Beauty and Songy
Once in an old oak tree, there lived two birds, a blue jay
bird named Beauty and a yellow canary bird named Songy. On a breezy evening,
songy started to sing. Beauty wanted to retire for bed after her dinner. But
due to the continuous singing of Songy, she could not fall sleep. So, she asked
Songy to stop her singing. But Songy did not listen to her words and kept
singing. Beauty put on her earmuffs and tried to sleep. After some time,
Songy's throat started aching, her voice changed. He could not sing anymore.
Beauty realized that Songy has got a sore throat to continuous singing. Beauty
said, "I asked you to slow down your singing, you affected your
throat!". Songy could not speak now. She signed in action, "Beauty,
please help me!". Beauty agreed to help her and responded," I have no
pepper at home, so I will make a warm corn soup for your throat. Have it and
rest well!" Songy had the soup and went to sleep. Next morning, Songy was
able to speak and sing and she woke Beauty with a melodious song. Songy thanked
Beauty for her help and understood that she should not be doing something to
disturb their neighbours.
Moral: Keep the volume down on your television, never
disturb your neighbours. Loud noise can cause damage to your own ears also. Too
much of anything is good for anything.
I like the stories very much, thank you. Reading short stories is fun.
