Black and white

 

Black and white

 

Betty the crow said to Agudemba:

Do you remember the old white goose that escaped from the slaughterhouse? At that time, the old white goose was the leading goose. He took a small group of more than 20 swans and flew into the sky together. Sometimes they line up in the character "one", and sometimes they line up in the character "人", flying and singing at the same time. The old white goose brought the swans to the north. June to August in the north is the best season for swans. Winter is here, and swans fly in groups from cold zones to warmer areas. They fly in the sky day and night. They saw a blue sea. That's the Bay of Bengal. Some older and stronger swans fly in front, while those who are younger and weaker fly behind. ​

There was a young swan that flew the slowest and fell behind all the swans. Its physical strength can no longer support it. Although it tried its best to flap its wings, it could not continue to fly forward, so it had to spread its wings and start to descend. It had descended closer and closer to the water, while its companions were getting further and further away from it, shining white in the bright moonlight.

After the little swan landed on the water, it folded its wings and swayed on the sea water, while the group of swans, like a white line, loomed in the clear sky.

It wasn't until the group of swans had completely disappeared that the little swan tilted its neck and closed its eyes. It stopped motionless on the sea, just undulating with the waves of the sea. ​

Before dawn, gentle breezes blew from the sea, and the sea water rushed under the white breasts of the cygnets. When the little swan opened its eyes, the morning glow appeared in the east, and the moon and stars gradually disappeared.

The little swan stretched its neck, breathed a sigh of relief, then touched the water with its wings, preparing to inflate its wings and take off. But he failed. Only then did the little swan seem to understand that disaster was waiting for them. But the little swan didn't know what to do.

At this time, a cunning fox was quietly walking towards the little swan and hiding in the reeds nearby. The ignorant little swan did not know that death was coming towards him.

Betty the crow said to Agudemba:

I suddenly flew directly towards the nasty fox and pecked him on the head with my big mouth. The fox saw me falling from the sky and was frightened.

It turns out this is an Arctic fox, the color-changing fox Kali. I pecked him with my big mouth, but Kali, the color-changing fox, couldn't hit me, so he said to me: "Don't get me wrong, I came here specifically to report sad news to the swans. I am not their enemy."

I said to Kali, the color-changing fox: "You always want to steal bird eggs when the opportunity arises. How can a thief like you be a friend of a swan?"

Cali the color-changing fox said: "You have always misunderstood. The prey of our Arctic foxes is only rabbits. You can ask the rabbits. Swans are the champions of flying high. How can we Arctic foxes fly to the sky to find food? The toad wants to eat swan meat. , an Arctic fox would never do such a stupid thing."

I thought about it and said, "What sad news do you want to tell the swan?"

Cali the color-changing fox blinked and said: "Humans have begun to land in the Arctic. They have begun to capture our Arctic foxes and use our fur to make their coats. Humans are the enemies of the Arctic foxes. But humans are also the enemies of the swans. Recently, Humans have opened a new barbecue restaurant in the Arctic. In the past, humans have been selling roast chicken and duck. Recently, they have added a new item, which is roast goose. Before dying, the swan that was being roasted asked me to find them and ask them to leave here quickly. . I was entrusted by that swan to tell them the sad news."

Crow Betty said to Agudemba: I have no evidence that the fox wants to eat the swan, so I let the color-changing fox Kali go. I guarded the little swan until its parents flew over, and then I helped it fly into the blue sky again.

Crow Betty happily told Agudumba: It turns out that the grandfather of this little swan is the old white goose you know, and the old white goose is now the swan king.

Crow Betty sang a song "Black and White":

 

The difference between crow and swan

Living in the world of black and white

One looks white and transparent

One is dark and beautiful

Will choose to fly freely

Everyone has their own space

 

Just like if you open your wings

Just like flying in the blue sky

Buddha always taught us

To know how to give up and gain

Only by letting go of the old attachments

to get new ideas

 

The wisdom of Buddhism is to follow fate

Buddhism often inspires people

In our pursuit,

What's important is not getting it

But cherish what you have

What is precious is treating each other with sincerity

 

Whether crow or swan

They all come to this world by chance

Even if the friendship is deep or shallow

Always fly by chance

You should adjust your mentality by following the circumstances

Don't care about the difference between black and white

 

Putting aside attachment is peace

There will be no worries if we get along as equals

Being casual does not mean being negative

Progress lies in letting go of your realm

Black and white symbolize the combination of yin and yang

True love is peace
