The Story.
Once an innocent
young man was sent to jail. He was released after a couple of years. He was
passing through a bazaar one day. He saw many birds, shut up in small cages, in
a certain shop. He thought about the days of his own imprisonment. He said to
the shopkeeper, “What will you charge for all these birds?” He looked at his
strange customer in great surprise. But he told him what he would “like to
have. The young man paid him the desired price, and set all the birds free. His
joy knew no bounds, when he saw them flying in the air.
