The Parrot made a nest in a walnut tree and lived in it. And under the tree the Snake looked for a place. When the Parrot's eggs hatched into chicks. The snake climbed up the tree and ate them. The Parrot could not protect her children, and then she decided to resort to cunning.
Once a hunter passed nearby. The parrot flew right in front of his nose. The hunter took a fancy to a beautiful bird and wanted to catch it. And she flutters from branch to branch, as if she’s asking to be picked up. And so, step by step, the Parrot led the man to the very tree under which the Snake had settled. The hunter saw the Snake and immediately killed it. Meanwhile, the parrot flew to a safe distance.
