The hen and the falcon
A falcon and a hen were talking to each other. The falcon said to the
hen, you are the most
ungrateful bird.
Why do you say that? The hen asked angrily
The falcon replied, your masters feed you but you fly from one corner
to another, if they come
to catch you. You are ungrateful. I am a wild bird yet, I always please
those who are kind to me.
The hen asked quietly, how would you feel if you saw a falcon roasted
over a fire? I have
seen hundreds of hens being cooked on fire. If you were in my place,
you would never
come near your masters again and while I only fly from one corner to corner,
you would
fly from hill to hill.
