Once there lived a poor peasant besides the forest. He went to gather firewood from the forest everyday.
One evening when the peasant was returning home after collecting firewood, he saw a beautiful white eagle. It was a young eagle and the peasant took pity on it. He admired the bird and set it free.
The peasant we walked away and sat under a wall for resting. When the eagle saw the peasant sitting, it flew over him and carried away the bundle of firewood. The peasant was alarmed to see this, and ran after the eagle. But the eagle dropped the bundle in some distance, and flew away. The peasant picked the bundle and returned to rest under the same wall.
When the man reached there, he found the wall had shattered and heavy stone and boulders were scattered all around. He looked up to see the eagle, which was flying high in sky. He felt grateful towards the bird for saving him without saying anything.
Moral: Do good and the good will come to you.
