3 little birds
Once upon a time, there were 3 birds. One was Blackbird, one was Orangebird and one was Bluebird. They are all living in a bird park. Bluebird was most senior, followed by orange, then black. Blue and Orange have long learnt the survival skills - singing the songs that people like to hear, behaving well and performing without glitches.
Blackbird however, was never content. She could only crow, and so weren't liked by the other birds and the people in the park. Though she was well-fed, she yearned for more. So she asked her seniors if they liked the status quo.
Lo and behold! Bluebird and Orangebird were well on the equilibrium scale, and contented. Afterall, they have the attention they crave for, could deliver what was expected, and had food to eat, shelter to rest and play in.
Blackbird thought otherwise. Birds belong to the skies, not to a park.
So one day, she flew away, chasing her dreams, much to Blue and Orange's bewilderment.
She never came back.
