There was a small bird,very cute which was very happy and lived its life on its own terms - carefree and blissful,it flew from one tree to another and wandered aimlessly in the spring.
It had everything a bird ever needed or wanted,after exploring life in the countryside it came home to its family every night and thus it spend many years of its life.
One such evening while returning to its family,it stopped for a break near a big beautiful house,on looking inside,it found beautiful chairs and tables and pretty curtains.It thought how wonderful it must be to live in such a big,grand house.While it thought so,a little boy came and took the bird in its hand,he exclaimed "Mom! look at this pretty bird,can I please keep it?" His mom replied "Okay son,make sure you take good care of such a pretty one".
The little boy was very happy and so was the bird,its dream had come true so quickly,it was going to live in the grand house.For a week the boy and the bird had a great time.every evening the boy came and played with it for an hour,as for the rest of the day,the bird was put in a strong iron cage.
Days passed by and it grew sadder,the boy wondered what was wrong with the bird.
He fed the bird well,gave it enough water,what more could a small bird need!
Months later the boy noticed that the bird had gone thin and frail.He could not understand and fed the bird with better food,grains and water.And on the way home from his school,he stopped at a shop and bought a bigger,stronger,golden cage!!!!
All his friends exclaimed that the cage was so beautiful and the bird was so lucky to have it.It had strong,shining rods.The bird was transferred to the exquisite cage and weeks later died.
