Don’t sing with the loudest!
Once upon a time, there was a wonderful meadow with many
beautiful flowers and colourful birds. But the most magnificent was the
singing of the birds. All the animals of the forest and of other forests came
to listen to the wonderful music of those birds. When they sang, everybody
remained silent, stopped to eat and even the youngest animals didn’t cry
after their mothers but listened to the wonderful songs.
Nevertheless, one day while the birds were singing and
many animals listening, suddenly loud roars could be heard in the distance.
As the tumult came nearer, it turned out that it was elephants. And as they
entered the meadow, they tramped down all the beautiful flowers while they
used their snout as a kind of trumpet and all the birds and other animals
fled and took refuge in the nearest trees.
The horde of elephants devastated the meadow and made a
terrible noise. The frightened birds and other animals sat in the trees and
wondered what would remain of their beautiful meadow.
But not all birds were so sad about it, there was one
which wanted to participate and be part of the strong. So, it flew out above
the elephants and began to sing.
Of course, no one could hear it, but it glided over the
heads of the elephants, sang with all the power of its lungs, and felt great
because it thought it belonged to them. It laughed about the other birds and
animals and called them all kind of ugly names, because it felt strong.
After some days of ravaging, the elephants disappeared as
suddenly as they had come. However, the little bird having shouted with them
sat in the middle of the meadow and still yelled trying to imitate the big
intruders.
The other birds and small animals stood around it, but
they couldn’t recognize its voice, it had changed.
Slowly, the flowers came out of the ground again and the
birds began to sing like before. Only the traitor could not regain its
original voice.
