My life story is different from that of the rest, as it didn’t start in the nest. I was in an oval egg in the nest made by my mother and father. But when lightning struck I fell into a deep burrow. In the burrow lived a hare family which was very kind. When they saw my egg, they decided to take me as their own.
I hatched early from my egg, as the burrow was very warm and cozy. My mom, dad, aunt, uncle, grandma, and grandpa took good care of me. They thought that I would grow into a beautiful dove. But I thought that I belonged there, as we all were white.
There were many incidents when I was happy, sad, angry, and excited, but I was very depressed when a wild cobra (snake) came inside the burrow. He killed my grandmom, ate her, and slithered away. My family could do nothing but weep.
When I was a baby dove, I was naughty too. Whenever my neighbors Mr.Zozo and Mrs. Zozo visited, I would bite them with my beak. As a baby, I never knew how to fly. My family kept a secret from me and my siblings. I would go to R.K.A.S which was the “Rabbit Kindergarten and School.” We would have lots of fun learning to do tricks and Rabath (maths). I grew up and one day time came for me to leave school. The weird thing was that I was still not named.
One day, when I went back home, my mom said that my birthday was the next day. I got excited but at the same time I was sad as it suddenly occurred to me that I was different. Then she decided to tell me the whole story; I was shocked and felt dizzy. I wondered how beautiful an animal I would be. Then she gave me motivation and told me to flap my wings and to go above the burrow to see the beautiful world…
I then flapped my wings and flew all over the Jungle…. My mother gave me the name Sky… And told me to search for my real mother, while saying that she started crying. I stopped her from crying and gave her a huge hug. The next day she took me to the nest where I was supposed to have lived. We did not find anyone there. But I am still looking. When I find my original family, I’ll tell mom and dad that I would live with them but I would like my chicks to stay in the burrow.
I think my life is the most different and the most splendid ever!
