If I Would Be Nightingale

If I Would Be Nightingale

If I had to be transformed into another animal I would be a bird because birds can fly everywhere free. I think I would be nightingale because nightingales have amazing voice. Most of people like to listen to nightingale's songs.     While being nightingale I would fly with my nightingale friends in the sky. I would dance happily and with joy. I think all bird are skilled patient. They pick a lot of sticks to make a nest for themselves patiently. I also would make a nice, sweet nest in high, healthy tree. I would perch from one tree to another tree singing beautiful songs. I would like to live in hot country because while seeing flowers blossom I would be the happiest. Nightingale's are very elegant, sensitive birds for me.

My Struggle Against Injustice

I was a girl a few years ago. I live in the city. I had a family, relative, and work. I was happy, but some injustice troubled me. I couldn't live in such an unjust world that is why one day I implored to God. Oh my God I was tired to live in such world. To live with some unjust people in the same world. Please turn me into a bird. I want to be free to fly over all the world. I want to be on the forest, the mountains. Because to be a bird - it is a freedom. That freedom which is not at the people. From that day I am a bird and I am pleased with my life. To live as a bird it is better than to live as a man.

Once upon a time there lived a cruel king. He was so cruel he wanted all beautiful things to be in his palace. So one day when he was in the forest he heard a beautiful song. It was a nightingale singing. The king decided to take this bird to his palace. When the bird caged it stopped it's singing. It stopped eating and drinking. The king ordered his people to take the bird to the golden cage. But the bird never sang. They grew beautiful flowers near the cage. But it made no change. The king said that if someone can make the bird sing he will give him a lot of gold. Then one old man came to the palace and asked the king to free the bird. When the king did the same the bird flew and perched on the thistle. And it sang so beautiful that it admired everybody. The king asked it's reason. The old man explained that the only thing the bird needed was freedom.

Three apples came from the sky
One for me, one for who retold the tale

The Beauty and Sorrow of Birdsongs

by

Gulnar Gurbanova

Once upon a time there was a hunter. He lived alone in the village. The view of village was very beautiful. In one side of the village was a forest and other side was a river. He used to go hunting everyday. It was his favorite work. One day he went to forest for hunting as usual. He saw a nice bird on a branch of a tree. It was colorful and little bird. She was singing. The hunter sat on the grass and listened to her for a long time. The song of the bird was the best music that sounded in his ears. He decided to catch and keep this bird. He made a cage for that bird and decorated it with leaves. Day by day the hunters love was becoming more and more. But there was   a great sorrow in it's songs. She sang the song bitterly. The hunter didn't understand her. He saw that perhaps the cage was not comfortable for her. And he built a golden cage. But there was no difference. The bird was becoming worse. One day the hunter broke his leg while crossing the river. It was a terrible pain in his leg. The doctor advised him not to get out of bed. He spent two weeks in the bed. It was like a prison for him. He couldn't see his favorite forest and river. In this position he understood the bird's sorrow. After recovering he released the bird from his cage. She was very happy because now she was free. She can fly where she wants. And her songs were beautiful as before.
