My Expressions

Once there was a beautiful white owl named Whitty. Though he was pretty, he was a bit foolish. When he was a baby, his parents had said to him “One day you’ll be very big. You’ll touch the sky and count the stars.” The owl heard the second line and now at night, he roams around in the sky and counts the stars. In the morning he sits on the topmost branch of the big Banyan Tree.

Whitty’s parents had also said “Talk wisely with everyone. Don’t talk if not needed.” He had again heard the second sentence and so much fool obedient he was that he never talks to anybody though all the other animals of the jungle always praise his beauty. He had never said a Thank You to anyone also.

One day at night, as usual, Whitty started counting “11245, 11246, 11247………”

But this time it was much louder and others were getting very irritated. Many requested him to stop but there was no response from Whitty. All of them were exhausted hearing his endless counting. So the next morning, a whole group of animals marched to the nearby sage. They together said “Oh sage! Please help us!”

The Giraffe said “Our Whitty owl of the jungle counts stars of the night sky every day and never talks to anybody. And…………..”

Then he narrated the whole story. The sage replied “Okay! I’ll go with you all.”

After walking for a few hours, the sage reached the jungle. He chanted a mantra and called Whitty, the white owl down. He took four days to teach Whitty all the basic things. The sage lastly said to him “You know almost everything, Whitty. One thing is left that is, stars are endless in numbers so stop counting them.” The line struck Whitty’s mind.

The sage added “Unknowingly, you have put a lot of effort in counting the stars so I bless you that your passing generations will be able to see very well at night than day. Also, white owls will be considered as lucky.”

From that day on Whitty changed himself and started loving & talking to others.
