This folktale tells the story of the king and his parrot. Once there was a king who had a very intelligent parrot. When the king got old, the parrot thought that if the king were to die, it would be left helpless and alone. To prevent this, the parrot flew far and wide in search of a fruit that would cure all kinds of diseases and let the king live for another hundred years. In the end, the parrot finds the fruit and brings it back to the kingdom, only to be trapped and buried in the ground through a plot by the king's ministers. After the fruit the parrot brought back cures a small girl of an illness, however, the king realizes the mistake, expels the ministers, brings his parrot back, and lives happily.
