The fairy tale of a bird that has no real sound
Why can parrots talk? This is the story?
Once upon a time, the animals in the forest could talk like humans. They talk, work while talking, and live in harmony and peace. One day, the Forest Guardian Fairy Mother gathered the inhabitants of the jungle and said, "My children, the Creator has created a new creature. His name is human. The Creator decided that humans would be the ones who would speak our language and ordered us to look for new languages and sounds to we'll use it from now on."
At first the jungle dwellers were shocked. However, they realized that it was impossible to resist the will of the Creator. "Fairy Mother Guardian of the Forest, we submit to the will of the Creator. But right now, we can't find a new language to use. Give us time," said the Lion on behalf of his friends. "I understand. You are given one week. You will gather here again and tell me what language you chose. After that, use that language and voice, and forget about human language."
So, the forest residents returned to their respective places. They began to think hard to find a voice that was dashing and suitable for each of them. Day after day the inhabitants of the forest are busy looking for the sound they will use next. The lion, who had been crowned king of the jungle because of his bravery, chose to roar first. "Aouuuuum," he said, proudly showing off his voice. The other forest residents were happy to hear that. They felt that the sound suited the lion's dashing body. But not all animals like to hear that. The nosy Parrot even laughed at the sound. "Hahaha, looks like someone with a toothache," said Beo, laughing out loud. The lion was very embarrassed to hear that.
Day after day, everyone tried different sounds except Beo. He was busy mocking the voices he managed to find. "Hahaha, like the sound of a door not being oiled," Beo taunted Jangkrik who found the creaking sound. "Hahaha, I heard the grandmothers laughing," he taunted Kuda. "Whose tire is punctured? Hahaha," he laughed at Snake's hissing voice. That's Beo's job every day. He was busy peeking at and laughing at the other forest dwellers who were trying out new sounds. His friends couldn't do anything. They are shy and shy away from Beo. However, Beo always managed to find and imitate their voices.
"Mbeeeek," he imitated when he saw Goat. "Nggooook," he imitated when he saw Babi. Can't believe it's been a week. The forest residents must regroup to announce their vote. The Forest Guardian Fairy Mother called them one by one, only Beo was still laughing. He thinks his friends are stupid because the sounds they find funny. It was Beo's turn to announce his new voice. He stepped forward. "Mbeeeek," he screamed. "Hey that's my voice," said the Goat. The others laughed.
Beo was stunned. He just realized that all this time he had been too busy mocking his friends that he had forgotten to find his own voice. "Muuu,…woof-woof,…meow," Beo panicked. He just imitated the sounds he had heard. Of course the Cow, Dog and Cat laughed out loud. Beo was very embarrassed. Finally he burst into tears and apologized to his friends. With a smile, the Forest Guardian Fairy Mother said, "Never mind, I will still give you a voice. But as a lesson, you will continue to imitate other people's voices so that you will be laughed at forever." That's the history, why parrots always imitate sounds. that's all.
moral message:
Our teasing of other people doesn't mean they're bad, on the contrary, stay away from that trait, hopefully it will be preserved.
