The Consequences of Indifference: A Hornbill's Tale
Written on
Chapter 1: The Cautionary Tale of the Hornbill
In our childhood, we encountered a story about a persistent bird known as the Noisy Hornbill. This tale depicted the Hornbill's incessant calls echoing throughout the forest, met with apathy from its inhabitants.
"Animals of the Forest! The Noisy Hornbill's clamor could spell trouble for us all. We should investigate the source of the Hornbill's outcry," the cautious Ladybird warned.
Yet, the forest dwellers dismissed her concerns.
"You’re too insignificant, Ladybird, to fret over the Hornbill’s troubles. Besides, we prefer to keep to our own affairs," retorted one of the animals. “What concern is it of yours?”
They collectively laughed at the Ladybird, echoing the sentiment that "Hornbill’s issues are solely Hornbill’s."
"If Hornbill wishes to croak, let it croak! If it wants to shriek and sing, so be it! It’s not our affair, and we suggest you keep out of it too."
Section 1.1: The Turning Point
As fate would have it, a hunter, having gone days without a catch, heard the Hornbill's raucous cries and was drawn to them. It was an effortless target. Upon finding the bird, he shot it down, and it landed near an ant hill where a mushroom grew.
The hunter, noticing the mushroom, decided to take it along with the Hornbill. As he gathered his spoils, he stumbled upon a snail nearby and added that to his collection for a hearty broth. Lacking a proper bag to carry his newfound bounty, he cut down a nearby banana plant to bundle his catch and used a vine to secure it.
In his quest for resources, he cleared everything of value, leaving behind the solitary Ladybird, who was deemed useless.
Thus, the Hornbill's plight transformed into a dilemma for all...
