Story Of Two Parrots ~ Jatak Tales In English.


Once someone caught two parrot brothers and presented them to a king. Pleased with the quality and character of the parrots, the king kept them in a golden cage, got them proper hospitality and kept feeding them honey and roasted corn everyday. Among those parrots, the name of the elder was Radha and the name of the younger was Potthapada.

One day a forest dweller presented a langur to the king with a black, terrifying large hand. That gibbon species was generally a rare animal. That's why people would have been shocked to see that strange creature. With the arrival of langur, people's attraction towards parrots decreased; And also of his government.

Upset with the changing attitude of the people, Potthapada felt humiliated and in the night he told his pain to Radha. Radha consoled her younger brother and explained, "Brother! Don't worry! The qualities are worshiped everywhere. Soon the qualities of this langur will be revealed to the people of the world and then people will turn away from him."

It happened after a few days that when the little prince wanted to play with that baboon, the baboon frightened him so loudly by opening his terrible mouth, gnashing his teeth that he started crying. When the information about the children's fear and crying came to the king's ears, he immediately got the langur released in the forest.

From that day onwards, the hospitality of Radha and Potthapada continued to be restored.
