In the heart of a vast green jungle, there lived a mighty tiger named Rayan. His golden fur shimmered under the sunlight, and every creature feared his roar. He was strong, fearless, and proudย the true king of the forest.
The Envy of the Sky
One day, while resting under a tall tree, Rayan watched a clever crow dancing with the wind. The crow cawed loudly and swooped through the air with confidence and grace. The tigerโs eyes followed it with admiration.
The Fall
The tiger climbed to the edge of the highest cliff. The wind blew against his face. His heart pounded like thunder. The crow cheered from above, โYou can do it!โ With a mighty roar, Rayan leapt from the cliff, stretching his paws toward the skyโฆ
For a few seconds, he felt the rush of air, the illusion of flightย but then gravity pulled him down. He crashed through the trees and landed heavily on the ground.
The Pain and the Realization
โYou are a tiger,โ the crow continued. โThe ground is your kingdom. Your power is in your strength, not in your wings. You tried to be meย but the sky already belongs to those who were born to fly.โ
The Return of Wisdom
When Rayan healed, he no longer looked at the sky with envy. He watched the birds with respect, but not desire. He began to understand his true natureย fast, powerful, majestic. He returned to hunting, protecting his territory, and leading the jungle with wisdom. The same animals that once laughed at him now admired his strength and humility.
The Moral of the Story
We all look at others and think their lives are betterย that they have something we donโt. But every creature has its own strengths, its own purpose.
The tiger learned that flying is not the same as living freely. True freedom comes when you accept who you are and stop comparing yourself to others.
