The Croca

On every morning Willy used to keep bowl full of water in the terrace of his house.Though he could not quench the needs of people in his life he felt happy and blessed by quenching the thirst of birds.One day he saw a crow struggling to fly.He found that the bird was injured heavily. Caring willy treated the bird until it was ready to fly with no boundaries or  gates. The constant care of Willy healed the crow within a week"s time. Then he decided to free the bird from the cage. Willy experienced the happy thrust of the bird and the flapping sound with happy tears which made his day.

The croca(crow) in return decided to help him. The very next day it came to see Willy on the same time he used to water the plants and birds. The croca extended its happiness by flying around him and crowing in different sounds, likely to be a singing bird. Clouds showered, Winds howled and the croca flew away after having the food given by Willy. Then he started to feed the croca by few pieces of fish carrion. The croca never failed to visit him which made Willy to have a regular habit of watering every morning. Croca had a family and used to save food given by Willy to feed his chicks, Croca narrated the daily time spend by him with Willy to his partner. Croca's nest was located in a tree which is greenish throughout the year. Days went but the habit of Willy and Croca remained the same.

The croca used to fly above Willy's head in a pattern and played joyfully. Willy was growing old but still, fed croca with what he had. Willy's terrace had become sanctuary for birds. He spent his life with birds and lived peacefully. One day Croca did not come to have the carrion , Willy was sad and depressed due to his absence. The next day he urged to the terrace earlier and was waiting for his arrival, he was again disappointed. Yes,croca did not come to visit him. Days passed on and his absence made him suffer a lot , he spent the day by thinking the happy time spent together. Suddenly, a thought struck his mind that croca used to fly in a particular pattern. He then decided to discover the places of that pattern. Winds brought a feather to his palms , he realized that it was croca's. Yes, you are right Croca is no more.........

At the corner of the terrace where he used to feed him,he saw that the carrion pieces are arranged in a pattern similar to the pattern croca used to fly.This puzzled Willy and he started discovering it.By following those pattern he saw a hidden place under the cage where he treated croca. He was shocked and stunned by what he had seen. Aw! it was a small heap that had shining objects like diamonds,glittering gems,gold particles and so on!!!!!.....Tears filled eyes, winds urged to wipe his sadness and he kissed the feather.
