00:00Everyone in the village knew old Rafiq, not because he was rich, but because he was content.
00:07His baskets were always full of perfect eggs. But here's the strange part. Rafiq had no chickens.
00:14Years ago, he had rescued a vibrant green parrot with shimmering golden feathers.
00:19The bird never left. And one morning, Rafiq discovered something incredible.
00:24The parrot perched on his arm, flapped its mighty wings, and like magic, the baskets around him filled with eggs, some even laced with gold.
00:34Rafiq never used the gold for himself. He gave those eggs to widows, orphans, and the needy.
00:40In return, the village took care of him. But greed always finds a way.
00:45A merchant tried to steal the bird one night. The parrot screeched, the hut exploded with golden light,
00:51and the thief was found wandering the forest, lost and empty-handed. Rafiq just smiled.
00:57The magic, he whispered, is ingratitude.
01:00And so, every morning, Rafiq sat in peace, surrounded by baskets and by the silent power of kindness.
