There once lived a bird and her two new-born babies in a forest. They had a nest in a tall, shady tree and there the mother bird took care of her little ones day and night. One day there was a big storm. There was thunder lightning and rain and the wind blew down many trees. The tall tree in which the birds lived. The all tree in which the birds lived also came down. A big heavy branch hit the nest and killed the bird. fortunately for the baby birds the strong wind blew them away to the other side of the forest. One of them came down near a cave where a gang of robbers lived. The other landed outside a rishi's ashram a little distance away. Days passed and the baby birds become big birds. One day, the king of the country came to the forest to hunt. He saw a deer and rode after it. It ran deep into the forest followed by the king. soon the king lost his way and didn't know where he was. He rode on for a long time till he came to the other side of the forest. Very tired by now he got off his horse and sat down under a tree that stood near a cave. Suddenly he heard a voice cay out Quick! Hurry up! There's someone under the tree. Come and take his jewels and his horse. Hurry or else he'll slip away. The king was amazed. he looked up and saw a big brown bird on the tree under which the was sitting. He also heard faint noises issuing from the cave. He quickly got on to his horse and rode away as fast as he could. Soon he come to a clearing which looked like an ashram. It was the rishi's ashram. The king tied his horse to a tree and sat down in its shade. Suddenly he heard a gentle voice announce Welcome to the ashram Sir.
