There lived one little bird with a loud voice. They called her “This is mine” because, flying over fields and rivers, she always shouted:
- This is mine, this is mine!
One day the bird found a tree covered with ripe and ripening fruits. There were so many of them that she could not have eaten them in a year. There was not a single bird near the tree.
The bird was delighted with such a find and landed on a tree. She jumped along the branches, pecked here and there, and soon had her fill. But she was very afraid that other birds would find this tree and want
enjoy delicious fruits. And she screamed shrilly:
- This is mine, this is mine, this is mine!
She screamed so loudly that all the birds heard her and flocked to see what had happened. Then they saw beautiful, juicy fruits, immediately pecked them and flew away.
And the poor little bird kept running around its tree and screaming:
- This is mine, this is mine!
