Once upon a time, in a big forest, there lived a hardworking sparrow. The sparrow admired the respected peacock very much. Every day, the sparrow visited him, watching his grace and fairness. The peacock was a natural leader among the birds.
One sunny morning, many different birds gathered on a high mountain. They talked, and one bird said, “We are many and different, but having a king could unite us and solve our problems.”
The sparrow liked this idea and suggested the peacock as their king because he was already respected and a good leader.
The sparrow said, "Let us choose the peacock as our king. He is graceful and fair." The birds liked the idea and agreed. They made the peacock their king. The peacock, happy with this, made the sparrow his secretary and advisor.
The sparrow started helping to manage the kingdom. He made sure everything was good under the peacock’s rule. Every day, he brought food and water for the king. But one morning, the sparrow did not come at his usual time, and the peacock became worried.
When the sparrow finally came, the peacock asked, "What made you late today, my trusted friend?"
The sparrow answered with some fear, "Today, I saw a man setting up nets and putting grains nearby. I watched as a crane and his wife got caught in the net. Their cries were sad, and the hunter took them away. I am scared for my safety near my nest. I need to leave."
The peacock tried to comfort him and said, "Do not leave your home out of fear. Sometimes we cannot escape what is meant to happen."
Feeling better, the sparrow decided to stay. He continued his duties but was careful when he went out. One day, on his way to the peacock’s place, the sparrow saw two sparrows fighting on the ground. He thought, "As the king's advisor, I should help stop this fight."
He went to stop the fight, but suddenly a net trapped him and the other birds.
The hunter, who set the trap, was happy and said to his helper, "Take good care of this fat sparrow; he’s the best catch!"
At that moment, the sparrow realized his mistake and thought, "I should have trusted my instincts and taken action when I first felt unsafe. It's important to listen to advice, but ultimately, I am responsible for my own safety."
Once upon a time, in a big, lively forest full of trees, flowers, and, oh yes, a lot of bird poo, there lived a sparrow who was as busy as a bee. Well, technically, busier than a bee because, you know, bees only work with honey, and this sparrow had a lot more on his plate.
Every day, the sparrow would zoom over to check out the fanciest bird in the forest—the peacock. Now, this peacock wasn’t just a pretty face with feathers that screamed, “Look at me!” He was also pretty good at making decisions, like which side of the tree had the best sunlight for napping. The sparrow admired him so much that if there were a 'Biggest Fan' award, the sparrow would win it hands down—er, wings down.
One bright and sunny morning, all the birds got together on the tallest mountain they could find. Why? Because they needed a little fresh air and a break from dodging squirrels, obviously. While they were up there, one bird, who might’ve had a bit too much morning worm, chirped out, “Hey, what if we had a king? Someone to unite us! Someone to tell us when it’s okay to sing, and when it’s time to, you know, not sing!”
The sparrow, quick as a flash, piped up, “Let’s pick the peacock! He’s graceful, he’s fair, and let’s be honest, folks, he’s got the best tail feathers this side of the forest!”
The other birds thought this was a smashing idea. The peacock, being the humble feathered superstar he was, puffed up a bit more than usual and accepted the crown. And who got the cool job of being the king’s right-wing bird? You guessed it—the sparrow! He became the official secretary and advisor, which was just a fancy way of saying he did all the work while the peacock took all the credit.
Every day, the sparrow buzzed around, making sure everything was top-notch in the kingdom. He brought food, water, and even made sure the peacock’s feathers were always in tip-top shape. But one morning, the sparrow didn’t show up at his usual time. The peacock, who wasn’t used to waiting (except for compliments, which he could wait for all day), started to worry.
When the sparrow finally arrived, out of breath and with a couple of ruffled feathers, the peacock asked, “Where have you been, my speedy little friend? Did you get caught in a worm traffic jam?”
The sparrow, looking a bit jumpy, replied, “Oh, it’s way worse than that! I saw this guy, and he wasn’t exactly bird-friendly, if you know what I mean. He set up some sneaky nets with grains to trick us birds, and before I knew it, two cranes were caught! Their cries were so sad, it was like someone canceled their vacation! I’m scared for my nest and my feathers—I might need to move to a safer branch.”
The peacock, trying to look wise (but mostly just looking like he was thinking about lunch), said, “Don’t fly away just yet! Sometimes, what’s meant to happen will happen, like finding that last sunflower seed under a pile of leaves. You can’t escape destiny, even if you’re as fast as you are!”
The sparrow, feeling a bit better, decided to stay. But from that day on, he kept one eye on the ground and the other on the sky, just in case. One day, while he was on his way to the peacock’s place, he spotted two sparrows bickering over a crumb. “Oh dear,” he thought, “As the king’s advisor, it’s my duty to break up this squabble! I mean, we can’t have a kingdom full of arguing birds. Who’d bring the snacks to the meetings?”
But just as he swooped down to play peacemaker, SNAP! A net trapped him along with the two squabbling sparrows. The hunter, who was quite pleased with himself, clapped his hands and said to his helper, “Well, well, what do we have here? This little sparrow’s the best catch of the day! He’ll make a fine addition to the collection!”
As the sparrow sat in the net, he had one of those lightbulb moments, like, “Bing!” He realized that sometimes, no matter how many feathers you have, you’ve got to trust your instincts. After all, if you don’t look out for yourself, you might end up as someone else’s dinner—or worse, someone’s pet!
And so, the sparrow learned that while advice is great, sometimes you’ve got to flap your wings and follow your own path, even if it leads you away from the peanut butter.
In a forest tall and grand,
A sparrow worked with careful hand.
He admired the peacock, proud and fair,
A leader of birds with feathers so rare.
Each day the sparrow watched with glee,
As the peacock led them, wild and free.
One bright day, the birds did meet,
On a mountain high, in the summer heat.
"Let’s have a king to lead us all,
To solve our problems, big and small."
The sparrow chirped, "The peacock’s wise,
With grace and strength, he’ll surely rise!"
The birds agreed with joyful cheer,
The peacock’s rule was now clear.
He made the sparrow his trusty guide,
To help him rule with love and pride.
The sparrow served with all his might,
Bringing food and water, morning light.
But one day, late, he came in haste,
His heart was pounding, full of waste.
"The hunter set a trap today,
And caught two cranes who flew away.
I'm scared for my nest, what should I do?
Should I stay, or bid adieu?"
The peacock said with a gentle tone,
"Don't fear what’s set in stone.
Stay with us, don't run in fright,
Sometimes, fate is out of sight."
The sparrow stayed and carried on,
But was cautious from dusk till dawn.
One day, on his usual flight,
He saw two sparrows in a fight.
He swooped to help, with a heart so true,
But a net caught him and the others too.
The hunter smiled, "A prize I’ve found,
This sparrow’s worth his weight in sound!"
The sparrow thought with a heavy sigh,
"I should have listened to my inner cry.
It's wise to heed advice that’s near,
But our safety lies within our own ear."
