FAIRY TALES I

THE GOLDEN PARROT

Far far into the woods a single parrot lived

But why was the parrot deep in the woods?

He was rare

No other parrot was golden

He wore his hearts color above his feather's

Under his wings his colors still showed

Someone had to break his spell

For the meantime he waited patiently

Then one day a group of hikers came

He stayed far above the trees to not be seen

But he didn't realize that one of his feather's had fallen

A female hiker spotted it and took it home

Such a rare feather should go into her collection

As she held the feather she closed her eyes and wished for a pet

She then put it away and turned off the lights to sleep

In the box she had placed the feather in started to rattle and light up

Suddenly the parrot appeared

The girl was scared and tried to hide herself

As her heart raced her eyes were trying to see through the dark

Then quickly she turned the light on and tried to spot what was there

The parrot looked at her and just stared at her

She thought of why the parrot was there and why it was golden

Then she realize that she had asked for a pet friend

The parrot didn't know if to talk to her or to wait and see

She was happy and placed the parrot on top of her lamp

The parrot was happy and decided that it should wait

The next day

She talked to the parrot and asked it if he wanted something

He moved his beak and insinuated food

She laughed and said of course

I'm hungry too

She went out and bought some food for both of them and she bought him a stand we're he could be

She wondered if he was potty trained and if he knew how to talk

Some parrots talk

Even when they mock another

She tried talking to it every time

But received nothing

She bought it a bird bath and placed it in the garden

After sometime the parrot would get on her shoulder and follow her

He would take his bath while she fed the other birds

Who would have thought that out of all the pets a rare parrot would be her pet

Then one day as she was in the garden the parrot went up above the tree because it felt something odd

As he looked he spotted two guys

He never seen them around but why were they near her home

He crept closer and over heard them speaking

They said, she's there alone it's time

The parrot flew high and went to the girl

When she saw him she smiled and asked him we're he went

This time he spoke

He said to her, hide, hide

She looked at him and couldn't believe it talked

She listened to him and hid

Suddenly the door burst open and the two guys came in

They were looking for her

To take to their boss

Apparently she had hidden herself from him and he was just taking what was his

She kept quiet and tried to slow her heart

They passed by her hidden spot and didn't see her

They decided to light her home up so she wouldn't have a place to go to

As flames appeared the parrot appeared before her

He told her to not be scared and just close her eyes

She kept her eyes closed and stayed huddled

The parrot flapped it's wings and gold dust fell on her

The flames tried to creep towards her but couldn't touch her

She looked at the parrot and held him close to her

She ran out of the home and asked the parrot were they could go

He flew up again and lead her to a cabin in the woods

After a long hike they got to the place

Suddenly the parrot started to light up

Colors flashed all over

The parrot then transformed back into a human

The girl was surprised and couldn't understand what had happened

The man before her then told her that he had to be in that form because he had done a lot of wrong

He now had to help someone and do good

She was able to break his spell

She then told him why all of that happened to her

He then made traps in case they came looking for her

After sometime they became closer

Then they started having feelings for each other

After more time they settled down and had a family of their own
