The free bird.



The free bird.

The boy wanted to snach the purse.
but couldn't
because he couldn't control his balance.

He fell down.
Then piked up by the lady,
who was still steady.

Then she dragged the boy with collar,
at her home,
where she lived lonesome.

There the lady asked him,
the cause of it.
but the boy remained silent.

The lady came to know,
the boy was an orphan,
has nobody to protect from the rigid sun.

The lady loosed his collor,
and made him free.
But the boy didn't flee.

The boy didn't want to lose
the faith of the lady,
because she paid him sympathy.

 The lady provided him,
some food and little milk.
Hungry boy took it with in a blink.

Then the lady advised him,
not to steal anybody,
rather try to earn honestly.

At last she led him to her door.
Bade him good by.
and let the bird to get free fly.
