The Small Bird’s Wisdom-बुद्दी
A rich man was walking through his springtime-वसन्त समय garden and, there, he found a small bird caught-समातियो in a net. He took it in his hand and, to his surprise-आश्चर्य, the small bird spoke. ‘Set me free. There is nothing I love more than my freedom.-स्वतन्त्रता’ ‘Why should I set you free?’ asked the rich man.‘I am too small to eat. My feathers-प्वाँखहरू are grey. I am not pretty-सुन्दर. I do not sing. Please set me free.’‘What will you give me in return for your freedom?’ ‘I will give you three pieces of advice-सल्लाह.’‘I will listen to your advice. Then I will decide-निर्णय whether to give you your freedom.’‘First, do not wish for what you cannot have.Second, do not try to change what has already happened.Third, do not believe in what is impossible-असम्भव.‘Wise-बुद्धिमान् words indeed-वास्तवमा!’ said the rich man.
He opened his hand, and the small bird flew up to the branch of a tree overhead-माथि.The rich man heard the small bird laughing-हास्नु.‘Small bird, why do you laugh? Are you laughing at me?‘Yes. What you do not know is that, inside-भित्र me, I have a diamond-हीरा the size of a chicken’s egg.’For a moment-क्षण, the rich man could not speak. His eyes grew dark. His heart stopped beating-धटकन. He could hardly catch his breath-सास.Finally, he said: ‘Small bird, come back to me. Now it is springtime and all is well, soon summer will come and go, but then winter will come and it will be cold. You will be hungry. The snow will be deep, and you will have nothing to eat. You will starve-भोकाउनु to death in the cold. Come back to me and I will look after you. I will keep you warm and feed you through-मार्फत the long winter.’The rich man held out his open hand to the bird, but the bird just laughed. ‘Are you still-अझै laughing at me?’‘Yes. You are like all men. So soon you have forgotten-बिर्सिएको my advice:Do not wish for what you cannot have – you cannot have me, for there is nothing I love more than my freedom. Do not try to change what has already happened – you have already set me free, and you cannot change this. Do not believe-विश्वास in what is impossible – how would it be possible-सम्भव for a small bird like me to have a diamond the size of a chicken’s egg inside?’ And, laughing, the small bird flew away.

Dear my Lovely big Sister,
How are you? Hope all is well at home. I am back home from my trip, and the first thing I wanted to do was to tell you all about my trip-[यात्रा]. It was a completely different experience, something that I did not expect-[अपेक्षा].
We went to Lumbini. Please My lovely Sister give me permission for our educational tour for Lumbini. It is a village, archaeological-[पुरातात्विक] site, and place of pilgrimage-[तीर्थयात्रा] honored-[सम्मानित] as the birthplace of Siddhartha Gautama located in modern-day Rupandehi District of Nepal, Province 5, near the Indian border. One of the holiest-[सबैभन्दा पवित्र] locations in one of the major faiths-[प्रमुख विश्वासहरू] of the world, Lumbini's ruins provide significant-[महत्त्वपूर्ण] information about the nature of Buddhist pilgrimage centres dating back to the third century-[शताब्दी] BC.
Since it is so peaceful, many people choose to meditate there. Buddha's mother used to bathe in Mayadevi Pond before giving birth to him, which is located inside the Maya devi temple complex.
Just next to the pond, there is a tree called Lumbini that is draped in prayer flags-[प्रार्थना झण्डा]. People make wishes-[इच्छाहरू] here in the hopes that they would come true.
I hope you got a chance to go on these and enjoy a lot Waiting to hear from you.
Your dearest Little Sister,
