                   THE WISE OWL
                 *******************
Once upon a time there existed a mighty larch in a certain woodland.A lot number of birds had carved their niches in its various boughs.Among them, the oldest and wisest was an Owl.
         One  day  the Owl noticed that the two boughs of the larch had come too close to each other and were abrading against each other, causing the eruption of sparks .He got alarmed , summoned all the birds and hooted to them ,
   "Friends, look at those two branches. They are constantly chafing agaist each other causing the production of sparks.In dry weather the sparks may set fire to the tree.So my sincere advice to you is to transfer your nests to a safer place."

  The birds giggled contemptuously at his saner advice. A woodpecker blurted out,"Sir,I presume the age has blunted your mind and made you a tad mousy.This tree is very mighty and as old as the Alps ana Alpines.We have been dwelling here for a considerably long time and are as comfortable as a pea in a pod.Why should we jettison this tree at your

Inutile speculation?"

   The other birds chorused in agreement.

   Only few birds followed the Owl to a safer place.

 Then,on a sweltering day,the sparks generated 

by abrading the branches together set the tree on a wild fire as predicted by the wise Owl.The fire incinerated all the living things !!
