Don’t desire to walk when you have wings to fly

Once upon a time there lived a generous, kind-hearted king. He was fond of birds and animals had a huge bird sanctuary in his reign. He dislikes harming the animals and birds and even did not kill them for the sake of eating meat. Owing to his generosity and kindness towards, he was gifted two beautiful falcons by his fellow businessman. Those two falcons belong to different place and lived in a different climatic condition. The king thanked the businessman and ordered the head of the bird trainer to provide all the facilities to those beautiful falcons and make them feel comfortable in their country. The head trainer took the birds and provided all essentials to help the birds adapt to the atmosphere. Gradually, the birds adapted to the country’s atmosphere. One day the king wanted to see the falcons fly as he heard that one of those falcons fly to great heights in a very high speed. The king was quite surprised and rewarded the bird trainer with handful of gold coins. He enquired about the other falcon bird. The bird trainer head stated with regret that the other falcon did not move even a step from the day one and just sits in the branch. The trainer also added that he tried everything best he could do and still he failed to make this bird move. The king consoled him and told the trainer that he would bring someone who is more experienced than him or an old man who knew about falcons.   The king announced about his requirement to make falcon move and fly. Hearing this announcement, an old man reached King’s place and assured him that he would make the bird fly like the other one. The king asked the head trainer to take the old man to the sanctuary to train the falcon and he told that he would visit them tomorrow to see if there is any change. Next day, the king was very surprised to see the other falcon fly like the first one to great heights in rapid speed. The king was too happy and rewarded him handful. The king asked what he has done to make the bird fly in a day. The old man simply replied, ‘I just cut down the branch of the tree where this falcon bird sits.’ Many of us are like this. We have wings to fly, we know how to fly, and where to fly still we sit doing nothing or doing something that makes us inferior to others. Don’t try to walk when you have wings to fly!
