Injured black-necked crane

 

Dunjiashu came across a black-necked crane by the grass beside the Qingshui River in Shuiyunzhuang in the snowy area. The people in the snowy area here love the black-necked crane very much. They call the black-necked crane the "magical bird in the snowy area". It is an auspicious and auspicious symbol. A symbol of happiness and longevity. Dunjiashu was very excited and sang the popular snowy song "Black-necked Crane from the North".

But what surprised Dunjiashu was that the black-necked crane did not dance to the song, but looked very painful.

Dunjiashu walked slowly towards the black-necked crane, but the black-necked crane did not avoid it. When Dunjiashu approached the black-necked crane, he discovered that the black-necked crane's left wing was bleeding, apparently injured.

Dunjiashu asked the black-necked crane in crane language: "Are you injured? What happened?"

The black-necked crane said: In the spring on the plateau, despite the cold wind and heavy snow, it still cannot stop us black-necked cranes from coming. At the end of March, my black-necked crane husband and I flew all the way across the Himalayas and arrived at Longbao Beach first, despite the difficulties. Our arrival made Longbao Beach lively after a winter of silence. On the snow-covered Longbao Beach, our black-necked crane couple and our crane friends who arrived at the same time raised their heads and sang loudly from time to time. We were telling the surrounding herders that we were back. This season, the wetland is quiet. As the weather gets warmer, the whooper swans that have been inhabited for the whole winter fly away one after another. The rarely quiet wetland became lively again because black-necked cranes like us came here. The couple of us are relatively familiar with the environment here. Soon after arriving at the lakeside, we were busy going out to find food, replenish energy, and prepare for building a love nest. Unexpectedly, my wings were broken off by a nasty hunter with a gun. I can't fly anymore. I persuade my husband to leave here and not to die for me. My husband disagrees and must stay with me until death. I secretly came here without telling him.

Dunjiashu lives an ordinary life alone. He built Shuiyun Village on the banks of the snowy Qingshui River. He liked to plant flowers, grass and fruit trees, and sometimes went for walks and fishing by the river. More time is spent studying animal language.

However, when the injured black-necked crane appeared in front of him, Dunjiashu's life changed greatly.

Dunjiashu observed the female black-necked crane carefully. The black-necked crane's wings were seriously injured and she was bleeding profusely. It turned out that the black-necked crane was hit by a bow and arrow, its wings had been broken, and she could no longer fly in the sky.

Dunjiashu quickly picked up the black-necked crane. After returning home, he used local Tibetan medicine to treat the black-necked crane and decided to keep the black-necked crane and take care of it for a long time.

Dunjiashu adopted the black-necked crane. Feeding her carefully every day and feeding her fish from the Qingshui River, the black-necked crane's wounds slowly healed, and the relationship between the black-necked crane and the Dunjia tree became increasingly close.

Dunjiashu liked writing and painting very much, so he named the black-necked crane "Zongzong" according to the Tibetan transliteration.

Soon, word spread about Dunjiashu adopting the injured black-necked crane Zongzong.

Nearby residents often come to Shuiyun Village to visit the black-necked crane Zongzong, and also bring some small fish, shrimp and other food. Dun Jiashu's kindness moved the residents, and the local children called him "Grandpa Crane".

The story of Dunjiashu continues and is also spread among the animal world. Because Dunjiashu loves animals and is proficient in various animal languages, animals often gather at Shuiyun Village.

Many animals are hunted by humans, or their habitats are occupied by humans, so animals have developed an aversion to humans. Animals often ask Dunjiashu: Is there any difference between human nature and animal nature?

What is human nature and what is animal nature? This is an eternal topic in survival research. Dun Jiashu sang the ballad "Dan Hui":

 

Compassion is the door and kindness is the foundation.

Blessings come to the soul, misfortune brings darkness to the heart.

A loving heart is called kindness,

An act of helping those in need is called kindness.

The cuckoo loves the dawn,

The owl looks forward to dusk.

Kindhearted people are like milk,

Those who give kindness do not expect repayment.

A kind natured person does not get involved in disputes.

The sacred tree leaves no knots.

The value of a horse is not in its saddle and saddle;

What makes a person valuable is not wealth.

Charity is not simply giving;

But to gain inner fulfillment.

The eagle and wolf are dressed as beasts in cassocks;

A wicked person who does not recognize his relatives is worse than a beast.

Humans and animals all have something in common;

Love what they love, hate what they hate.
