Pigeon Story

Pigeon Story

by Furqon Abdi

One day, there was a pigeon that was a loss to find her nest. Sherly, a beautiful pigeon, had just given birth to her first child. Tom, her husband, was a stud who was much admired in the forest because of his good looks and responsibilities. Every day he fed Sherly and her children. He was always caring for them, repairing the nest when there is damage. Until at some point, Sherly was out intending to look for food for their children who are starving, while Tom had not come home, but how shocked she was when she found the nests and her children were not in the place in her return. Their nest was the only nest that was located far away and high in the tallest tree in the forest. It was too far from the other pigeons. With the confusion he was looking to and fro, asking everyone she met, on the other pigeons. However, there was none of pigeons who saw it, until she met Tom. Without capable of saying anything he hugged and cried on Tom. This made him confused, what was actually happening on Sherly, why he was not in the nest.

            "What happen my wife? Why are you not in the nest? And why do you cry? "He asked, confused.

Still sobbing, Sherly said, "Our nest honey."
"Yeah, what's wrong with our nest?"
"Our nest, lost gold," she replied.
"Hah! How come?" he asked in surprise," did not you keep it? "

            "I've been out," he replied. "Seeing our children are starving while you're not home yet so I do not have the heart, then I'm out for a while to find their caterpillars, but when I returned they were gone."

            "I told you not to keep? Looking for food for them and for you is my duty, not you dear. "

            "I know.  I'm sorry, this is my fault."
