Photo credit: mnp from morguefile.com
Celina was a cute little bird living in the Velachery forest. She was recently born and was one month old. She looked beautiful; her eyes were blue in color and she used to see the birds, plants, creatures, animals, mountains, flowers, rivers and the people with her cute eyes. She wanted to learn about various things around her. She used to fly happily from one branch of the tree and to another branch of the tree singing in her sweet voice. Her mother loved her and she used to fly to distant places to bring food for her little daughter and as Celina was becoming bigger and bigger, her mother felt very happy.
One day, Peter Fox, came by the tree where Celina and her mother were living in the nest built by her mother on one of the tree branches. Peter Fox was a bad boy and he used to catch the birds and eat them. Many birds in the area knew Peter Fox very well and once Peter Fox entered the forest all birds would start screaming loud and would fly to any branch of a tree nearby to escape from the villain.
Celina, the little bird was not knowing Peter Fox and nobody had told her about Peter Fox also. When Celina was flying from one branch to another, Peter suddenly looked above and saw her. He wanted to eat her deliberately because she was very beautiful. He started making various plans. Suddenly he saw, Robin Rat coming by the way. Peter called him and told him about his desire to eat Celina – the beautiful young bird. He convinced Robin Rat that he would permit him to eat the bird along with him.

Robin Rat was happy. He could climb the tree but Peter Fox could not climb any tree. Robin Rat slowly went to the tree where Celina was sitting there looking at him. Robin Rat started making friendship with Celina. He told her that Peter Fox was the king of the forest and everybody living in the forest should obey the king, otherwise, the king would punish them. Celina believed him and started flying towards Peter Fox.
Celina was very beautiful and by the time she started flying to Peter Fox, a hunter came by that side and he wanted to hunt her because she was very beautiful. He took his gun and aimed at Celina. Celina landed almost near Peter Fox and Peter Fox was about to catch her with his front leg and by that time the hunter started firing a shot at the bird.
Alas, the shot missed hitting Celina; however, it wounded Peter Fox on his right eye and Peter Fox could not imagine what caused his right eye burning with fire and he immediately forgot Celina and started running out of the forest as far as he could.
Celina immediately went to her nest and stayed there silently without knowing what had happened there.
Good people are always safe under the hands of God.
