Stolen egg

Once a partridge, who had chosen a place on a cypress tree, looked in on a neighbor who had settled on an olive tree, and, not finding her at home, stole an egg from her nest.

Time passed, and, as expected, chicks hatched in both nests. When the noisy and voracious offspring grew up and became stronger, a significant day arrived - the flight from the birth nest.

The chicks that lived on the olive tree were the first to take flight. After making several circles over the garden, they returned home. The turn has come for the chicks who lived on the cypress tree. Having completed the flight, happy and contented, they returned to their nest. And only one chick, hatched from a stolen egg, obeying an inner call, returned to its mother, who had built a nest on an olive tree.
