Once upon a time, an English sailor named Roger was wrongfully imprisoned because of some fake allegations cooked up by his greedy business partner to take over the entire business. Spending fourteen years of sorrow in a jail of France, Roger was finally set free after a treaty.
On his way home, he was exploring the world that was totally anew to him. Everything had changed with time, but in the midst of a crowded market, his eyes noticed something familiar. Keeping his eyes fixed on the familiarity, he moved towards it.
It was a bird selling shop full of colourful birds of different varieties.
He took out a pouch of coins from his pocket and handing it out to the shopkeeper, he said,
"I will buy all the cages."
There were atleast twenty cages and the shopkeeper seemed quite surprised. Checking the coins, he approved and brought all the cages in front of the sailor.
Roger started at the innocent creatures, more like one stares into mirror and kept on unlocking the cages one by one.
The shopkeeper, in utter amusement, said,
"Why would you do that, Sir?"
As the cages were unlocked, the colourful creatures spread their rusty wings and flew to their home, the sky.
"The innocent do not deserve their freedom to be taken away.", said Roger as if he was saying those words to someone he did like to take revenge on.
He left the market creating a beautiful scene for the crowd to watch with glee.
MORAL: THE INNOCENT DO NOT DESERVE THEIR FREEDOM TO BE TAKEN AWAY.
