An Owl and Dove

Once upon a time there was an owl who traveled far to move from forest to another forest. In this
long journey, he met a dove. The dove was very amazed to see an owl that was so hastily. He Said, “Hi,
Owl! Where do you want to go? “

The owl spun for a moment in the air to see the dove, and then replied, “Aiih! It is too difficult to get
along with the neighbors. You know, I have the talent to sing, if night comes, I really like humming. But,
well … it looks like all of them do not like to hear my voice. Whereas I want to amuse them by singing.
What can be made? It is better I leave this place and move to another forest! “

Hearing this, it said, “the owl, we know you have lived here for tens of years. All the neighbors
around you have known you. Why should you move to another foreign place…? Do you think you will
find difference in your new neighbors? “

It continued, “According to me, you better change your singing voice tone a little. The neighbors will
surely love it. If not so, everywhere you go, just the same. You will still be disliked. “

Hearing what the dove had said, the Owl bowed his head. He thought the dove was really right. He was
embarrassed. And soon he continued flying again. However, he was seen flying back toward his home in
the old forest.
