THE PARROT WHO COULDN'T KEEP A SECRET

Once upon a time in the bustling jungle of Jabula, there lived a parrot named Kiki. With feathers like a rainbow and a voice as clear as a bell, Kiki was the most charming creature in the trees. All the animals loved talking to her because she was always willing to listen—and oh, did she listen well.

Kiki quickly became the jungle’s unofficial confidant. The lion told her about his fear of water. The monkey whispered that he was stealing bananas from the elder’s tree. The snake confessed that he was in love with a bird from a rival jungle. All these secrets, heavy and sacred, were placed into Kiki's colorful care.

But Kiki had one problem: she loved to talk.

At first, she told the secrets to her closest friend, a sleepy owl who barely reacted. But it didn’t stop there. Soon, Kiki was repeating stories to everyone: the tortoise, the zebras, even the river fish. And with every retelling, the secrets grew louder and juicier.

“I heard the lion can’t swim!” she chirped loudly one morning.

“Guess who’s stealing bananas?” she sang in the afternoon.

“You’ll never believe which snake is in love!” she squawked at night.

The jungle buzzed with gossip, and soon chaos broke out. The lion was mocked and refused to lead the hunt. The monkey was exiled for theft. The snake slithered away, humiliated and heartbroken.

Realizing who started the storm, the animals turned to Kiki. Her feathers drooped as her friends confronted her one by one.

“You betrayed us,” said the lion.

“I trusted you,” whispered the snake.

“We will speak no more to a tongue that leaks like a cracked pot,” the tortoise declared.

Kiki was silenced—not by force, but by absence. No one spoke to her anymore. No secrets. No laughter. Just silence.

Alone and ashamed, Kiki learned her lesson the hard way.

Three Real-Life Lessons:

1. Trust is built with silence and shattered with words.
When someone trusts you with their vulnerability, it is a treasure—not a tale for entertainment.

2. Not all truths are meant to be shared.
Just because something is true doesn't mean it's yours to tell. Wisdom lies in discretion.

3. Words, once spoken, cannot be unspoken.
A careless word can ripple into destruction. Always think before you speak.
