The Strange Bird with Two Heads

Once upon a time, there lived a strange bird with two heads, one facing the left and the other facing the right.

The two heads used to fight and argue with each other, even for straightforward reasons.

Though they shared the same body, the two heads behaved like rivals!

The strange bird lived in a giant banyan tree along the river bank.

One day, while flying over the river, the left head of the bird saw a beautiful tree with bright red fruit 🍒

The left head of the bird wanted to eat the fruit, and the bird flew down to pick the fruit from the tree.

The bird plucked the sweet-smelling fruit, sat by the river banks, and started eating it.

The left head consumed the fruit.

While it was eating, the right head asked, “Can you give me a piece to taste?” The left head said, “See, we have only one stomach. So even if I eat in my mouth, it will go only into our stomach.”

“But I want to taste the fruit, so you should give me.”

The left head replied angrily, “I saw the fruit, and hence, I have the right to eat it without sharing it with anyone.

” The right head felt sad and became silent.

A few days later, while the bird was flying over the river again, the right head saw a beautiful pink fruit in a tree.

The bird flew down near the tree and tried to pick and eat the fruit.

The other birds in the tree said, “Don’t eat it. It is a poisonous fruit. It will kill you.” The left head shouted, “Don’t eat it. Don’t eat it.” However, the right head did not listen to the left lead. The right head said, “I will eat it because I saw it. You have no right to stop me.” The left leader shouted, “Please don’t eat it. We will all die.” The right head said, “Since I saw it, I have the right to eat it.”

The right leader was trying to take revenge on the left leader for not sharing the red fruit with it earlier. Finally, the pink fruit was eaten by the right leader, and in a few minutes, the strange bird with the two heads dropped down dead!

Moral: A quarrel between the individuals in a family will affect the whole family badly.
