Once upon a time the lord Buddha was born as a little parrot. Unfortunately, the forest , in which he used to live was caught by a horrifying fire, Creatures of that forest found their lives in danger. They were trapped in the burning fire. But the little Parrot escaped from the forest and went to the direction of a river. As the matter of fact he was very sympathetic with the fellow creatures that were unable to escape. All of a sudden he thought of going to river and bringing water to put out the blazing fire. After all he constantly kept on going to the river and bringing about some drops of water on his wings. In course of time, he himself got injured. However, his attempt was constant. At that time, some of the devas (gods) were floating overhead in their clouds place of ivory and gold. They happened to look down. And they saw the little Parrot flying among the flames. They started laughing at the meaningless efforts of the little Parrot. But one of those gods turned into a golden eagle and went to the little Parrot. He suggested him not to make such insignificant attempts because his own life could be lost. The Parrot grew angry and replied that he didn't need suggestion rather he wanted some sort of corporation. The golden eagle got ready to help him so he began to weep. Stream after stream of sparkling tears poured from his eyes. Wave upon wave, they washed down like cooling rain upon the fire, upon the forest, upon the animals and upon the little parrot himself. Finally the lives of those suffered animals and birds were restored and peace and happiness was established. All of them rejoiced and the Parrot got the colorful feathers.
