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.

During the penitential prayers, the Rabbi, a religious mentor, disappears from the public sight. All the Jews guess that he might have gone up in the heaven. When he is noticed with the other gurus during the holy prayers, he seems very busy with the arrangements for good care and food for all those attending prayers.

Once, during the holy prayers, one of the Litvaks laughs away the existing opinions on the cause of the Rabbi missing away in public and declares that the Rabbi is not be able to ascend the heaven before his death. One day, as being very curious about the Rabbi's whereabouts, the Litvak tries to track down the places where Rabbi stays on the Friday morning. The Litvak walk quietly into the Rabbi's room and hides himself under the bed. The Litvak passes the night sleepless and keeps awake till the next morning. As soon as it is morning, he hears the Rabbi complaining for an hour about the Israelite's sorrows and miseries. Kept unseen from the notice of the Rabbi, the Litvak sees the latter leaving the house with an axe held in hand and leading to jungle. There, the Rabbi is seen cutting down a tree and making a bundle of the logs. With the bundle of wood, the Rabbi moves into the house of a sick old woman of the Jewish race and tries to persuade her to buy logs. As the poor lady denies to buy the logs for having no money with her, the Rabbi assures her of God's help and urges her to buy the wood on credit. When the woman agrees to follow his words, the Rabbi senses out her actual situation and does the job himself in the shabby and ill-furnished room of the woman. The Litvak is deeply impressed by the Rabbi's commitment to help out the poor woman and decide to be his true follower. After all the Litvak declares that it is not other but the Rabbi, himself, who deserves to attain a secure place if not higher than the heaven.
