That day, the sky in the evening was lightly cloudy. By the side of the village's narrow path, you suddenly noticed a small artistic nest made of dry grass and vines hidden behind an old thicket—a bird's nest. Peeking in curiosity, you saw three tiny chicks that had just hatched a few days ago. They still had no feathers, and their eyes were half-closed. The chicks stretched their long necks and opened their mouths as if saying, "We are very hungry!"
Hiding behind the tree, you watched as, after a short while, the mother bird returned with a small grasshopper in her beak. As soon as the mother bird arrived, a flurry of chirping and excitement began among the chicks. The mother bird was feeding each one of them, and the chicks flapped their wings in delight.
A few days later, you visited again. You saw that the chicks now had soft gray feathers sprouting on their bodies. They had come to the edge of the nest and were practicing flapping their wings. The mother bird was chirping from a nearby branch, encouraging them—as if saying, "Try a little more; the sky is yours!"
One day, you went in the morning and found the nest empty. There was no commotion, only a strange silence. You looked up and saw three young birds soaring with their wings spread in the blue sky. They were now free, independent. You realized that nature teaches us about life and growth in this way. That small nest may have become empty, but it left you with a peculiar joy of witnessing the start of a new life.
