Did You Find My Home?

The mother sparrow left her home since early morning and headed toward the meadows to search for food to feed her three small chicks. The small chicks were standing on the roof, guarding their mother’s house. A hawk came out of the sky while their mother was searching for food, so the hawk fell from above the roof. The hawk said, crying, “O sky, I’ve fallen from the sky. How will I find my shelter now?”

The hawk looked and saw the sky, saying to himself, “I see the sky, and it seems like my home.” So he went to the sky and said, “Peace be upon you, O my home.” The sky responded, “Peace be upon you.” He said to her, “O sky, is this my home?” She said to him, “No, foolish one. This is my home. You’re above the sky, and the size is different.” So the hawk looked and found a rock, saying to himself, “It seems like my home.”

So he went to the rock and said to the rabbit, “Peace be upon you, O my friend.” The rabbit responded, “Peace be upon you.” The hawk said to the rabbit, “Is this my home, O rabbit?” He said to him, “No, my sky, you fell from the sky, but my home is inside the earth.” So the hawk looked until he came to the cave and said to the fish, “Peace be upon you.” The fish responded, “Peace be upon you.” He said to her, “O fish, are you whom I am sitting under? Is this my home?” The fish said, “No. I am a fish. I swim under the water.” The hawk flew crying sorrowfully until his mother heard him, saw him, and laughed greatly. She caught him and said, “We’re going to the sea. Don’t leave your sea again and don’t show your adventures to the scare.” And the hawk and his mother went to the sea. His mother said, “We’ve reached the cave. I’m going to watch you for an hour, then I’ll call you when the training ends.”

The hawk played with his friends a ball, and suddenly while he was playing with them, the sky became black and the rain started coming heavily. The mother called him, and he heard and ran to her with great joy. He said, “Mother, we’ve reached the cave. I’m playing the ball for a long time with my friends.” She said, “All right. I will call you after an hour when the training ends.”

And the hawk played with his friends a ball, and suddenly he was exhausted from playing, and the little bird approached him and said, “I will go with you to your home to show you your father.” He said, “How will you go with him? I don’t know his name or his person. Why will he present him to a person he doesn’t know?” The bird answered briefly, “I live in this nest and watch all of you during your training. While I was watching you, I heard a voice here, and I saw your fear of the dark. And your father always says before taking care from us, we must not be able to love him, and when we can’t change it, we learned the difference between the two, and the bird didn’t say more than he said and went on his way, and the little bird was the next one to think about what the bird said to him.

The next day, when he came to training, he asked his mother to bring him this ball and tell him about her secret story she needs to help her. So he took with her all the clothes she hadn’t washed yet, and shared with her some of the delicious fish soup that would heal the birds the mother had slaughtered. While he was helping her heal the birds with her, a bird itself came and said to him, “What are you doing here?” The hawk didn’t respond to his answer with a wide smile and confusion. He didn’t know what to say to him or couldn’t change it, so the two stood laughing with happiness under the tree.
