Alazne exclamed"Father!"
"I seized this beautiful bird,besides being beautiful ,it also sings as melodiously as any bird I have ever heard."
Observing the bird she held firmly in her hands ,with her big,round and beautiful blue coloured eyes. Her eyes were twinkling like a star out of excitement.
She said again,"Father!"
Alazne's father was busy collecting medicinal herbs,he was a doctor,he had to always came in the woodland for this purpose and brought Alazne with him as she loves nature very much.Since very young age she gets calm,happy and excited being very close with nature.
Alazne loves the sound of the birds which cheer her up,fresh winds whose coolness refresh her and reassure her,trees whose greenary makes her always feel positive .
Alazne likes to collect different types of beautiful and fragrant flowers and makes bouquets for her mother and floral jewelleries for herelf.
Her father turned his attention to his daughter and then he saw the bird in his daughter's hands.
Alazne with her ecstatic voice said "Father I always hear this bird song at night and always wish to see and hear this bird during the day and finally my wish got fulfilled,though I was surprised to see it singing during the day and on the ground,father I didn't know anything about this bird even its name,could you please tell me about it?"
Alazne's father held the bird firmly from his daughter's hands and started analysing . His forehead wrinkled and eyebrows furrowed. Observing her father's expression ,Alazne understood that something was wrong . Though she was just a girl of 8 years old,she was intelligent than her age.
She asked her father worriedly,"Father,what happened? Is everything alright?"
Seeing her daughter worried, her father calmed her down by caressing her forehead.
Alazne's father said,"Dear,this bird name is Hayami and this poor Hayami hurts its wings that's why it was on the ground and it wasn't singing ,it was crying and groaning because of pain,it's voice is so melodious that you thought it was singing."
"What a poor creature!" He exclamed.
Alazne's eyes got filled with tears and then she asked,"Is it going to die?"
Her father smile and said ,"No dear ,it would not going to die ,Hayami is in pain and need a good treatment ,care and lots of love . We should go home as soon as possible. If God wills ,it will become fine.
Alazne innocently asked ,"Will God surely heal it?"
Alazne's father smile at her daughter and then said,"God is gracious and merciful,He never burden a soul beyond that it can bear."
"Lets go home fast dear....."
It was already the time of dusk,Alazne with her father and poor Hayami without further delay were heading towards home.
Their home is near the wood.
Sun was setting ,casting dappled shadows on the forest floor, converting green realm into golden and it was casting a magical glow in the whole woods. A flock of birds were flying towards their homes,it was beautiful to watch their togetherness . The birds vanished into the distance.
The beauty of nature is hypnotic,it calm the mind and relax the soul.
Alazne with her sweet, innocent voice saying,"Hayami,nothing will happen to you ,God will heal you,He send my father as an angel to help you,you are going to be okay soon dear."
They were rushing home ,ignoring all the beauties around them . Putting Hayami inside the flower basket, covering it with a small clothe.
As soon as they have reached home ,Alazne's father went to his first-aid room and started treatment. Meanwhile Alazne was engrossed in praying outside the room. When her mother saw her crying and worried. She came to her and stand beside her and asked about the matter.
Alazne explained everything to her mother.
To uplift Alazne's mood she offered Alazne to bake with her a fruit cake.
Alazne's mother is a baker . She is famous for her cakes,specially for her fruit cakes. She learned this from her grandmother who was also a baker. Usually Alazne's mother not allowed her to her bakery because of wood-fired oven,which is dangerous for a small child like Alazne. Alazne always wanted to bake cakes like her mother but because of her age she was never allowed to do so.
When Alazne heared about this offer,for a second she had forgotten about Hayami and squeaked out of excitement.Finally,she is going to do the baking with her mother.
