One breezy Sunday Morning,
A Falcon caught a fresh fish
It flew back to its favorite Rock
Thanking its luck,
The white-skinned Bird Prayed to God,
“Repeat thy blessings every day”
All of a sudden, a Giant Eagle appeared from nowhere, and
Staring at the fish, spoke “Am too lazy to have a cock-fight with you, why not we both share the prize?”
Falcon replied, “My Mom always advised, never share one’s hard earned money”
“If I begin the battle, I will win” warned the brown-skinned Bird
“Life is a waste, without a fight” reprimanded the Falcon
And they both flew to Stratosphere, leaving the prey behind
Feathers flew apart, blood spilled all over,
It went like a duel between Hector and Achilles,
Even for Gods in heavens, It was hard to take sides.
Down below,
The struggling fish saw a little pond next to the Rock,
It slowly pushed hard, to reach for the waters.
Just when it was about to reach its destination,
A Cat caught it with its paw, and the fish cried back saying,
“I have kids awaiting me back home,
God gave me one more chance to live,
I beg you to leave me, else Almighty will curse you”
Cat giggled and whispered back “In Life, there are no ethics, only selfish deeds”
So saying, it gulped the fish in one shot.
Fish knows a trick, that it learnt in childhood
“Waggle your tail fast and you can block the food pipe of the predator”
Cat went horrid due to the throat choke and it coughed the fish out.
In the skies above,
Giant Eagle won the battle and it went straight to the pond,
Plucked the crawling fish under its beak, and flew back Home.
Black-skinned Rock observing the entire Plot of fate, said to itself
“Ah ! Just an another tale at my office, unfolds for the day”
