king thanked the businessman and ordered the head of the bird trainer to provide all the facilities to those beautiful falcons and make them feel comfortable in their country.
The head trainer took the birds and provided all
essentials to help the birds adapt to the atmosphere. Gradually, the
birds adapted to the country’s atmosphere. One
day the king wanted to see the falcons fly as he heard that one of those
falcons fly to great heights in a very high speed.
The king was
quite surprised and rewarded the bird trainer with handful of gold
coins. He enquired about the other falcon bird. The bird trainer head
stated with regret that the other falcon did not move even a step from
the day one and just sits in the branch. The trainer also added that he
tried everything best he could do and still he failed to make this bird
move. The king consoled him and told the trainer that he would
bring someone who is more experienced than him or an old man who knew
about falcons.
Falcon bird in a branchThe king announced about
his requirement to make falcon move and fly. Hearing this announcement,
an old man reached King’s place and assured him that he would make the
bird fly like the other one.
The king asked the head trainer to
take the old man to the sanctuary to train the falcon and he told that
he would visit them tomorrow to see if there is any change.
Next
day, the king was very surprised to see the other falcon fly like the
first one to great heights in rapid speed. The king was too happy and
rewarded him handful.
The king asked what he has done to make the
bird fly in a day. The old man simply replied, ‘I just cut down the
branch of the tree where this falcon bird sits.’
Many of us are like
this. We have wings to fly, we know how to fly, and where to fly still
we sit doing nothing or doing something that makes us inferior to
others.
Don’t try to walk when you have wings to fly !
