The Tale of Myna, the Magical Bird
In a lush and vibrant forest in India, there once lived a young girl named Priya. Priya had an extraordinary gift — she could understand the language of birds. Every day, she would wander into the forest, listening to the melodious songs and conversations of the winged creatures.
One day, while exploring the woods, Priya stumbled upon a wounded myna bird lying on the forest floor. With tender care, she nursed the bird back to health, and in gratitude, the myna revealed its magical ability — the power to grant wishes to those who showed kindness to it.
Overjoyed by this revelation, Priya wished for the well-being of the forest and its inhabitants. The myna, named Mithra, agreed to aid her in this noble cause.
As days passed, the forest flourished. Trees bore luscious fruits, flowers bloomed in vibrant colors, and the animals thrived in harmony. Word of the magical myna and the blessed forest spread far and wide.
However, Priya’s kindness attracted the attention of a greedy sorcerer, Kaliya, who coveted Mithra’s powers for himself. Kaliya captured the myna and imprisoned it in a cage, intending to exploit its abilities for personal gain.
Determined to rescue her feathered friend and restore balance to the forest, Priya sought the help of the forest animals. Together, they devised a plan to outsmart Kaliya and free Mithra.
Under the cover of darkness, as Kaliya slumbered, Priya and the animals stealthily approached the sorcerer’s abode. With the cunning fox’s guidance, they retrieved the key to the cage and released Mithra.
Grateful for Priya’s unwavering friendship and bravery, Mithra bestowed upon her a final wish. Priya selflessly wished for Mithra’s freedom to roam the skies and share its gift with others.
Moved by Priya’s pure heart and selflessness, Mithra granted her wish and flew off into the forest.
Priya, now revered as the Guardian of the Forest, continued to protect and nurture the woods, fostering an environment where creatures coexisted in peace and harmony. Her bond with the natural world grew stronger, and the forest flourished under her care.
Years passed, and the legend of Priya and the magical myna, Mithra, echoed through generations, inspiring kindness and reverence for nature.
