The Arrival of the Clever Parrot
It was a bright sunny morning when the birds chirped happily and filled the air with song. Tenali Raman was sitting under the shade of a big, ancient banyan tree in the palace garden. Suddenly, a parrot with feathers shining in green, blue, and a hint of golden yellow landed on a nearby branch.
The parrot tilted its head, looked at Tenali, and said, “Hello, clever man! I bring wisdom that everyone should have.”
Tenali smiled and replied, “Welcome, wise parrot! Please share your wisdom with me.”

The Clever Parrot’s First Wisdom: The Value of Listening
The parrot puffed up its chest and began to tell a tale:
“In a faraway forest, many animals lived happily together. One day, they heard a loud roar from deep inside the woods. The animals started to panic and run in all directions. But the wise old owl told them, ‘Stop! Listen carefully before you run away. Sometimes, what we hear is not what it seems.’”
Tenali nodded thoughtfully. “So, you mean it’s important to listen before we act?”
The parrot chirped excitedly, “Yes! Listening with care helps us understand the truth and make better choices. When we do not listen, we may run away from something that is not dangerous at all!”

The Clever Parrot’s Second Wisdom: Be Kind to Everyone
Tenali threw a handful of seeds on the ground, and the clever parrot fluttered down eagerly. It then shared another story:
“Long ago, a tiny ant and a big elephant lived near a river. One day, the elephant got stuck in the mud. The little ant saw this and called all its friends. Together, they bit the ropes that held the elephant, freeing it from the mud.
The elephant was very thankful and promised to help the ants whenever they needed.
Kindness, even from the smallest heart, can bring great happiness and new friends.”

How Tenali Raman Used the Clever Parrot’s Wisdom
Tenali Raman loved the stories because they taught simple truths everyone should remember. One afternoon, the king’s son lost his favorite kite high in the banyan tree. The prince was sad and worried.
Tenali said, “Let’s call the clever parrot to help.”
When the parrot arrived, it said, “First, let us listen. Can we hear if the kite is caught in the branches?”
All gathered quietly and heard the kite softly flapping in a nearby branch. Then the parrot flew up carefully and nudged the kite with its beak, making it fall gently to the prince’s waiting hands.
“The power of listening and careful action saved the day!” said Tenali with a smile.

Before flying away, the parrot looked at Tenali and all the children gathered around and said, “Wisdom is most special when shared. Like the seeds that grow into big trees, sharing wisdom helps everyone grow strong and kind.”
Tenali nodded and told the children, “When we learn something good, we should always help others learn it too.”

Imagine, dear child, the wonderful colors of the parrot–its wings glistening like emeralds in sunlight, the soft melodies it chirped filled the air like music. The garden where Tenali sat was blooming with flowers in every color – reds, pinks, yellows, and purples dancing on the gentle breeze.
Birds sang sweet songs, the sun painted golden rays through the leaves, and laughter bubbled from Tenali and the children as they listened to the clever parrot’s stories. The world felt magical, full of kindness, listening, and sharing.
