FREEDOM PARROT

A man, a great man, a fighter for freedom was travelling in the mountains. He stayed in a caravanserai for the

night. He (33)_________ that in the caravanserai there was a beautiful parrot in a golden cage, continually

(34)_________ 'Freedom! Freedom!' And it was such a place that when the parrot repeated the word 'Freedom!' it

would go on echoing in the valleys, in the mountains.

The man thought: 'I have seen many parrots, and I have thought they must want to be free from those cages... but I

have never seen such a parrot whose whole day, from the morning to the evening when he (35)___________ to sleep, is

spent in calling out for freedom.' He had an idea. In the middle of the night, when the owner was fast asleep, he got up
and opened the door of the cage. He (36)_________ to the parrot, 'Now get out.`

But he was very surprised that the parrot was clinging to the bars of the cage. He said to him again and again,

'(37)__________ about freedom? Just get out! The door is open and the owner is fast asleep; nobody will ever know.

You just fly into the sky; the whole sky is yours.'

But the parrot was clinging so deeply, so hard, that the man said, 'What is the matter? Are you mad?' He tried to

take the parrot out with his own hands, but the parrot started (38)____________ at him, and at the same time he was

shouting 'Freedom! Freedom!' The valleys in the night echoed and re-echoed, but the man was (39)____________ stub­
born; he was a freedom fighter.

He pulled the parrot out and threw him into the sky; and he was very (40)____________ , although his hand was

hurt. The parrot pecked him as forcefully as he could, but the man was immensely satisfied that he (41)___________ a

soul free. He went to sleep.

In the morning, as the man was waking up, he heard the parrot (42)__________ , 'Freedom! Freedom!' He thought

perhaps the parrot must be sitting on a tree or on a rock. But when he came out, the parrot was sitting in the cage. The door was open.
