The Parrot Who Lost A Wing

In this story, a parrot saves a life and sacrifices herself to save him. But how? How did she get honored? Everything inside this story!

Once in a village there was a parrot. She would say prayers to everyone. People called her '

Perry'. But one day, a massive fire broke out. Perry watched it with eager eyes and flew

towards it as it never saw a thing. Somebody shouted, " Stay away Perry, it's dangerous!" 

Perry backed up from the fire. She heard a loud scream from a young boy in a house in the 

opposite direction. She saw a mother crying near the house. Kind enough, she flew to the open 

windows in the house. "P... P... Perry?" Said the boy shaking. The parrot started facing 

outside. 

At that 

second, he realized she was facing towards the tree near the windows. The parrot encouraged 

the boy to do his best and jump outside the windows and land on a branch. So, the boy jumped 

out terrified. Although he got tangled in the leaves, he held a branch before falling in the fire 

above him. The firefighters arrived at this scene. They asked, 'where is he?' The parrot who 

flew down to them again faced the tree. "We do not understand you." They replied. So, the

parrot flew to the tree and the firefighter got to know. They instinctively used a ladder to 

climb. 

But the screams of the boy grew louder the more they got rid of the fire. "What happened?" 

They asked. 

'Perry!' He replied. The firefighters threw buckets of water, but it was too late. The fire burned 

the parrot's wing! From that day onwards, the villagers grew a tree in the middle of the 

village and called it 

"Perry tree" where Perry would live. They celebrated Perry day whenever Perry's act of 

heroism and sacrifice came.

A beautifully penned story which paints a picture of a little bird who sacrificed his wing to save the life of a little boy! Very poignant! So nice that the villagers planted a tree for the precious little bird to live in! They showed their gratitude in the nicest way to the little bird. Excellently penned story, thank you for sharing, dear poetess... Lovely work!

That was a cute little bird story dear . Even a small creature adds to acts of kindness and inspire us to be brave. It was so nice of the neighbourhood to remember Perry and what a green way to felicitate the green birdie !
