The hen that adopts ostrich's nestling
Written by
Mohammad Mahmud Ahmad
The rooster sees a large egg one day
It has two colours white and gray.
He steals it from a poor bird's nest.
When he comes back from another way
* * * *
The rooster asks the sparrow, is it yours?
The sparrow astonishes and flees away.
Staggering, cursing the occasion of that day
Feels his tongue is incapable to reply
* * * *
The rooster asks the pigeon; is it yours?
The pigeon runs away as if startling horse
Bewildering, what can he say?
And never has been seen from that day.
* * * *
The rooster asks the stork is it yours?
The stork appears calm and wise.
Closing his peak and sending sever voice
Carelessly says I think it is for tortoise.
* * * *
The rooster intends toward the lake to ask.
He meets one duck wearing its mask.
Where is the Mrs. Tortoise pleased dear?
The duck shakes his head feeling it is difficult task
* * * *
The rooster finds himself in a terrible doom
Missing his way and cannot return home.
The duck leads him to the wrong way.
Leaving the poor rooster alone and entering his room.
* * * *
The rooster was desirous to find the egg's owner.
But unfortunately he was dispersed moreover
While wandering he saw a large crowd of people.
Inside a large house, he met a small daughter
* * * *
Do you Miss. Are you the owner of this egg?
The girl rushing away shaking her neck
Thinking it belongs to an elephant or a rhinoceros
And she kicks him on its back by her small leg.
* * * *
The peacock comes there and blunders.
He claims that it belongs for a certain dog, called maxfoker
The rooster is afraid to ask the dog and hurries inside the jungles
The dog follows him howling and calls his friends sooner
* * * * *
The rooster runs away and unfortunately falls on a garden of bear.
Fortunately, the bear was sleeping in his lair
The rooster breaks the egg later.
He finds it contains small nestling of ostrich larger than pear.
* * * *
The rooster becomes the father of the small nestling.
And he makes for its sake a large wedding
But when the nestling grows up and becomes mature.
The rooster is astonishing from its large size and is frightening.
* * * *
Soon he calls the hens for an assembly.
Ordering them to be present there and riding on the ferry
One of them suggests leaving the bird in the public garden.
Others claim to sell him in the market immediately.
* * * *
But an old hen requests to extend the occasion.
Perhaps they can find the suitable solution.
Gathering her sons and asking them to be friends.
Lastly, she finds it is reliable decision
* * * *
The strange bird slept the night with the hen's sons.
He spends the time with them joyfully plays and runs
Until one day, his bereaved mother comes there.
Thanking the hen for her good deed and asking the departure at once.
* * * *
The mature ostrich's nestling is happy to see his mother
Kissing her from her head and asks her about his brother
Before he departs, he says farewell to the hen's chickens.
Still he deems that the rooster is his father.
