According to an old legend, a king went to visit his neighboring kingdom here. The neighboring king hosted the guest king very well. After staying there for a few days when the king returned to his kingdom, the neighboring king gifted him two beautiful pigeons.

The king took the two pigeons to his palace. There a servant was appointed to look after the pigeons. The servant would arrange food and water for the pigeons in the morning. A few days later, when the king arrived to know the condition of those pigeons.

The servant said that one pigeon flies to a very high height, but the other one is sitting on a branch of the tree. The king was very sad to know why the other pigeon is not flying.

The king immediately summoned his ministers, but no one could understand what had happened to the other pigeon. Then someone advised the king that the birds should be called. The ministers immediately called a poor farmer.

The farmer was familiar with birds, saw the area around the pigeon and cut the branch of the tree on which he sat.

After this, the second pigeon also started flying high in the sky. The farmer told the king that this pigeon was trapped in the fascination of this branch, afraid of taking the risk of flying, when this branch was cut, it had no other option but to fly.

Due to this, he has started flying to high altitude. The king was pleased to see this and honored the farmer with gold coins.

Lesson from story:-

Those who are afraid to take risks, do not want to give up their comfort zone, they cannot fly to the height i.e. do not achieve their Dreams or Targets.
If you also want to do something big, then you have to take risk. ओपन / कमेंट
