00:00Ehsanmandh Saras
00:06There is a story of a time.
00:08Saras used to live near a very beautiful pond.
00:11He was the most beautiful bird there.
00:14But he was not grateful for it.
00:17He hated his legs, his wings and his beak.
00:22And he used to complain about it all year long.
00:26Everyone used to hear him complain.
00:28From the birds living on the highest trees
00:31to the fish swimming in the deepest part of the pond.
00:34They were all very tired of listening to him.
00:38One night, when he was resting on a tree,
00:41he started complaining as usual.
00:45Oh, my legs are so useless.
00:48And these wings, they are not strong at all.
00:51Nor are they beautiful.
00:53I wish I had colorful wings like butterflies.
01:00Oh, you scared me.
01:03Oh, my heart beats so fast.
01:06My heart is so useless.
01:10You are saying a very strange thing.
01:12No one's heart is useless.
01:15Then I am not one of them.
01:17Because whatever I have is useless.
01:20My legs are like butterflies.
01:22My beak is long and ugly.
01:24And my wings are so colorless and white.
01:27There is no color in them.
01:29I wish I were a butterfly.
01:32Little Saras, be careful.
01:35Do you really think it would be better to be a butterfly?
01:39Yes, I think so.
01:42Everyone in the world will love me and like me.
01:46I can be the most beautiful human being.
01:49I wish.
01:51I wish this could happen.
01:53I wish.
01:56I warn you.
01:58But I speak the truth.
02:00No one lies.
02:01You will become a butterfly by morning.
02:06When he woke up the next morning,
02:08he felt that something was wrong.
02:10He was not near his pond.
02:12And neither was he Saras.
02:16Oh, what a beautiful flower.
02:18But I have never seen such a big flower in my life.
02:23What is behind me?
02:25Ah, wings.
02:27Now I am not Saras.
02:31I am a butterfly.
02:34No doubt.
02:35Saras had wished.
02:37But now he had turned into a very beautiful butterfly.
02:40His wings were so shiny.
02:43And he was looking very beautiful in the sun.
02:47Wow.
02:49These wings are amazing.
02:52So beautiful and so attractive.
02:57And he flew away.
02:59He fluttered on his wings in front of all the flowers and flies.
03:02Whatever he saw, he fluttered.
03:04He flew as high as he could.
03:08Oh, I look so beautiful.
03:10And these wings are so beautiful.
03:13I hope that he is not here now.
03:20At that moment, a scream followed him.
03:24He got scared.
03:25He fluttered and flew away.
03:28But his wings were not very useful.
03:31He was very small.
03:32And he had a lot of trouble getting out of it.
03:38No.
03:39I can't get out of it.
03:42Oh, no.
03:44What should I do now?
03:45Should I fly faster?
03:46Should I fly faster?
03:48Finally, he hid in the bushes.
03:50And he flew away.
03:55Oh, my hair.
03:57These wings are useless to get out of it.
04:01What should I do now?
04:03At that moment, a frog saw him.
04:06The butterfly was looking very beautiful.
04:08And the frog thought that this would be a very nutritious food for him.
04:13No.
04:14Stop it.
04:15Stop it.
04:23Oh, my God.
04:25It is very scary to be a beautiful butterfly.
04:28It has already caused a lot of trouble.
04:31It would have been better if I was a fish under the water.
04:35I wish I had a body full of shining moons.
04:39And I wish I could have a dream.
04:44I wish I could have a dream.
04:45It would have been better to be a fish.
04:48It would have been so good.
04:50The poor little butterfly fell asleep.
04:53She was very tired.
04:54She had to face that race and fear.
04:59Oh, my God.
05:02Oh, it was a very strange dream.
05:05Butterflies and a frog.
05:08Oh, it was very scary.
05:14What is this?
05:15Why can't I fly?
05:18She soon realized that the one she was flying with was actually a fish.
05:24A fish?
05:25Where are my wings?
05:27Where are my wings?
05:29I am a fish.
05:31And this is the sea.
05:34My wish has come true.
05:36These moons are so beautiful.
05:39They are shining like colorful mirrors.
05:42They are so beautiful.
05:45And she left, passing through those beautiful corals and beautiful fishes that were floating everywhere.
05:53The sea is so beautiful and I am so beautiful.
05:56I look so good here.
05:59No one can bother me down here.
06:03But as soon as she was floating and humming, she came to a lonely area.
06:09She was still looking around when she suddenly came across a pink and soft thing.
06:14Oh, what is this?
06:17It is so soft and ticklish.
06:23I am having a lot of fun playing with it.
06:27She kept playing with that strange thing until a big octopus came out from behind the rock.
06:34It was one of her tentacles.
06:36And the octopus didn't like that the fish was playing with it.
06:40Oh, it came on its own.
06:43Please don't hurt me.
06:46Bye.
06:51And it ran away.
06:52The poor fish swam very fast to save itself from that big octopus.
06:57But the octopus was even faster than it.
07:00And the little fish was not so good at swimming.
07:03Oh, I am so tired.
07:06There is so much trouble even in the sea.
07:09I didn't know that.
07:11I mean, look, there is trouble everywhere, little fish.
07:16Didn't you know that?
07:18Who are you?
07:20Do I know you?
07:22No, maybe you don't know me.
07:24But you look very familiar.
07:27Oh, I mean, you don't know me.
07:33The sea is very vast.
07:37I wish I could be the most powerful animal.
07:40Then no one would dare to challenge me.
07:43The most powerful would be a lion.
07:47I wish I could be a lion.
07:50Is that so?
07:52Aren't you happy being a powerful fish?
07:55Oh, I don't need that.
07:57It would have been great if I was the most powerful king of all.
08:02Anyway, if this is what you think and what you wish for,
08:06then this wish will be fulfilled.
08:09And at that moment, the fish fell down with a lot of bubbles.
08:13It closed its eyes in fear.
08:16And it heard the sound of the sea around it.
08:19Oh, no!
08:22But as soon as the sound disappeared,
08:25it opened its eyes and found itself in the middle of a jungle.
08:31A jungle?
08:33Why am I here?
08:35Wait!
08:37You and me!
08:40I am a lion!
08:44Its roar was so loud
08:47that it shook all the leaves around it.
08:50Hahaha!
08:52I am a lion!
08:54The king of the jungle!
08:56The ruler of all animals!
08:58No one would dare to challenge me.
09:00Hahaha!
09:02And it started roaming in the jungle in a very royal way.
09:05It attacked all the small animals it saw
09:09and ran away from its path.
09:12This is a really amazing feeling.
09:15I had never known how powerful a lion is.
09:20I am enjoying it so much.
09:24But when it was walking,
09:26it got stuck in a hunter's trap
09:28and was soon locked in a cage
09:31so that it could not free itself.
09:33Oh!
09:35What is this?
09:37Let me out!
09:39And two hunters came out of the bushes.
09:41They looked very cruel
09:42and the lion soon felt scared.
09:47This is a really amazing lion.
09:50If we take it,
09:52we can sell it at a good price.
09:55Hahaha!
09:57Come on, let's take it away.
10:00The poor lion started shivering when he heard this.
10:06No!
10:08Please don't take me anywhere.
10:10Someone save me.
10:12I don't want to be a lion anymore.
10:15I was happy being a lioness.
10:17Please make me a lioness again.
10:19Oh!
10:22Oh!
10:24Was this all a dream?
10:27Oh!
10:29Thank God!
10:31Oh!
10:33I am very happy to be in my own body.
10:36My lovely legs,
10:38my beautiful tail and my legs.
10:40Oh!
10:42I am very proud of you all.
10:45Oh!
10:47Saras had learned his lesson.
10:50It is important to be grateful for what you have
10:54and be grateful for what you are.
10:56An ordinary dream had taught him this.
10:59Or maybe this was not a dream at all.
