Mr and Mrs Brown bird lived
in a jungle in papua. Mr Brown always complained about his feathers. He thought
he were ugly. He was jealous with his friend, Mr Green bird. “I want to have
beautiful feathers like Mr Green bird. His feathers are not brown like mine.
They are very beautiful,” said Mr Brown bird to his wife.
“Honey, you have to be
grateful with your feathers. With feathers like this, humans are not interested
in us. So they will not hunt us,” said Mr Brown bird. Mr Brown bird then went
to the God of the jungle. “I want to beautiful feathers like Mr Green bird’s
feathers,” said Mr Brown bird. “Don’t worry. I can make your wish comes true.
Just choose one color.” “Hmm I don’t know. How about red? Yellow? Green? I’m
confused.” The God of jungle was upset.” Choose now!” Mr Brown bird then looks
up to the sky. He had an idea. “Aha! I know which color to choose. I don’t want
one color of my feathers. I want many colors. I want my feathers to be colorful
like the rainbow in the sky.” Not longer after that, Mr Brown bird’s feathers
were colorful.
When he went home, his wife
did not recognize him. “Honey, it’s me. I’m your husband.” “No, my husband is
not like you! His feathers are brown!” said Mrs brown bird. Mr Brown bird tried
very hard to convince his wife realized that he was really her husband. “You
are very stupid, my husband. With color like these, humans will hunt you. What
if thy also take our children? Now, please go away! Our lives are in danger if
you are still here,” said Mrs Brown bird. She is crying. Mr Brown bird was very
sad. He thought he just made a very big mistake. He then left his house. His
name changed into Cendrawasih. It meant a bird of paradise.
