Cuckoo of the human world, the influential class and the crow, the common man are fighting with each other for gaining the upper hand. But it is the common lot of the crow that he is doomed forever. Cuckoo has the knack to camouflage itself according to the need of the time.
ALL PRAISES FOR THE CUCKOO
Cuckoo is a bird that is the most acclaimed in the bird community as well human beings. almost all the poets of nature are “affected” and” afflicted” by it. Its voice lures them and they are lost in world of fantasy. Some call it dream bird others call it a mystery. It reminds them of their childhood as well as their love. They wish to sing and enjoy with the zeal and zest of the cuckoo. Some even want to become this very bird to get the same fame and liberty like that of cuckoo.
THE REAL CHARACTER OF THE CUCKOO
Unfortunately they are not aware of the rascal habits of the bird. They are unaware of the deceitful nature of the cuckoo. They are engrossed in the beautiful voice of the bird. They are lost in the songs of cuckoo and can not pay any attention to understand its true character. They are unable to comprehend the conspiracies hatched by the bird. Cuckoo is always hiding its cruel deeds in its voice. It is just like today’s media.
THE POOR CROW
On the other hand crow is notorious bird. He is always wandering here and there in search of loaf of bread. It is always on the way to snatch piece of food from any creature of the world. It is disregarded and displaced from every where in the world. It is considered as the ugliest of birds. Many writers of great fame have rejected the crow and have symbolized it as the crook and clever world. They have condemned its very voice. They have shown a great derogation for the bird. They have treated it as general public of the poor countries.
BLUNDER OF JUDGEMENT
The people who applaud the cuckoo are ignorant of its hideous nature. On the other hand those who defame the crow are absolutely wrong. I am afraid that I cannot agree with the common opinion about the crow. I have arguments of my own. I am against the hackneyed opinion about the poor creature the crow. Those who have generalized the cuckoo as a bird of good omen and bird of dreams are false. The facts are on the opposite side of their theory. Have a close look on the living styles of both the birds and then decide the matter.
STORY OF THE BIRDS
Cuckoo and crow are enemies of each other. The animosity began due to the jealousy. He was the first bird that appeared on earth. He thought that he was the first bird who obliged the humankind. He was not wrong because he told the human being the way of burying the dead. Crow was a resourceful bird. He was thought the wisest of all. He was respected and obeyed by all the birds. His rule continued for a long time. That made him haughty and vain. He started insulting the other birds.
Then came cuckoo on the scene who was a singing bird .He was assigned the task to entertain the birds and humans by its songs. He was performing the duties well when one day the crow insulted him. Crow was duped to the pelf and pow3er.he was also proud of his past glory. He made a pun at the cuckoo.
Cuckoo was well aware of the manners of the courts as well as the courtiers .The bird devised a plan to take revenge from the crow. Such a cunning revenge was taken that lasted forever. The cuckoo started eating the eggs of the crow and laid her eggs at their place. The crow unaware of the fact had been hatching the eggs of the cuckoo. When offspring came out the cuckoo sang sweet songs and brought the offspring away with her.
In spite of a lot of struggle the crow could not save himself from the bad clutches of the cuckoo.
CONCLUSION
Whenever the crow (the common person) tried to present his case before the king, the cuckoo started singing and lured the king. The king could not hear the case. Same is the case with us the humans. The cuckoos are affluent and resourceful those have access to the authorities or themselves are authorities. The hue and cry of the crow is not heard in the noise of sweet songs of cuckoo of the wealth and authority.
The man who calls a spade a spade is made crow to wander here and there .He is always devoid of fame, fortune and even shelter.
