Charlie! Thank you

The story of an innocent bird

Which taught an invaluable lesson to a woman in grief

Will you keep them, madam? The keeper of the garden has told us that you can always keep orphans. ”

As soon as Anne Euston heard this, she saw two baby crows in the boys' hands and then began to stare at them. The children were left destitute in the garden. Now they could not take them home because the parents would take the children out.

Anne Euston was a resident of Stephen, USA. There was a large park near the house. Whenever people found injured birds or babies, they would give them to him. Anne was a compassionate woman. She would gladly take any helpless animal or bird, but Annie opened the door that day and was very depressed and upset. Then her life was shattered like a mirror and she was busy wrapping it up.

The revolution in Annie's life came 15 years ago when her husband and father of five returned from the Korean War. His chest shone with silver and bronze medals, but inside there was still a fierce battle between conscience and duty.

With small gestures, Annie found out about this fight. He could not sleep well at night. At some point in the night, he would get up in a hurry, and then his body would be drenched in sweat. During the day, trivial matters would flare up and a storm of controversy would break out. He would not talk to anyone about the war, but in his sleep, he would mutter the names of the soldiers he could not save or who had to be left destitute. Ran was a peace-loving man. He served as a doctor in the war and refused to carry a gun, but now he keeps a gun in the house; full!

On the morning of September 30,1955 in the early hours of the morning, he stabbed Annie and the children in the head. The wife cried and begged for her and her children's lives. He did not shoot them, but brought Annie and punched her. In the afternoon, he ran away from home, leaving his family behind. Anne found no way out and reported the matter to the police.

Police launched an extensive search. At last, the soldiers overtook him. With tears in her eyes, Anne watched on TV as her beloved husband was being handcuffed by soldiers in a police van.

Now disaster struck Annie and her children. Neighbors treated them as if they were lepers. Neighbors prevented their children from going to their homes. Anne taught in a primary school. Now all of a sudden his abilities began to be questioned. Life suddenly became like a long, dark tunnel for Annie.

Ran was tried for domestic violence. During the hearing, Annie testified that she was mentally and physically healthy and well before going to Korea, but after returning from the war, she found him very upset. So the wife blamed the war on her husband's plight, but the judge ruled against Anne's expectations, putting all hopes in jeopardy. The judge declared that "Ran is a psychiatrist and suffers from schizophrenia, so he is ordered to be admitted to a lunatic asylum."

Anne sadly signed the necessary papers, what would she do? He was reassured that this was the only way to recover. But no matter what he did, he refused to recognize his beloved wife.

These were the disturbing circumstances when Annie's two cubs came to live with her. Grief-stricken Annie naturally felt no desire, but as she stood at the door she realized that this was the only hope for the survival of these innocent children. So he adopted them. The little boy died in a few days, but "Charlie" survived. But then he had no idea what a revolution this little orphan was going to bring to his life.

It was Charlie who broke down the walls that neighbors had built between Anne and herself. Neighboring children eagerly came to see him. They would then find ketchup for it. One day the neighbor's child fed him ketchup for three hours. In fact, the way Charlie swallowed food fascinated the little boy.

Besides to eating ketchup, Charlie's favorite pastime was embracing. Annie's pet dog, Jackie had also raised many cats, dogs, and ducklings. He soon became acquainted with Charlie. Whenever Charlie was full, he would sit on Jackie's lap and gather Dhoni like a sadhu.

Gradually Charlie sank into Anne's heart like a good seed sows in fertile soil. It was Charlie who made Annie realize that her thigh could never come back. When the children were asleep, she would lie down with Charlie in her arms and then share her pain with him.

Annie would weep bitterly over her neglect, the poverty of her children, her father's mental illness, and the loss of her husband, and she would shed tears in secret. But, weirdly, she'd lighten up when she'd run out of dust with Charlie.

When Charlie grew up, he became a source of entertainment for everyone. While playing with the children and Jackie, someone would do such a mischief that everyone would laugh out loud. He soon learned to mimic Annie's voice and say "Jackie Jackie". When Jackie was in the corner of the house, Charlie would call out "Jackie Jackie." If a dog came running into the yard and found his food container empty, he would be very angry. He would no longer play with Charlie all day and express his anger.

When Charlie was one year old, Annie got a job in another city. He soon adapted to the new environment. He was now free to live with other crows, but he preferred human companionship. In fact, he attracted everyone in the area with his attractive personality.

When Anne returned home one evening, she found Charlie lying in the yard. One of his legs had been caught in a trap and injured. Anne found out that no veterinarian was willing to treat a crow. Finally, a doctor at Fort St. John, 150 km away, came to his aid. She ran to him again.

After examining Dr. Charlie, he said, "Madame, her leg can never be straight again." It's better to finish the story. "

Annie grumbled in front of the doctor, "Do anything but save Charlie's life." The children looked at him with hopeful eyes. Annie realized from the doctor that he also did not want to treat a bird with black wings and brown beak. However, when Annie begged the doctor, she bandaged Charlie's leg. Meanwhile, he lay quietly in his mistress's lap.

When Annie wanted to pay the doctor, she said, "I've never seen a tolerant bird-like Charlie." I will never pay for treatment. "

A few weeks later, Charlie recovered but began to limp. So he spent most of his time flying. Now Anne was worried that one day he would go home with the other crows, but Charlie kept coming home in the evening as usual. Seeing him, all the children left happily. "Charlie came home."

Charlie then tried his best to tell in his own language how his day went. If he needed something, he would ask for it in gestures. He used to sit in Annie's arms with great love before the sunset. Then after a while, he would go and sit on a nearby tree.

One day when Charlie had been traveling for six years, Annie got a call from a man. He lived near the park where Charlie usually spent his days. He said he greatly entertains visitors to the park with his tricks and human accents. Then he said, "Madame! I found out he's your pet crow. I want to buy it. I'm willing to pay up to 500 dollars. "

Anne refused without thinking for a moment and said to Charlie's fan, "I'm sorry, sir, my Charlie is not for sale."

But the man remained unharmed. I'm willing to raise money. "

Annie said, "Sir!" I can't sell it, it's not mine. "

The man exclaimed, "Yes!" So who should I contact? ”

"Not from anyone, he is a free bird."

"Azad" and Anne began to imagine that the man's eyes widened in surprise, his eyebrows rose and the receiver in his hand shook.

At that moment, Anne looked out the window and saw Charlie and Jackie playing outside. Old Jackie had a pile of bones in the corner of the park. No one dared to tease her, but Charlie enjoyed teasing her. Whenever he reached for the bones, Jackie would follow him. Then, like boxer Muhammad Ali, Charlie, trembling like a butterfly, would have felt him saying, "Just grab me and show me."

They were playing with great fun. Seeing them play, Annie suddenly wondered why Charlie didn't leave them. It was then revealed that Charlie was happy with them and enjoying his time, then he came to her again and again. The thought filled Annie's heart and made her eyes water.

When Anne returned home one evening, Charlie was not sitting on the bonnet of the car, as usual, cheering happily. She became naturally wild. He looked around and saw him lying on the porch. Annie

Her heart pounded as she ran to Charlie. He saw that his head was covered with blood, he had been shot by a tyrant.

 Charlie knew very well that Anne would search the world for him. That's probably why he came home with his last breath. Annie hugged him for the last time in the bright rays of the setting Sun and Sat quietly. Her eyes filled with tears. Shortly after, tears fell on Charlie's wings and became a rainbow.

Charlie's death made him realize again that life is very cruel and unjust. When they buried him in the corner of the courtyard, Annie felt as if a piece of her liver had come off. Statistics show that it has a natural lifespan, living only nine to ten years. But no one could fill the void created by Charlie's separation.

Everyone in the house was in tears over Charlie's tragic death. The children were sad for many days. Jackie sat on his pile of bones for hours. Maybe he expected his old friend Charlie to come and tease him and say: "Just grab me and show me."

Charlie entered Anne's life when she was mentally and physically defeated, but as soon as she arrived, the darkness dissipated and the light began to show its spring. It was Charlie who taught Annie a lesson that many people understand in a long time; learn to see the rainbow instead of the storm. Even today, Anne often says in her heart, "Charlie!" Thank you very much.
