The Bird with Two Heads

The Bird with Two Heads

Once upon a time, in a distant forest filled with tall trees and vibrant colors, there lived a remarkable bird named Bharunda. What made Bharunda truly unique was that he had not just one, but two heads! These two heads, although attached to the same body, had very different personalities.

Bold, the head on the left side, was known for his adventurous spirit. He loved exploring new places, meeting different creatures, and experiencing thrilling adventures. On the other hand, Cautious, the head on the right side, was more careful and thoughtful. He always considered the consequences of their actions and tried to keep them out of trouble.

One sunny day, while flying around the forest, Bharunda came across a glimmering golden fruit. It was the most beautiful fruit he had ever seen, shining brightly like the sun itself. The golden fruit hung from a tree, tantalizingly close to the ground. Bold’s eyes sparkled with excitement as he exclaimed, “Oh, what a marvelous fruit! I must taste it immediately!”

But Cautious, being his usual prudent self, cautioned, “Hold on, Bold! Let’s think this through. We have only one stomach, and if you eat the fruit, it will go to the same stomach we share. That means I won’t get to taste it.”

Bold looked at the golden fruit longingly and then at Cautious. He understood his brother’s concern but couldn’t resist the temptation. “Well, that’s just how it is,” Bold replied with a shrug. “I found it first, so I get to enjoy it.”

Cautious felt a bit disappointed, but he understood the situation. He knew Bold’s impulsive nature and decided not to push the matter further. Bold took a big bite of the golden fruit and savored its sweetness. The taste was truly divine, making Bold’s heart dance with joy.

Later that day, while exploring the forest further, Cautious stumbled upon a peculiar tree. Hanging from its branches were fruits that looked quite dangerous. They were dark, twisted, and emitted an unpleasant odor. Cautious’s eyes widened with concern as he carefully plucked one of these fruits and rushed back to Bold, eager to share his discovery.

“Bold, look what I found!” Cautious exclaimed, holding up the poisonous fruit. “This fruit is dangerous, and we should stay away from it. It can harm us.”

But Bold’s face turned red with anger. “How dare you interfere with my happiness! I found the golden fruit, and now you want to ruin everything! Well, I won’t let you.” Bold’s feathers fluffed up with fury as he clenched his talons.

Cautious, taken aback by Bold’s intense reaction, tried to reason with him. “Please, Bold, don’t eat this poisonous fruit. It will harm both of us. Let’s be wise and avoid trouble.”

But Bold’s stubbornness got the better of him. He shouted, “I don’t care! I will eat this fruit and take my revenge on you for spoiling my joy!” His voice echoed through the forest, disturbing the peace.

Cautious pleaded one last time, “Think about what you’re doing, Bold. If you eat that fruit, we will both suffer the consequences. Let’s find a way to solve this peacefully.”

However, Bold refused to listen to reason. He defiantly took a bite of the poisonous fruit, ignoring the warnings echoing in his ears. As the juice of the poisonous fruit touched his tongue, a wave of agony rushed through their shared body. Both heads writhed in pain, gasping for breath.

Within moments, both heads collapsed to the ground, lifeless. The once magnificent Bharunda had met

 a tragic end due to the foolishness and anger of one of its heads.

The forest mourned the loss of such a majestic creature. The animals, birds, and even the trees whispered tales of the bird with two heads and the lessons to be learned. They spoke of how anger and stubbornness can cloud one’s judgment and lead to disastrous consequences.

And so, dear children, we learn an important lesson from the story of the Bird with Two Heads. It takes two to start a quarrel, but only one wise decision to end it. If both heads had chosen to listen to each other and find a peaceful solution, they could have avoided their unfortunate fate.

The forest continued to whisper this valuable lesson, ensuring that the story of Bharunda and the golden fruit would be remembered for generations to come.
