1.
The two breeding sparrows lived under the bush on the
seashore. Having built a nest and being pregnant, the female
asked the male sparrow where it could lay the eggs.
2. The male sparrow: Where to lay eggs! Here in this nest.
Where else could you go?
3. The female sparrow: Laying eggs on the seashore is
dangerous. The sea waves could sweep the eggs into the sea.
4.
Listen, you dumb girl! Not knowing who we are, if the sea
sweeps away our eggs, it will suffer pain, not even a dog
experienced.
5.
The female: Are you out of your mind? Don't you know the story
of the garrulous turtle and that of the three fish? If you knew,
you would not talk like this. She explained the stories at
length.
6. The male: Leave the stories aside. You must lay the eggs
here. The male was assertive.
7.
The King of the sea was listening to the conversation between
the sparrows and thought in its mind, 'Oh, let me see how clever
they are.'
8. The sea wave swept the laid eggs into the sea.
10. The male sparrow addressed the sea, "Hey Sea! I will you
alone if you bring back my egg. If not, I will cause you great
hurt.
11. The sea did not reply to the sparrow.
12. The sparrow gathered all the sparrows and later other
birds, and they all flew to the King of the birds. The male
sparrow went to Garuda the King and said, 'A great danger is
upon the bird kingdom. The sea King swept away all our eggs. If
he does not return the eggs, no one will respect the avian
family."
13.
Garuda immediately went to Tirumal and submitted the
complaint. Tirumal called the sea King and asked him, "Why did
you sweep away the eggs to the sparrows. You must return the
eggs immediately; if not, you will be subject to my anger."
14.
Hearing the order of Tirumal, the Sea King was shaking in fear
and immediately returned the eggs to the sparrows.
15. There is nothing unaccomplished by a group effort.
