Parrot and Crow - In Conversation

Parrot said to crow……
You are black in colour 
Your voice is hoarse 
People drive you away 
You are unwelcome everywhere 

You live on rotten food 
Look, I live in golden palace 
I am served with nuts and fruits 
I whistle and make sweet notes 

And I am loved for my feathers 
I live good life unlike yours. 

Crow replied…….. 

I agree, my colour is black, 
I agree, I don’t have sweet voice, 
I agree, people drive me away 
I agree, you live a good life. 

Served with nuts and fruits 
Still I am better than you 
You live in cage and I have full freedom 
With all good feathers 

You can’t enjoy all weathers 
You eat what is served, 
You live in cage and die in cage 
I live with all freedom.
