The Bird's Fairytale

Once upon a time, on a tree named Jacaranda lived a flock of birds. But amongst of all the birds, they are three most senior birds. Isle, the magpie, Elm, the nightingale and Thames, the canary lived together with other birds in a big tree. They have 160 children and their children had grown up. They themselves were too old to fly but amongst three of them, Isle the magpie is the eldest and he is the leader of all. They are living happily together with other birds on the tree. Every year without fail they will celebrate the “tree ritual ceremony “. It is a ceremony to appreciate their tree, their shelter. They are working together with the children. As usual the children will look for foods for them. Usually Isle will get more than others. There are sometimes they have to fight with the enemy that attacks the tree they lived. Once there were tornado named Fawd who came and blow the tree like a thunder. They knew that they cannot fight with the Fawd tornado so that they try to hide at the branch. They were safe until the Fawd just gone blown with the wind.

There are times they have to fight with other bigger bird. Nouri, the peacock always attack and chase their food. Nouri always talk big and no ones will beat her as she thinks she is the best birds of all. Isle, the magpie and as a leader he always thinks how to make their shelter safe. He realizes that their tree always being attack by the enemies. Knowing that he is too old too handle he always ask opinion from the other birds Elm, the nightingale and Thames, the crow. Amongst his two assistance's, Elm is considered reliable but Thames a bit slow. Elm always gives good idea to safe the tree as their shelter but Thames always thinks that he is the most beautiful birds.

One day, they were sunning themselves on a branch. Isle said “I am too old to be a leader in this tree. Let me stay in other place and I wish someone will replace me”. Elm said “I don’t want to be a leader, because I think Thames deserve more. He is stronger than me and he still can fly”. Isle ask” why? Do you think you cannot fly? Elm said that he has a deceased on his wings”. Thames remains silent as he thinks he deserves more.

On one cloudy day, Isle just left the tree as he feel he wants to be isolated .The tree became chaos and all the birds are talking about their leader. Suddenly, the tornado came and attack the tree and most birds flew disappeared. The only survive in the tree are Elm and Thames. After quite sometimes, the tree became creepy and silent and most birds were frightened to stay at the tree. Elm takes a step to call the birds again to stay at the tree as their shelter. He tried to convince all the birds that the tree is the safest place for birds. As a result, all the bird agreed to stay at the tree and they appoint Elm as their new leader.

While Elm being appointed as a leader, Thames just do his works. He is also being appointed as the assistant to Elm. Elm is new leader and he needs advises from other birds as well. He realizes being a leader in the tree, is the responsibility for him to make sure that every birds are safe and living happily in the tree. One sunny day while they were chattering, comes a crow named Jackbird who wants to rule the tree. He starts to point finger the other birds fault and he claimed he is the best birds of all. Every bird seem hated the Jackbird and they starts to complain at Elm, their leader. Elm just said “frankly speaking, I don’t know who sent the Jackbird here, and they are times I do agree with the jack bird” Flying with unsatisfied, all the birds leaves the tree with cry. They think they can put on hope of their leader, but they can't. Now the tree becomes creepy and rotten. No ones wants to stay at the Jacaranda big tree, because they feel Elm is not on their side.
