There lived a family of parrot birds on a tree. The mother bird laid many eggs and all of them hatched out into beautiful parrot chicks. One among them was a disabled chick. The mother bird was very affectionate with this chick. So was the father bird too. Both the parents took turns to feed the chick.
One day morning there was a big forest fire. It was spreading fast too. All birds and animals vacated the place in fear. The father said to his chicks, "Fly away children. Fly away to safety." The mother bird asked with sorrow, "how can we leave this poor chick that can't even walk? The parents decided to stay with the chick.
The disabled chick started praying earnestly, Oh lord! please quench the forest and save all the animals and birds with trees. Look at the affection and love of my parents have for me. You are the creator of the world. Don't you have affection like that of my parents?"
What a surprise! The forest was drenched by a sudden rain and the forest fire was quenched.
Moral : Earnest prayers are answered positively.
