Living on
Story of two jolly friends.
Once upon a time, two chickens moved together, ate together, and are fond of themselves.
They were happy friends, that shared both their ups and downs.
So it happened that one of the chickens was struck by sickness. She could not eat, hence she lost the energy to walk and work.
All her friend's efforts at persuading her to eat proved abortive.
It became obvious that the ailing chicken would not survive the sickness. Then the healthy one stopped eating in solidarity with her sick friend.
In no time, she became sick herself.
The chicken that was about to die opened her eyes to see her now sick friend.
"Why did you build this sickness in your body?" she asked.
"I cannot imagine living without you." She responded.
The death-bound chicken told her not to give up on living because of her. "We were not born on the same day. No matter how much Eagle's mother loves her eaglets, they will someday separate. I appreciate your being there for me, but I'll be happier if you'll live on, carrying my memories along."
So the chicken died. Her friend mourned her for days and then accepted to move on, telling everyone about the greatness of her deceased friend.
So in the faraway starry horizon, the dead chicken turned a star in the sky, watching over her living friend.
