Once a white pigeon had made a nest in a big tree in a small jungle near a village. The pigeon had two chicks as well.

In the nearby village, there were two naughty boys, Farid and Sulaiman. They were always bothering birds. One-day Farid and Suliman climbed to the tree and dropped the chicks of White Pigeon down. After a while, their mother came and took them back to the nest.

The chicks were crying(squeaking) because they were hurt very badly. The leg of one of the chicks and wing of another were broken. their mother was very sad and she was crying too. A colorful pigeon came and introduced herself as the queen of magic pigeons. The Queen said that she knows what is going on and promised to help her chicks and would punish the naughty boys.

She cut a feather from her wing and rubbed on chicks injured organs. The chicks said that they got their health back.

On the other hand, Farid and Suliman came again to bother some other birds. When the chicks of White Pigeon saw them, they afraid.

Farid saw a dove’s nest in another tree. He climbed to the tree and Suliman went to drink some water. While Farid wanted to catch the chicks, the Queen bit him and he converted to a dove’s chick. He was crying but no one was hearing. Sulaiman came and called Farid. Farid shouted that he is transferred to dove chick but Sulaiman was not able to recognize him. Sulaiman climbed to the tree too and there were three chicks in the nest. Once the chicks were squeaking too much. Sulaiman dropped it down. The chick(Farid) was squeaking loudly and was regretful for what he and Sulaiman had done. He knew that birds also feel pain. The Queen rescued him and told him to teach Sulaiman not to bother birds anymore.
