🦜 Title: "Kavi and the Talking Parrot" 

 

 A heartwarming bedtime story for children under 10, featuring animal friendship, gentle magic, and a clear moral

In a colorful village by the backwaters of Kerala, lived a curious boy named Kavi. He loved stories, especially the ones whispered by the wind and sung by the river. But one day, he found the most magical story of all—inside a parrot.

This wasn’t just any parrot. It had emerald feathers, golden eyes, and a voice that sounded like a flute. The villagers called it “Vaakku,” which means “word.” But Vaakku hadn’t spoken in years.

Kavi, with his gentle heart, visited Vaakku every evening. He didn’t ask for magic. He simply sat, shared stories, and offered mango slices.

One dusky evening, as the sky turned orange and the coconut trees swayed, Vaakku finally spoke.

“You listened,” the parrot said softly. “So now I’ll tell you a secret.”

Vaakku told Kavi about a hidden grove where animals gathered to share stories. But only kind listeners could enter. That night, guided by moonlight and trust, Kavi followed Vaakku to the grove.

There, he met a wise elephant, a dancing deer, and a turtle who told tales older than time. Kavi didn’t speak much. He listened, learned, and laughed.

From then on, Kavi became the village’s youngest storyteller. But he always said, “The best stories come when you listen with your heart.”

🌟 Moral: True magic begins when we listen with kindness.
