Once upon a time, there was a beautiful wheat field on the outskirts of a small village. The field was home to a group of chirpy sparrows who lived in a cozy little nest at the edge of the field. They spent their days chirping, playing, and collecting grains of wheat to store in their nest.
One day, a kind-hearted farmer built a little house in the middle of the field to provide shelter to the sparrows during the rainy season. The sparrows were overjoyed at the sight of the new house and chirped with glee, thanking the farmer for his kindness.
As the days passed by, the sparrows grew accustomed to their new house and spent most of their time there. They would play inside the house, peek out of the windows, and chirp to their hearts’ content.
One windy day, a strong gust of wind swept across the field, shaking the wheat stalks vigorously. The sparrows’ house, which was perched on a tall wheat stalk, swayed dangerously, and the sparrows inside grew scared.
As the wind grew stronger, the sparrows feared that their house would topple over, and they would be left homeless. They fluttered around frantically, looking for a way out of their perilous situation.
Just then, the wind grew stronger, and a big gust swept the sparrows’ house off the wheat stalk. The house tumbled to the ground, and the sparrows were left stranded in the middle of the field.
The sparrows looked around, wondering what to do next. They had lost their home and had nowhere to go. As they were pondering their next move, they noticed something remarkable happening in the field.
The wind that had toppled their house had also blown away the chaff from the wheat grains, leaving only the finest grains of wheat behind. The sparrows realized that they were standing amidst a vast field of ripe wheat, and they could feast on the grains to their heart’s content.
The sparrows chirped with glee and started pecking at the wheat grains. They realized that the wind had blown away the chaff to reveal the true treasure of the wheat field – the finest grains of wheat that they could enjoy.
The sparrows learned an important lesson that day. They understood that the wind, which they had feared so much, had also brought them a bountiful harvest. They realized that every situation, no matter how challenging, had a silver lining, and that they needed to look beyond their fears to find the hidden blessings. The ultimate teaching of dharma and karma.
From that day on, the sparrows continued to live in the field, feasting on the finest grains of wheat and chirping with joy. They learned to appreciate the power of the wind, which had brought them both danger and fortune, and they lived happily ever after.
