Amid the quietness of familiar forests,
among thick branches of the trees,
the nightingale began to sing.
Happily, everyone listened to his song.
Unfortunately, in the early hour,
Magpie came from behind the border.
I am so happy to hear our nightingale sing.
My soul frembles at his sound.
Whats so good about him?
Its old and uninteresting and stale.
Don's you agree?
I'm sorry. I'm kind of old.
I can't hear you that well.
What did you say?
I said its not interesting! Boring! Dry!
Ah! How well they sing in other countries!
Any bird can sing there and they all sing so well!
Such sound such singing!
And THIS?
What is this?
Thats right, its uncomparable.
What? Someone was singing?
May I remark something brother?
Your singing is old in style.
Like this birds sang 100 years ago.
But you, my friend, live in modern times.
Whoare you taking lessons from?
Allow me to teach you how to sing!
Well... alright then.
I will be glad to learn.
Outrageous! I thought I heard it all.
But to hear that a MAGPIE will be giving a nightingale lessons!?
I canĀ“t believe it!
Magpie's Concert Acclaimed Singer (Who recently visited foreign places)
It doesn't matter how you sing.
Its most important to make an impression!
Now THIS is a real singer!
What awesome technique!
This is how they do it over there in other countries! WOW!
Heh, heh, heh...
This is so shameful and inappropriate!
How dare she sing!?
Ouch!
I have goosbumps everywhere.
If she wants to sing at concerts
she should have stayed
where her singing is valued! Not here!
Let this fable be a lesson for all kind of different birds, not just for magpies.
