The King and the Bird
A king lives in a beautiful palace. There is much gold in this palace. He is very rich. Many men and
women are busy working for him every day.
On a sunny day, the king will go fishing in the pool. On a rainy day, the king will stay at the palace
and have a party. Many people sing and dance for him. There is much food on the table.
The king has many beautiful clothes. He changes clothes every day. He has big gardens. He can see
colourful flowers.
The king's life is so easy, but he doesn't
feel happy at all. He thinks the life isn't
interesting. "Is there anything new in my
life?"
One morning, a bird comes to stop at the window and
sings a nice song. The king is so happy to see the bird.
The song is so wonderful. The king asks his people to
catch the bird and put it in a cage.
But the bird closes its mouth and doesn't sing any
more. The king asks his people to make a gold cage
for the bird. The cage looks very beautiful. But the
bird still doesn't sing.
The king gives the bird the best food.
He also asks his people to dance for
the bird. The bird still doesn't sing.
The king becomes angry. He opens
the cage and throws the bird out of
the window. The bird sings again! It
sings so beautifully!
The king thinks and thinks. He knows what
to do. The king gives the big palace and all
his gold to the people in his palace. Then he
puts some clothes in a bag and leaves the
golden palace.
The king feels so happy that he sings a song
happily.
