Afraid to raise its voice a bit.
An eye half opened as it wished.
"m?", was all it heard then but,
Felt so happy for just that response.
"May I, oh Esteemed Sir ask you one
Doubt?", it asked and felt a half glance
And relieved to see a hesitant nod then.
"Why are you here since morning and
Why do you stand on one leg since then?",
It quickly ended with an audible gasp and
Paused, just feeling it had already won!
"Hear me oh little one! I,
Abstained from my bad habits since
A long time and now choose to lie
With peace, sharing wisdom hence,
I go from one place to another and
Help many little ones like you as I
See and request them to bring one
Or more of their folk too!". It sighed.
"I ate your kind so many years back
And wished to be redeemed from sin!
These nails tore flesh of many fish.
Now put to rest, they are like rusted tin!".
"Come closer, now and don't be afraid!
I will give you gyan that will lift you
From all others who'll be simply laid,
To dust, I pity them! Don't you too?",
It asked, as the little fish then moved
Farther from the crane, that shook its head.
"Thank you Sir!", it said and quickly went.
The crane felt as if it swallowed lead.
Beware!
