Image
       Long, long time ago, there was a strange bird name Bharund. It had single body but two heads. Its neck split in two branches holding a head each. Inspite of sharing a common body the heads we're distinguished. Each head had its own mind. They seldom agreed with each other.         If one mind wanted to go east, the other would wish to go West. As a result Bharund would take one step forward and another step backwards getting nowhere. This, the life of Bharund had become a tug-of-war between the two minds. The heads we're jealous of each other.          One day, Bharund was looking for food on the bank of the river. One of the head happen to see a delicious looking fruit on the ground.         It took a bite of it and yummed, "Umm, never tasted such delicacy. It is a God's great gift."         The other head said, "Really? Let me also taste it." ...

Many fish came to this water body from the river lured by food. And for spawning, all the fish came their. This water body was hidden by tall grass and bushes.        A group of three fish lived there. They were different in nature and thinking.

             There was a huge tree on which live scores of swans. Among them was an old wise swan. He was very farsighted. All the swans respectfully called him “Wise one.”                One day he saw a tiny climber plant beginning to encircle the trunk of the tree near its base. The wise one called the swans and warned, Look, destroy that climber. Some day it will lead us to death.” A young swan questioned, “How can that tiny plant lead us to death?”               The wise one explained, “It looks tiny today. Soon it will climb up spiralling around the tree trunk. The main body of the climber will became strong and thick. It will attach itself to the tree and serve as a ladder to reach us. Then, any hunter would easily climb up to kill us.”        ...
