Wise Squirrel


Once upon a time lived a parrot. She lived with a big goose and a squirrel. A parrot was smart to talk and arrogant. The big goose was kind and loved peace. The squirrel was smart to looked for food and liked to help other.
            One day, they had difficult situation to search food because there was a predator in the forest. He was an eagle, he disliked eating squirrel but liked eating birds. So, the parrot was in danger situation but it was impossible for eagle to eat a goose who was bigger then him.
            One day, they look for food, but the parrot still stayed on breeding place because she was sick. So the squirrel and the big goose went to the forest together.
A big goose said,” Mr. Squirrel, where we will go to look for food? While this forest is very dangerous for us”
A  squirrel answered,” We must be optimist! ”
“ I am not optimist! ”, said a big goose.
A squirrel said again,” We must think what happen if today we do not eat some food. What happen to Ms. Parrot? She is sick. Only from this forest we can get some food.”
“ Okay, I am with you. I walk behind you “, answered a big goose.
They went to deep forest. They went around this forest, but they did not find some food yet until the dark come. Finally they found two pieces of papayas which are small and big. Then they went home immediately.
On the way, a big goose questioned,” How can we divide that papaya? In my opinion, you get this big papaya and Ms. Parrot get small papaya. Don’t think of me!”
A squirrel answered,” It can not be like that, you must eat the some food to fill your big stomach. You eat small papaya and a big papaya is for Ms. Parrot who is sick today.”
A big goose said,” How about you?”
“ I will be satisfied when I see you and Ms. Parrot eat this food ”, answered a squirrel.
A big goose said,” You are very wise for us, but you must eat this food to leader us. A big papaya is for Ms. Parrot, and a small papaya is for me and you.”
“ Okay, I agree with you ”, answered a squirrel.
When they arrived in the breeding place, they gave a big papaya for a parrot. A parrot ate a papaya very greedy, but a big goose an a squirrel were still hungry after ate the small papaya.
“ Why is ti papaya? I want to eat mango ”, said a parrot.
“ It is dark, tomorrow I will look for mango in the forest “, answered a squirrel.
After that a squirrel went down from the tree to keep them from predator. A parrot and a big goose were still on breeding place.
“ You know Mr. Squirrel is arrogant!” said a parrot.
A big goose answered,” What do you mean?”
A parrot said,” Is he smart? He is stupid. I am not sick, I can find some food but I am lazy to do that. Now he look for food for me. Hmmmm....”
A big goose left her and said in her mind,” You are crazy saying like that. You do not understand the hassle to find some food for you. He was hungry for the sake of you, for your healthy. You are arrogant, I am disappointed of you.”
            In the morning they came together on the place to find some food. The parrot was not lazy like yesterday, but a big goose kept silent and did not talk what she heard last night.
            They agreed to look for food together. When arrived in the forest, the parrot will find some food herself. They gave permission. A few minutes after that, an eagle came. He flied around above the forest to find his prey. A squirrel and a big goose saw that and searched the parrot immediately. They call repeatedly but she did not reply. The parrot heard but she she did not know if an eagle like ate her.
Even she said, “ Ha..ha..ha.., I can look for food without you. I want to help you to find some food. Above me is an eagle. Maybe I can fraud him to find some food for me.”
A squirrel and a big goose screamed loudly,” Parrot!! Where are you? You are in dangerous!!”
The parrot screamed to eagle above,” Mr. Eagle!! I am here, help me to find some food. I am hungry and sick!!”
Then an eagle went down to met a parrot to eat her. The squirrel saw that and ran into a parrot immediately. It was tight in time when an eagle nearer.
He said,” Ms. Parrot!! Dodge from eagle!!”
“ Mr. Eagle is my friend, he meet me to invite me find some food”, answered a parrot.
“ You are wrong, you are the food for him!!” answered a squirrel.
A parrot said,” I do not believe!!”
An eagle came nearer to the parrot, but the squirrel still far from them. And the same time a big goose flied into the squirrel and said,” Mr. Squirrel, come here!! Go up on my back!!”
Was squirrel was in top of back. He went fast to the parrot’s place. The squirrel was success saving the parrot and drove out the eagle.
Then  the parrot said,” Why do you drive out him? He wants to meet me and finds some food for me!!” after she said like that, the parrot left them and came to breeding place.
The big goose said,” Mr. Squirrel, stay in here!! I will catch up Ms. Parrot and explain about an Mr. Eagle.”
The squirrel only kept silent and said to himself,” What happened? What is wrong with me?”
Then a big goose and a parrot arrived to breeding place and a squirrel followed them. After he came to breeding place, he still on down of breeding place. He heard dialogue from breeding place.
“ Hi Ms. Parrot!! You must know that Mr. Squirrel helped you!! He cared about you!!” said a big goose.
“ Who does care about me? I want to be Mr. Eagle’s friend, and he drive out him!!” answered a parrot.
“ Are we not enough for you? Do you want to choose a dangerous eagle than a good squirrel?” said a big goose.
A parrot said again,” Mr. Squirrel is only stupid friend and bad friend. He has other mind for me behind his good custom!! He was only make me embassy!!”
“ Hi Parrot!! Don’t say like that, you are bad”, screamed a big goose.
Then, a squirrel went up to breeding angrily.
“ Ms. Parrot!! You don’t know what happened between with me and Ms. Goose. You are arrogant with your smart mouth!! From now, I will not see you again. I will choose to live my self than live with you!! You are a bad friend!!” said a squirrel.
“ And me, I want to be Mr. Squirrel’s partner and live together with him!!” said big goose.
And then they leave a parrot alone.
