The Pleasure of Freedom
The Pleasure of Freedom :
Once in a jungle a beautiful golden bird had made her home on a tree. When she sang, shiny pearls fell from her open beak.
One day a bird catcher came to the jungle. Soon he spread a net and the poor golden bird was caught in it. The bird catcher took the bird home and kept it in a silver cage and fed it well. But the sad bird did not sing at all and the hunter never got any pearls.
The bird catcher sold the caged bird to a merchant. The merchant gifted that golden bird to the king. The king thought, "Hmm ... that's a nice bird. I'll give it to the princess to play with."
So the king gave the caged bird to the princess.
She was a beautiful girl with a kind heart.
She at once freed the golden bird. The pleasure of freedom made the golden bird sing aloud and soon a shower of pearls fell in the room of princess.
The golden bird came to meet the princess everyday and sang for her.
