Chapter 31 Yellow Bird
Once upon a time there was a fairy who got into trouble for some reason, and the highest court in the fairy world decided to punish her by turning her into an animal in the next few years, and when she regained her original shape, she must bring good to both of them. transport.The court decided to let the fairy choose what animal to become.The fairy liked yellow, so she turned herself into a cute little bird that no one had ever seen before, with glittering golden feathers all over her body.Years later, when the fairy world's punishment was coming to an end, she flew to Baghdad and was caught by a fowler.At this moment, Buddy al-Zaman had just stepped down from his magnificent summer palace and was walking outside the city - Buddy?Al?The name Zaman means "miracle of the world".He is considered the luckiest man under the sun because he is the richest man in Baghdad and owns countless properties.But because of this, he had grown impatient with his wealth, and gradually he lost interest in anything, not even a moment when he was really happy.So he always wants to get something that is not in his treasure house.His palace was magnificent enough for fifty kings to live in it to their satisfaction, and now he came out listlessly, for there was nothing in it to interest him.

The bird-catcher felt his chance to make a fortune, because if he dedicated this rare yellow bird to Badi al-Zaman, he would surely buy it immediately.The Fowler was right.Buddy?Al?Zaman held the cute bird in his hand and observed it carefully, and suddenly saw a line of small characters written under its right wing: "The one who eats my head will become the king." Under the left wing is written: " Whoever eats my heart finds a hundred gold pieces under his pillow every morning." Despite all that wealth, Buddy?Al?Zaman immediately decided to take possession of the gold coins.The deal was quickly closed.Buddy?Al?Zaman had a problem: how to cook the bird?Of all his servants, he couldn't trust any of them.Finally he asked the fowler if he was married, and he ordered the fowler to take the bird home, and let the fowler's wife cook it.

He said, "I have had no appetite for food for many days, and this bird may whet my appetite, and if that is the case, I will give your wife a hundred silver pieces."

The bird-catcher ran home overjoyed, and told his wife what had happened, and in a short while the wife had stewed the yellow bird into a delicious broth.But when Buddy?Al?When Zaman came to his house, he turned the soup bowl upside down, but did not find the head and heart of the yellow bird.He was furious with the fowler's wife.The fowler's wife was so frightened that she knelt on Buddy?Al?In front of Zaman, she said with trepidation that just before he arrived, her two sons ran into the kitchen, arguing to eat the dishes she was cooking.So she gave one of the children the head of the yellow bird, and the heart to the other, because most people do not like to eat either part.Buddy?Al?Zaman stormed off in a huff, vowing to take revenge on the bird catcher's family.

The rich man's anger is so frightening that Fowler and his wife decide to let the two kids out and hide from Buddy?Al?Zaman's murderous hand.The wife quietly comforted the bird catcher and said: She deliberately gave the yellow bird's head and heart to their children to eat, because she saw the two lines written under the yellow bird's wings.So, they believed that their children had had good luck.They hugged the two children, sent them out of the house, let them go as far as possible in different directions, and told them to remember to always report home safe.As for themselves, they are still hiding in the town incognito.

The fowler made a wise choice.It didn't take long for Budi al-Zaman to die of illness because of the loss of the wealth he had acquired.The Fowler and his wife returned to their home, where they waited for news of their children.

Their youngest son, the one who ate the heart of the yellow bird, soon discovered its benefits.Every morning when he got up, he would find a money bag under his pillow, which contained a hundred gold coins.All poor people in the world will be very careful and careful about how to keep a large sum of money, and the youngest son of the fowler is no exception.Once he was robbed by robbers. In order to keep the large pile of gold, he fought bravely with the robbers. Not only did he lose the gold, but he was also seriously injured and died soon after.

The oldest son of the fowler, the one who ate the head of the yellow bird, traveled a long way without any trouble, until he came to a city in Asia.The city is in turmoil, and people are fighting to elect a new chief.The citizens were divided into two factions, and they quarreled for a long time without any result.Then they agreed that whoever the strangest thing happened to him should be the Chief.At this moment, the eldest son of the bird catcher walked into the city with a happy face, and suddenly something fell on his head—it turned out to be a snow-white dove.People stared at him dumbfounded, and then all ran towards him.So, with a dove on his head, he was surrounded by people to the palace, and everyone surrendered at his feet.This astonished him, for before he knew what had happened, he had become the Chief in a daze.

He soon discovered that there was nothing more joyful than sitting on a throne and giving orders.The young chief quickly adapted to the new environment.But this did not prevent him from always making all kinds of mistakes, and because he governed the country so badly, there was finally a riot, and the whole city rebelled.They stripped him of his powers and put him to death.This is what he deserved - after he became chief, he did not recognize himself as the son of the fowler couple, so that they finally died in poverty.
