The Birds and The Hunter

Once upon a time, there lived a flock of birds in Aceh forests. The leader of the flock was a wise
parakeet named King Parakeet.
One day, while the flock was perching on the trees, a hunter came and caught them using a net. The
net trapped many birds. The birds were so afraid. They panicked. The king had an idea. He ordered
the birds to lay still. The birds did what the king said. When the hunter saw that all the birds lay still,
he thought the birds were dead. He was so disappointed. “I cannot sell dead birds,” he said. So he
lifted the net. Immediately, the birds flew away. The hunter was so surprised.
Then, the hunter saw the King Parakeet. He immediately caught the King Parakeet. He took it home.
The hunter put the king parakeet in a cage. The hunter hung the cage in front of his house.
