What made the king cry out aloud? |
|
Answer» The king was thirsty. He wandered about and did not find any water. Finally, he found some kind of liquid dripping down a tree. He mistook it for water. He collected the liquid and tried to make the falcon drink it. But, the falcon overturned the cup twice, Neither did she allow the horse to drink. The king became angry and cut off the wings of the falcon. The falcon showed him the source of the dripping liquid. It was poison dripping from a viper sleeping up the tree. The falcon bore its pain till they returned to the camp. Then she gasped for breath and died. The king realised his great mistake. He had killed his pet falcon which had saved his life. He cried out aloud in repentance. |
