The following two tales were derived from Masnavi, which was written by a 13th century Persian poet and theologian. The first story is about a tiny but wise bird that finds a way and escape from its predicament. The second story is about a merchant who loves his parrot, but his parrot loves freedom more than anything and finds a way to be free from his captivity.
These moralistic tales teach children:
- The value of freedom
- Learn that no matter how weak we seem; we can find a way to win.
- Not to be regretful for things we have lost.
- To think before we speak.
These are unique stories, they were written hundreds of years ago: but are so relevant to parents and children today. The Advisor Bird and the Talkative Parrot stories, both teach valuable lessons. Every parent wishes the same for their children; to learn what is right from wrong.
Nothing has changed over the span of time; we still want the same thing, as parents hundreds of years ago wanted also.
