Self Imposed Imprisonment

On the other end of the Cuperdrola jungle lived a parrot named Rizwaan. Rizwaan was one of the most beautiful creatures created by God in the tropical forest. His body aerodynamically designed and eyes razor sharp to pick up any fish playing in the mincolite river. He was perfect. He housed himself in the slender Tine tree along with lot of other friends.

One monsoon, the weather blowed hard through the Cuperdrola forest. Everyone took their shelter in their homes. Rizwaan also clamped himself strongly to his favourite tree. He saw other trees being uprooted around him. As the wind picked up he clamped his claws deeper and deeper into the Tine tree. His friends starting vacating the slender Tine tree, but he remained firm on his favourite branch. The wind picked up further and now the tree started to shudder, but Rizwaan remained firm.

Few more minutes and the tree was uprooted and it fell crashing into the junlge floor along with Rizwaan. Next day Red-ants nibbled at the tender flesh on the forest floor.
