Bedtime Story
Once upon a time, in a faraway land, there lived a man who owned a magnificent falcon. The falcon was not only expensive, but also dear to the man, as it was his only means of livelihood. With his falcon, he would hunt bustards, which he and his family would sell or use for food.
One cloudy day, when hunting was not possible, the man released his falcon, hoping it would return with a successful catch. However, as the hours passed, the falcon did not come back. The man grew increasingly worried and began searching for his beloved bird. He looked everywhere, but there was no sign of the falcon.
While wandering in his search, the man stumbled upon a shepherd with his camels. Desperate for any information, the man asked the shepherd if he had seen his falcon. The shepherd had witnessed a fight between two birds under a tree and ended up striking them with his stick. To the man's astonishment, the shepherd admitted that he had roasted the birds over a fire.
Devastated by the news, the man exploded with anger and sadness, blaming the shepherd for his actions. He lamented the loss of his falcon and its worth. However, the shepherd, feeling remorseful, tried to justify his actions by saying that a falcon is just like any other bird.
But the man, in his wisdom, responded with a proverb, 'He who does not know, the falcon roasts him.' He explained that those who fail to appreciate the value and importance of something precious, like the falcon, are bound to misuse and waste it. This holds true for all the valuable things we possess. It is only through knowing their true worth that we can cherish and preserve them.
