The Bharunda Birds
A story about two-headed birds who fail to cooperate and suffer the consequences
1 min read
By a certain lake in the world lived birds called “bharunda birds.” They had one belly and two necks apiece.
While one of these birds was sauntering about, his first neck found some nectar. Then the second said: “Give me half.” And when the first refused, the second neck angrily picked up poison somewhere and ate it. As they had one belly, they died.
“And that is why I say:
Bharunda birds will teach you why, …
and the rest of it. Thus union is strength.”
