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
